Golden Age of Gymnastics – Bars

July 23rd, 2009 | uncategorized

At my gym the most frequently mentioned gymnasts are Tsukahara, Yurchenko and … Elise Ray. She has 3 skills named after her on Bars for cripes sake.

What an innovator!

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

This is one of the routines picked by numblemon from her Golden Age of Bars 1994-2000.

Click through to see why. Other routines shown as examples: Maloney, Bi, Chelsea Otto, Doni Thompson. Like Elise Ray, these are not routines often mentioned in 2009.

I love elise ray’s gymnastics. she has such beauty that was never rewarded internationally. i agree with the composition deductions in that routine though. definitely should have removed those back swings. you could take this routine with a few minor adjustments and it would still be quite competitive today.
