I still love this routine for 2 big reasons: 1. That Bhardwaj! Coolest transition and great execution here! 2. THAT is how you do a full twisting double layout. Most gymnasts pike it. She is fully stretched and beautiful. Go Mo!
@@enchantedella6495 did nobody tell you casts need to be off by 30 degrees to be deducted even -0.1 in elite, which mohini's never are? this ain't ncaa babes
I CANNOT believe that Elfi and Tim babbled on right through Mohini's routine-especially her unique signature transition skill on bars! I wish they'd just shut up some time!
WOOOOOOW i remember when i was little and we watched the olympics.....she was my favorite....... now i'm watching this and i never knew how amazing she was!!!!!! haha
Given the SV, the score was fair. But, Bhardwaj is an example of how the camp system has failed in accomplishing what should be one of its main goals: applying the collective knowledge of the nation's coaches to address shortcomings in National Team member routines. Granted, Mo was not a serious contender until Trials and was never considered to be TF materials on anything but VT until Athens prelims had ended, but that shouldn't have prevented the coaches preparing this team for the Olympics from maximizing her potential on every event. Assuming some new skills were beyond her capability at that point (though I agree that she could have easily learned a hop full, which would have given her a 10.0 SV if put before the Tkatchev), she had competed several skills already that could have been added to beef up her UB, BB, and FX routines to 10.0 SVs: UB: 9.80 base SV Front Giant 1/2 before the Tkatchev = C + D = .10 more Cast 1/1 before the Bhardwaj = C + E = .10 Alternatively, she could have switched the two high bar releases and done a free-hip 1/2 before the Tkatchev for .10, and placed the Front Giant 1/2 before the transition for the final .10. BB: Intended 9.70-9.80 base SV 1-arm BHS + LSO + LSO = .20 Split 1/1 = .10 Aerial + Back Tuck + BHS = .30 new* Switch to Back Dive 1/4 = .10 Gainer 1-arm + Back Pike = .10 *new* Switch Side = .10 *new* Punch Front = .10 RO + BHS + Double Tuck = .20 *new* FX: Intended 9.90 SV, realistic 9.70 (only credited 1x with the Popa + Tuck Jump 2/1) Gogean + Popa = .20 *new* DLO + Punch Front = .30 Full-In: .20 Cat Leap 2/1 + 1 1/2 = .20 Tuck Jump 2/1 (solo) = .10 *new* Whip + Whip + BHS + Double Pike = .20 *new* Alternatively, she could have added a Strug to one-foot before the Gogean for .10, and/or added a 4th line of 2 1/2 twist for .10 (and added A+A indirect for an additional .10) or Front Full + Front Tuck Full.
Whoever you are shut the fuck up. Mo went to the Olympics and you did not. She did just fine. So keep coaching gymnastics from your computer you ratchet skank.
Negative Nancy A front giant 1/2 was not a C skill in the 01-04 code. An L grip giant 1/2 was a C, but she had never done L grip work before. Also, I don't understand why you would change her dance skills. You may feel, after observation, that you have an idea of things she could do, but I highly doubt Galina and Chris would've kept her doing marginal dance skills if there were better options.
The thing they missed out on with her Bars was doing the Bhardwaj out of a Shaposh for .2 connection bonus. She'd have 10 SV while being able to take out a HB release, and the unnecessary Cast 1/2, and the Shoot to HB that she always caught too close on: Shaposh + Bhardwaj Maloney + Bail + toe-circle or stoop through to HB Giant 1/1 + Tkatchev (or Toe 1/2 + Gienger, whichever pirouette is easier for her) Double Lay 1/1 dismount On Floor the big thing EVERYONE didn't figure out in this code was Double Turn + 2/1 jump to prone for a C + D connection that would be consistent and hard to deduct. Bhardwaj could have been the Floor champion, she had the best choreography that year (especially if she would have been able to take out the clunky Popa + 2/1 Tuck) and huge, clean acro. On Beam the Tuck jump 1/1 should have been used by almost everyone since it was overvalued at D and very connectable. Khorkina's combo of Switch Split + Tuck 1/1 + "3/4" straddle to side support was probably the smartest thing anyone did on Beam that quad. The next smartest thing was Alexandra Eremia's overvalued D + C combo of Switch 1/4 + "Straddle 1/2" to side support. It's also a big mystery how the Gainer Layout dismount was a D for so many years and not exploited. That thing should have gotten downgraded way before 2017.
@jojo1802 Actually I think I was wrong in saying 9.8, i think the start value was actually 9.90. Anyway, to get an extra tenth she could have added a C element (something like a toe-on to handstand, stalder, or free hipcircle) before her tkatchev to recieve a tenth in connection, or she could have changed her full pirouette to a free hipircle full or toe-on full for an extra tenth.
i dont know what else she coulda done for a transition. she already had a shaposhnikova as her first and a stalder lift as her second. the third transition was simple but it worked well with her routine. if anything she should have connected a piruette with the tkatchev to get a little more bonus. she coulda probably pulled off a hop full directly connected to the tkatchev.
Her start value was 9.7, so actually, this is an extremely high score, rewarding her for excellent execution. Most of the US team had 10 start values, that's why their scores were higher.
I think this transition isn't considered as an element anymore (it's not in the code). The gymnasts get 0.3 deduction for a bar change without performing an element.
I hate to defend Tim, but he was right. She let go a bit too early. She was able to work with it and only have the slightest of hops forward but it was a mistake. She didn't get the height she normally did, and got more distance: that's a result of letting go early.

