    You've got to love this trio of commentators. Al, of all people, is the one who brings up how dangerously close Alexandra came to being seriously injured on her second pass and it gets glossed over. And this is after Elfi voices disappointment and they talk about how the James Bond music "didn't fit." It's like no one truly cared that this young girl narrowly avoided a life-changing injury.

Trying to bring others down while ineptly attempting to bring yourself up is comical- and a failure to completion.

Today the beam (and floor) are won with routines that have personality and variety.

There are so many other words to use other than "little or no talent." Yes, this gymnast had a horrific floor excercise, but it was her first international competition and she was all nerves, poor thing. This gymnast had plenty of talent, just didn't have a good day and it was very unfortunate for her, but she at least wasn't severely hurt or crippled.

      I love Svetlana and I have great respect for her. I understand your comments her vault is sloppy, but I love her bars and what made Svetlana revered was that she defied the odds of her sport. Gymnast are small, under 5 ft like Keri Strug and Kim Zmeskal were 4'7 that body type was liked cause it would allow them to do the hardest stuff and fly on tumbling in floor exercise. Svetlana was 5'4 or 5'5 which is tall for a gymnast; coaches and gyms turned her away saying she was too tall and couldn't be a gymnast until one coach told her Svetlana you can be special. The USSR was a gymnastics factory always creating. She created moves to accomidate her height and has the most moves named after her in the code of points. That's why she is so revered. She did 3 Olympics which not many gymnast do.

    • @captainbryce1
      @captainbryce1 4 роки тому +13

      You have to put it in context. Yes her gymnastics did look rather unorthodox (even sloppy) particularly on the vaulting and floor tumbling events. But her style actually worked very well on the bars and beam. It was also very unusual back then to have a gymnast be so tall, so she had to basically create a new style that worked for her. That's why she has so many moves named after her (she couldn't do some of the moves the smaller gymnasts could do). The real reason she is so revered is because her resume. Like her or not, she is a 3-time world all-around champion (the only person who's won more is Simone Biles), and a 3-time Olympian as well. On paper, she is one of the all time greats, regardless of how anyone subjectively viewed her as a gymnast.

    Elfi making a comment like that was super unprofessional, no matter how terrible the gymnast did. Neither she nor Tim Daggett ever competed in an Olympics, and Elfi only competed in one Worlds, winning a bronze in vault (and probably then only because the Worlds were in Canada that year and they threw her a bone). Don't get me started on Al. None of them had experience in the level of gymnastic moves they were commenting on as this competition was 10 years after either of them were even halfway relevant in the sport. NBC's decision to replace Elfi with Nastia Liukin was a well called move.

      lol fair call-I think I meant the Al dude but I did say Tim. But the comment about Elfi and the fact that the gymnastics they did back in the early 80’s were less complicated than what these athletes were doing in 2003 still stands. I will say that I’ve watched a lot of these and Tim tends to be a little more gracious in his opinions. But Elfi is hateful just about every time. She disparaged the Romanians and Russians every chance she got but when the Americans screwed up she would talk about how awesome they usually are. I think that’s what rubbed me the wrong way. Anyway, thanks for the correction!

But she is on a team with Khorkina, who would have murdered this girl with just a stare.

That’s why I prefer the BBC or FIG broadcasts-they may make comments but they’ve never been cruel.
