So there seemed to be a lot of sentiment that Steliana Nistor was being overscored in 2007-08 (at 2007 Worlds Bart Conner almost acts like she ran over his dog he's so annoyed by her scoring). I'm relatively agnostic about it...

But I'm curious about those who do have feelings... why do you think she was (or was not) being overscored?

Steliana Nistor did a back tuck on beam on her IG.

She's planning to make a comeback for Team Romania as a bars specialist. Of course, I'm kidding. She really did do a back tuck in beam though.

Best Romanian Uneven Bars Routines Since Their Decline on the Event in the 90s

In the 70s and 80s, the Romanians had many great bar workers like Nadia Comaneci, Teodora Ungureanu, Emilia Eberle, Ecaterina Szabo, Lavinia Agache, Aurelia Dobre, and Daniela Silivas. However, after Belu and Bitang took over in the 90s most Romanian gymnasts were powerful tumblers and consistent all arounders, but weak bar workers. IMO these are the best Romanian bar workers since then.

Oana Petrovschi was the 2002 World silver medalist on bars. She had a really nice layout gienger and Fabrichnova. I chose her routine from semi finals over the final because she didn’t catch close and have a dead hang on her toe on shoot. Plus she stuck her Fabrichnova :D

Daniela Sofronie was by far the best bar worker on the 2004 Romanian Olympic team. She had a lovely 1.5 stalder + jaeger and ezhova. She also made event finals.

Steliana Nistor had a huge 7.3 d score in 2008 and scored 16.15 in the 2008 Olympic team final. Her routine would still be worth a lot in the next COPs (6.4 in the 2009-2012 COP, 6.3 in the 2013-2016 COP, and 5.8 in the 2017-2020 COP).

Ana Porgras was the last Romanian medalist on bars at the Worlds or Olympics with her bronze medal in 2009. Though I think the routine she did at Romanian Nationals is better than her routines at Worlds because she doesn’t finish the inbar 1/1 super late like she usually does. She did some very rare skills for Romanians on bars like the ono (not in this routine but it was in her 2011 euros routine), inbar, and inbar 1/1.

This is Larisa’s best bar routine of all time imo. Shout out to the Japanese coverage for being the only ones to show this routine. It has a 6.3 d score and combos like her stalder 1/1 + van leeuwen and church + pak. She even scored higher than Simone and Kyla on bars that day.

Random thought but I miss Steliana Nistor on UB. Romania could really use someone like her now *sigh*

Best bar worker for Romanian team: Larisa Iordache or Steliana Nistor?

STELIANAAAA

Eaker's stuck vault in PanAms was SO tucked - her knees were at a 45 degree angle by the time she completed the first twist. Idk how she's been doing those DTYs in training, or if it's just competition nerves/reverting to habit.

god, i wasn't even paying attention to that because a) i like that she does a 1.5 instead of being stuck with a full until a DTY comes up, and b) i feel like i already am too bitter about her beam scores so i try to see positives in her other events lol, but it's true, she goes full steliana nistor in the final half twist. ao much for being positive about her vault :(

if kara is training a DTY then it's not going to be a real thing any time soon if she needs to tuck that badly to make a full become a 1.5, unless it's as you said and she does the 1.5 like that because of DTY training habits. either way her eventual DTY is not gonna be very good lol.

“It really is not fair. Back in 2007 when Shawn competed because of the 15 yo rule, she actually medaled against Steliana in the AA. Back then that rule worked against Ro as they lost an AA gold that would have been Steliana's. Now, when this rule would help Romania, it's no longer there.”
