Jaycie's floor routine is the most interesting and unique I have seen in gymnastics. I just love it!

Totally agree. Even Kim Zmeskal. I HATED Kim's choreography, but her tumbling was SOOOO damn awesome that it completely made up for it. And D Dawes was my FAVE on floor, but even her routine during these Olympics was just so-so compared to her Malaguena routine back in '94. I LOVED that routine.

The days when USA floor routines all had contrasting styles ;(... At least it's somewhat getting better with Hurd, McCusker, and Mecullum.

What I liked so much about the Americans here is that they seemed to have so much difficulty throughout all of their programs. And on every apparatus. Even their weak links were rather strong. And even with all the difficulty, they were so solid. People can say how much difficulty the Russians had on their events and that's fine, but the fact is, they didn't hit. The Americans had similar difficulty on the events and they nailed the shit out of it.

She and Betty Okino were the first African Am females to compete in the Olympics. Charles Lakes was the first male in 1988. Dawes was the firt female to win an individual medal, and Jair Lynch won a silver on parallel bars the same day that Dawes won bronze on floor.

the thing about that is that they can drop one score. so if they had 1 fall on each event, they can just drop that score as long as all the other girls nail their routines. also romania only had 6 teammembers, so they had to use all of them, even if they werent really the best at the event

I never said Moceanu's wasn't. And in all practicality if Nadia was born in this era...she would be the star of this era. But she wasn't. She was the star or HER era. And I think NAStia has proven that yes artistry CAN win out :) Good for her! :)

I like 90's gymnastics, but the scoring was totally wrong. Jaycie's beam was I think a 9.6 and it was totally better than Carly Patterson's team final beam, and she got a 9.612. And other times they are totally overscored. It sucks.

The tumbling in Moceanu's routine is elementary compared to todays scoring system and the athletes of today. But her artistry and performance was SUPERB!!!! Gymnastics is missing performers!

Well of COURSE it is compared to TODAY'S scoring system. But you CANT compare gymnastics of yesterrday to that of today. That is like trying to take nadias old routines up agains tthe new scoring system.... For its TIME it was a solid tubling routine. What will today's tumbling be condiered tomorrow?

It was considered an asset to have younger athletes as they were smaller ,more resilient, and less afraid of hurting themselves. So making them appear younger also made the judges consider judging them slightly better because of their “cuteness” and be more amazed that someone so young could do what they did. This was before stricter age requirements. Look at the intro piece to the TF ... they said they were all little girls dancing for gold 🤢. Definitely problematic by today’s standards.

*Shudder.* Moceanu was super-talented, but Lord, that CHOREOGRAPHY. It's just embarrassing. Didn't ANY of Karolyi's gymnasts stand up to him on this garbage? "Bela, are you on crack? I'm 14/15/16, dude, waaaay too old to be twitching my shoulders and lifting my chin in that cutesy way."