This routine gets more exciting as it goes along. Mohini is an underrated gymnast IMO.
I completely agree with you! She has have more difficult and complex routine than Carly and Korkina
The Bhardwaj is one of my all time favorite transitions-so cool! :)
She works at my gym now she is my coach!!
my mom's friends with her mom!
Code of Point 2013-2016
Difficulty : 6.2
Execution : 8.900
Score : 15.100
LMAO. Your execution score is off by about 2 points. She missed EVERY handstand.

@@blockvoting You still DO NOT get to call something perfect when clearly cheated
The Bhardwaj is one of my favorite transitions on bars ever! So cool. :)
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A FULL IN LAY DISMOUNT DONE THIS WELL !! Most gymnasts pike it so hard it really should be devalued most of the time
Yes it is! It's an awesome move-and it's named for her. The Bhardwaj. :)
She was always so consistent. Love her!
So good to see her do so well 8 years later. :)

I loved watching Mohini.

I just love this routine... it is absolutely amazing!
i know i love that! it got named after her right after this routine. it's now the "bhardwaj"

Best high to low transition and best full twist double layout
Im still bitter Kupets didnt back out of AA and let Mo go. She certainly had no problem doing so on beam in TF.
The full twisting pak is fantastic!
Yes, and I really think that she could do a harder 3rd transition to the high bar. That one was so easy! That skill was her problem.
@jojo1802 Actually I think I was wrong in saying 9.8, i think the start value was actually 9.90. Anyway, to get an extra tenth she could have added a C element (something like a toe-on to handstand, stalder, or free hipcircle) before her tkatchev to recieve a tenth in connection, or she could have changed her full pirouette to a free hipircle full or toe-on full for an extra tenth.
OMG! Is that the Goonies Theme I hear in the background! I must see it! Does anyone know who it i?
me after this routine ended > 😮

seriously... what he said she let go early i was like WTF is he talking about lol? rock on, Mo
this is realllly cool
She was soooo underscored :(
No she wasnt. The score is actually pretty on point for the system it was running off
Her body line is pretty awful and that’s a consistent/costly error
Her start value was 9.7, so actually, this is an extremely high score, rewarding her for excellent execution. Most of the US team had 10 start values, that's why their scores were higher.
shut up tim, that dismount was gorgeous
nice exercise
She's a gangstress, is she the oldest to have ever competed in Women's Gymnastics for the Olympics?
Bhardwaj technique for life...
i know me too : ) sometimes (when i'm not paying attention) i think she's gonna do a bail, then she does that instead! it's just so cool : )
well her start value was only a 9.8, so if you were to add the two tenths on to her score it would have been a 9.687, which would have qualified her.
If they used the score system now she would probably make it since it would increase her start value due to difficulty
I think this transition isn't considered as an element anymore (it's not in the code). The gymnasts get 0.3 deduction for a bar change without performing an element.

I think the bhardwaj is very cool :)
idk how this routine is out of a 9.8.....it's difficult AF!
Names of the skills?!!!
wow full twist pak salto
Nico A it’s called “The Bhardwaj”, named after her
lol my mom is friends with her mom
Great routine, but god look how empty that stadium is? WTF Greece!?!
This was only the qualifications. Generally, that is the least attended part of a gymnastics competition.
It was a national holiday!
I don't know! She was amazing, I guess that she deserved the finals and didn't get it!
Tim and Elfie are so annoying. Talking through the whole routine, even through Mohini's unique element, the 'Bhardwaj'. :/
Its literally their job to?
