[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think this is throwback and is related to outdated thinking that women must be graceful, not powerful.

Do away with thee dance moves.  Let women be strong powerful gymnasts.  [/quote]

I remember seeing a routine with a fake little tantrum on the mat. It was so stupid.
Like a pP said, let them do a little yoga or some calming stretches. We get that they need the breather; the breather is going to be all muscle memory stuff, and watching them do a stretch will still be pretty darn fascinating to the audience who will probably pull a hamstring trying to get up off the couch.

What’s the point of having a routine at all if this is what people want to see?  Just have them all do the exact same skills and see who does it better.

I won’t watch it because I prefer the old school style of gymnastics, but apparently the type of stuff that appeals to girlie girls like me is stupid.[/quote]

I completely agree with you. Have a set of skills (with set transitions) and have each gymnast do it. Seems like it would be easier to score. Routines have become robotic with little variation from gymnast to gymnast. It is no fun to watch anymore.[/quote]
