Pretty much. It was a weak event in Atlanta but they weren't terrible. Marinescu, Amanar and Milo were all fine.Is 1997 officially when Romanian bars went to shit? What happened?
Most Romanian gymnasts don’t particularly struggle with bars fundamentals, so that doesn’t surprise me. Plus their training method of high reps lends well to compulsories in general.Romania won compulsory bars in Atlanta.
I always thought Ponor’s bars were shockingly unpainful to watch.Most Romanian gymnasts don’t particularly struggle with bars fundamentals, so that doesn’t surprise me. Plus their training method of high reps lends well to compulsories in general.
If you watch Ponor on bars, you’ll see what I mean. Where as Sabrina Voinea has issues on bars that are more commonly seen from US gymnasts who struggle with bars
Luminita Miscenco.
Moceanu's dad tried to have her murdered.
She ended up at air force academy iirc
That must have made it easy for her to fill in that "Why did you leave your last position?" question on her next application.
Thanks for the info @Matilda23. I’m glad she got her moment at CWG.@RAFIKI Zeena McLaughlin iirc in 1999 was doing her final year of high school. 2000 Olympic Trials age 19 she was looking good, but not as good form as in 98 imo. Australian team had a lot of depth for home Olympics. Zeena was olympic reserve with Katarina Frketic. Sadly Zeena missed both Atlanta and Sydney Olympics when her club mates made the teams (Jo Hughes, Lisa Moro; Brooke Walker, Trudy McIntosh, Min Cleland).
Zeena’s early beam routines were interesting with 1 arm handstand planche, Yang Bo jumps and arabesque.
Her AA gold performance in 98 Commonwealth Games was a highlight - she stuck every dismount and both vaults!
Really enjoyed how fluid Khorkina was on beam and the different levels she used. Thought her routine with one big wobble was scored quite harshly compared to others with multiple small mistakes.
