One of my favorite routines ever.

Yes, many of those scores were a little on the conservative side. And when you think about how close Bulgaria was to the bronze medal in the team competition, you really have to feel for them.

Bulgarian classical deduction. They deserved bronze

Sadly, IOC only dedicated 3 feeds for archive. One was the main feed, and then two were alternating by rotation between Two of 4 teams. so USA full rotation available are only FX, UB for both Compulsory and Optional. I bet somewhere they have the full event apparatus feeds, maybe one day it will be released to the public but who knows. Plus the feeds that I have are horrible quality. Shitty framerate, shitty sound, and shitty everything lol.

@@211jump No one has ever seen Melissa Marlowe's disaster of a compulsory beam. I guess that's a good thing?

Disagree. It was superb.

@@mchur001I just find it very odd how they threw a 10.0 in the first session… There was a couple routine after Dagmar that were better but didn’t recieve anywhere close to 10.0s.

@@xxlistenxx2410 Her extension was wonderful and she took serious risk in her handstands. So many gymnasts tried going to full handstand and ended up falling. Dagmar's routine maybe wouldn't have been a 10.0 but the judges backed themselves into a corner when they threw Dorte a 9.950 before Dagmar.

I thought her optional floor routine was the most artistic floor routine of these Olympics. So I might say that she deserved her spot in the finals based on both her compulsory and optional routines.

Missy had 2 .1 deductions in her routine. The first was the precision/correction on her half turn on the high bar, the second was flat feet on the cast to stoop over the low bar back to high bar. 9.750 is accurate as the max score would have been 9.800

@@mchur001 i do not agree, that was the best of the Americans and it deserved at least a 9.85 or 9.9: it was as good as the GDR or ROM gymnasts

@@metsdudenj It was not the best of the Americans and had obvious deductions, such as what I mentioned. Definitely not as good as GDR. That is why she was lower in the line up. Her optionals bars was SO MUCH stronger.

@@mchur001Only 2 GDR gymnasts were better

@@metsdudenj No

when they had penaluty? after the team fianl or after the compulsories ?

@@MarketoromagnoloThe compulsories. Apparently, Madam Berger led a handpicked jury in the basement of the arena to take the .5 off.

Madam Berger would have found any reason at all to take a deduction off the Americans total if it wasn’t Rhonda. She could have said Bill Strauss was hanging too close off the barrier when talking to Chelle Stack. Or the girls were warming up too close to the other team. Anything to make sure her team did not relinquish their third place standing. She would have found a way. And let’s remember as well… there was bad blood between Berger and Karolyi for years. The decision was personal and political. At the same time, it served notice that the US was becoming a contender. Although I highly doubt anyone on that competition floor could have predicted the change the world would go through during the next quadrennium.

Pode-se notar que Bela Karoli recebeu uma notificação, logo após a apresentação de Phoebe Mills nas Paralelas Assimétricas, leu, dobrou e não deixou que as ginastas vissem. De fato, foi muito injusto essa penalização!

@@Marketoromagnolo After compulsories finished a .5 neutral deduction was taken from the team score due to alternate Rhonda Faehn removing the springboard and remaining on podium during the first routine of Kelly Garrison-Steves. This was against the rules and Berger took the deduction. Berger hated Bela because of his antics in 1984. He jumped the barrier in 1984 when Mary Lou won the AA. This was against the rules. Berger warned Bela she was going to take the deduction if he leaped over the barrier and he did it anyway. Berger approached Bela and said she would take the deduction from Mary lou (which would result in losing gold and any medal) and Bela dared her to take the deduction in front of an American crowd. She chose not to and instead got her revenge 4 years later. Ellen Berger was East German and the head of womens technical committee.

I try! Unfortunately some of the feeds have some choppy frame rates so I apologize for any future uploads having weird choppy frame rate experiences.

@@211jumpThe best part is no nonstop commentary. Pure bliss to just watch the routines without the incessant talking.
