davaistoi: the problem is, you can’t get an appreciation of how hard this is… because she does exactly what you are supposed to do in gymnastics - do the most difficult stuff, and do it flawlessly, and make it look easy. - Tim Daggett on Aliya Mustafina’s UB

Top 5 Favorite Routines: Bars

5. Jaycie Phelps, 1996 Olympics Team Optionals

IMO, Jaycie was one of the USA’s most underrated gymnasts, especially on bars. She had a beautiful and aggressive swing, gorgeous lines, and better handstands than the vast majority of gymnasts in her day. I think this routine was one of the most important components of the Mag Seven’s win that day - she started the UB rotation (and the entire meet) off with a bang, setting up the team to get bigger and bigger scores as the rotation progressed. This routine started it all off right. 

this is turning into another night of crying about gymnastics
