I randomly stumbled upon this final while trying to see the changes from 1984 to 1988 to 1992 in bars.
There's a lot I had forgotten about this that is so weird to me.
1. WTH is with Gutsu scoring higher than Miller?! Her routine was clearly not better. Her technique was way more messy.
2. Oh my god, back in the day when Romanians killed it on bars.
3. Seriously these days the Chinese don't get enough credit for literally being the most innovative team to ever get on bars. This is just spectacularly different, unique, magnificent bars work in a time when everyone was doing basically the same routine with slight variations.
4. It really strikes me now watching back on any final pre 2005-2008 quad how much the handstand focus changed bars. I actually appreciate that a lot. At the time I don't know that I thought it was such a massive change. To me it really made bars stunningly beautiful when done well. The handstand emphasis just puts an exclamation point on technique.
5. There's so many routines here that had less than a tenth of deduction that just don't look that way to me. Judges were REALLY generous about not deducting ugly arching, bad technique, and really seemed to care only about how the landing of dismounts ended up. Everything else was kind of meh if you keep your legs together and get through your routine and its from 10 you'll get in the 9.9 range.
