Most obvious overscore was Gutsu on Floor ... Her leg separation on vault was overlooked when she did a double twist (in previous competitions) but shouldn't have bee overlooked on a single (basically the compulsory vault of this competition). So yes, I think Shannon was robbed more now than when I originally watched.

Shannon was also cheated on bars, nnly getting a 9.9 when she got a 9950 and 9.962 in the other competitions in Spain. There was some serious cheating going on here.

He said she needed 9.937 not she would barely get it. The other announcer, Epke Zonderlands high bar coach btw, says it's worth 9.950 which is still lower than Shannon's best vault. All that not withstanding, Shannon should have won in my opinion.

Part of this is really a function of 1) the difference between a good score and a great score being pretty negligible, and 2) almost everyone doing the same Yurchenko full vault. But man, we’re the vault scores wacky as hell. You cannot tell me that Miller and Milosovici deserved the same score for their vaults. Not when Milo had obvious (albeit extremely minor) form breaks in the air despite her superior power and air position. You cannot tell me either vault was that much better than Boginskaya’s two. Just flawless air and body position. You definitely cannot tell me Gutsu’s vault was better than Zmeskal’s when Kim clearly had better form, power and distance throughout. And you can’t tell me Lysenko deserved the same score as Bogi and lower than Milosovici and Miller when she did a way harder vault and stuck it cold. Yeah, maybe not a 10 because her knee bend on her landing was a little deep. But still, beautiful form and it was stuck.

Shannon was so overall superior to everyone there besides Tatiana Lysenko(honorable mention to Boginskaya too) Gutsu definitely had great difficulty for this era, can’t take that from her but her head and neck down on every landing, looks unprepared for the impacts. Shannon had difficulty and fine tuned aesthetics.

[@mallorypapp2334]

Gymnastics was so graceful and elegant then, not just about power.

[@lovewasawillow]

I think this is when you could see gymnastics start to slide into the emphasis on difficulty over everything. This CoP was better than '85-88 because of the scoring in 0.05 increments, although I do miss the emphasis on ROV from that earlier code. I think this right here is where FIG should have stopped with requiring more and more difficulty. The routines here are almost perfectly in balance in terms of difficulty, artistry and execution. People will argue that today's gymnasts do more difficulty, but just because you stuff your routine full with more difficult elements doesn't actually make the routines better. Not to mention that there is a lot of room for errors and sloppiness in today's routines, whereas these girls had to show complete mastery and one slight wobble or one slight step could cost you a medal. Not to mention the material they were working with. The floor had half the spring of today, the bars basically had no give at all, the landing mats were harder, and the old vaulting horse was obviously much more difficult to vault on. I've gone back and forth on whether the 10 system was better but I think at the end of the day, it is. Nowadays you can stack difficulty to infinity, but on execution and artistry you can only lose points. If the score is only out of 10, it only takes a single tenth deduction for artistry to tank your score, whereas even with today's strict artistry and execution deductions it is almost impossible for those factors to outweigh the difficulty value. Anyway, all of this is futile because I don't believe the FIG will ever go back to the 10 at this point. But still, we can dream.

[@ktm_washere]

So... I have a question... I love watching gymnastics, but I'm not a gymnast, so no nasty comments, please, as I am genuinely interested to know... I always look at the late 80s and 1990s gymnastics as a kind of "golden era" - there seemed to be a lot more variety of skills, inventiveness, and definitely more adventurous tumbling, and stuck.landings. Nowadays, exercises seem very similar among gymnasts and nations, unless you are a Simone Biles type who invents ridiculously difficult skills, but doesn't care about stuck landings because the D-score is so high she will still get huge credit. Would love to hear from some of you in the know... What do you think?

[@worldartgym]

Gymnastics is way harder now. Harder skills make it harder to stick or perform perfectly. Back in the golden era, the goal was to be perfect moreso than difficult. Difficulty is rewarded now which takes away from execution. Also there are new deductions that didn’t really exist back in the day… But landings, stuck landings, were the hallmark of the golden era. That’s my personal opinion at least.

[@ktm_washere]

@@worldartgym Thank you - I appreciate your reply. The whole thing is amazing - don't know how they do it!!

[@worldartgym]

I edited my previous reply to you, check it out! Basically just saying how the way routines are evaluated now is completely different. There’s new deductions that didn’t even exist back then. But sticking a landing was such a focal point for judges and spectators alike. Thanks for your question!

SIEMPRE HE ADMIRADO A RUMANIA, POR SER EXTRAORDINARIAS ! PERO EN ESTOS JUEGOS LAS PUNTUACIONES PARA LAS GINNASTA FUERON MUY BAJAS, SIENDO SU EJECUCION EXCELENTE, TODAS FUERON MARAVILLOS, ME REFIERO A TODOS LOS PAISES, TREMENDA EJECUCION, PERO LAS PUNTUACIONES BAJAS !
