Amazing flexibility, beautiful leaps, difficult tumbling, innovative skills, confidence, poise...this beam set has all the necessities of a beautiful routine!
It is such a shame that she wasn't named to the Barcelona team. She was super graceful and had immensely difficult, but innovative skills. She was inconsistent, but I'd rather watch her than Gutsu. She, along with Dudnik were born in the wrong era because even though she was inconsistent, her difficulty alone would still put her in top spots if it was today's code.
As the commentator said Tatiana's huge problem was inconsistency; anyone who is faintly knowledgeable of gymnastics knows that you HAVE to be consistent to be a champion. Tatiana was one of the greatest gymnasts never to win a World or Olympic title. She won silver in the 1990 Europeans. She was beautiful and stellar though. Wonder what this beam routine would score nowadays with the new scoring system? Does anyone know?
Just unbelievable!I have this on video at home, My daughter, who is almost 8 and already an elite gymnast, is absolutely amazed when she watches this. Tatiana really struggled with consistency, and as the depth of the Soviet team was so great, she was never named to World or Olympic teams. Sad, as her difficulty was light years ahead of other gymnasts. She competed a double full-in on floor, and i have never seen any other gymnast, male or female compete this skill at all. Just amazing.
I think I prefer Groshkova's beam just slightly over Dudnik, despite her wild inconsistency. Her leaps and extension were superior and her routine just as difficult. Did anyone else notice that guy in the audience who was flipping through a magazine right when she set up and executed her original skill? Then he heard everyone else gasping and clapping, looked up and put the magazine down briefly to clap too, but he totally missed it! Lol, his loss.
You are not allowed to compete elite at 8 years old. You need to be at least 10 or 11. The highest level you compete at 8 is level 8. And Alexis Brion competed the double full in, and I am sure others have as well.
It wouldn't have a very high start under the 06-08 Code since she only performs six skills that are C or harder. But if you take those six skills, add her flip flop (B), her full turn (A), and assume she included two other B elements (and let's assume she included a fwd/swd skill, which is now a requirement), you're looking at a 6.1 start value. Again, though, that seems low because in 1990 nobody even dreamed of cramming in TEN difficult skills into a routine.
I wish gymnastics was still like this .

I honestly think she may have done the most beautiful leaps of any gymnast, ever.
Truly an underrated gymnast

Graceful, strong…Incredible! So original.
Cuánta elegancia, esa es la gimnasia que la mayoría echamos de menos 💕

amaizing routine...really amaizing

@gymnasflipz Brion and Groshkova were the only gymnasts to ever do the double full-in. Brion's was piked, but very messy.
WOW!
naturalmente fantastica per lei e' come si stesse esercitando al suolo wowowowowow
It was "mental game." Meaning that her mental issues in the sport are too bad because she has amazing athletic ability.
She Plays The Female Gymnastic Role Of Elmer Fudd!
Just amazing! Dance and difficulty
wow. wowowwow
Any judges out there? What would this routine score now in todays scoring system?
