Catalina is on another level here. Few gymnasts can work beam like this. She is part of the greats on this event like Shannon Miller, Yang Bo, and Silivas and Dobre. Just so effortless, exact, deliberate, total control. I will add the word dominate to Ponor as it comes to mind in watching her here in one of the great masterpiece performance of many for her on this event. Bravo

I wish there were more gymnasts like Catalina Ponor nowadays.

Cata was and is one of the very best on beam and floor routine! The world and gymnastics community is forever debted to Catalina Ponor, yes, Romania!

Catalina is a Legend!

Catalina Ruled!!!

QPHashSS77 you act like it’s easy to get a silver medal at the olympics. It’s more than you’ll get.

Catalina Ponors beam technique and strategy is what every coach should be showcasing to their gymnast student. even when she seems even the most microscopic bit of off she attacks and salutes the skill which forces even the tiniest wobble to look SOLID. she has near to not deductions when it comes to her skills just because of that, she always attacks the skills and keeps it flowing so the possibility of a wobble doesn’t even have a chance to present itself, this is a solid beam set.

Essa série da Ponor é uma perfeição, uma obra prima, um auge da ginástica na trave de equilíbrio

Out of all the beam routines I have seen ,nobody can beat Catalina Ponar what a beam worker 5*

Patterson's beam puts me to sleep, and I mean that in the best possible way. The skills are really hard but she lands so softly and works with such calmness, it's so relaxing to watch.

Interesting that the top beam workers a lot of the time seem to do much harder stuff when they're younger. I remember seeing videos of young Gabby Douglas and Komova and they had craaazy combinations back then.

Realmente a melhor do mundo catalina❤️

Ponor is one of my all time favorite BB workers! I think Kupets was very underrated. I know she was injured here, but in general just underrated. I miss THIS quad...

Elasticidade e sincronização perfeita dos movimentos da série. Me passa a impressão que ela e a trave é um só corpo.

Obviamente la mejor es Catalina Ponor!!!!!!

Catalina Ponor at the Athens Olympics ... wow!

Without underestimating others, I just felt Catalina Ponor more powerful, gracious, divers.

bravo Catalina .

La desmontada de Catalina fue épica. Clavada y de un solo golpe.

Me hubiese gustado como a muchos que hubieran sido las ganadoras Catalina Ponor, Alexandra Eremia y Anna Pavlova.

Mi amor para las rumanas de gimnasia.

How does that american girl land so softly on the beam each move😂 Both her and catalina were almost perfect on beam

I agree with you there--f**king stupid to DQ her for taking a cold pill.

I have never been a big fan of carly patterson or courtney kuppets. Carly always did the big skills but she is very robotic with her dance and its almost like her fingers are glued together. It dosent flow like it should. Courtney Kuppets does what I call " cookie cutter" gymnastics. She isnt a very exciting gymnastics bc she does the same skills as every other gymnast on the planet. I also have to mention the fact that she cant dance to save her life!

she's quit and done other things and then come back in those years though. She hasn't competed all the way through. It's probably easier for her to do the same routine given how hard it is to learn new skills, especially as you get older and have had time off

I like Carly's routine better--it has a nice rhythm and flow... it just looks and feels more solid. Ponor's style is a little erratic and her variety of skills comes off hodge-podgy to me. I think it came down to the dismount though... Ponor drilled hers like Bart said. She left nothing on the table.

@QPHashSS77 I absolutely agree with you, people simply don,t understand. When Carly attacks the beam, she shows even more decision and courage than a North Korean soldier, and it,s to admire her natural grace, so free and far from the russians and roumanians, boringly attached to a kind of internal music that doesn,t let them show a true freedom of expression. Carly was the first to teach that everyone, on the beam as in his life, has to do exactly what he or she wants, and that treating the beam or the floor as a blacksmith is graceful, not only, though also, funny, so boring la Catalina. What a shame, this warrior of the gymnastics, even with her sweaty gold, has been obviously underrated.
