Kupets was amazing on bars, and this was one of her worst competitive routines as a senior. Had she done what she was capable of, she could have won. That endo full killed her every time out.

I miss these style of bar routines … endos, hop fulls, markelovs etc , just stunning!

She was one of my favorite gymnasts - loved watching her routines!
Nice to see some different camera angles than the NBC coverage.

I have a beam list in my head!
"With the same confidence that a man would." Pfft! Like female gymnasts are any less confident.
He meant she swings the uneven bar like the men do the Hb, since UB are so like the high bar for men's today. But I agree that it was worded badly.
Indiscutiblemente Khorkina se llevaba el título si no caía.
@cam2540 Umm...not true. Tweddle has never competed a Tkatchev (note the spelling, by the way...).
I met her
"Have you ever seen a bigger Katchev than that?" Yes, Beth Tweddle!
I've seen bigger in JO competitions.
Dawes could do a bigger one but she always did a hindorff in competition.
