ECKATERINA LOBAZNIOUK1999 WORLD'S TEAM FINALS-BEAM

THIS GREAT LITTLE RUSSIAN GYMNAST ONE YEAR BEFORE THE SYDNEY OLYMPICS SHE PERFORMS THE FIRST EVER STANDING ARABIAN SOMERSAULT ON THE BEAM IN A NEAR PERFECT PERFORMANCE EVEN WITH A COLD! SHE SCORES A 9.600 WHICH IS WAY TOO LOW! SHE GOES ON TO EARN THE SILVER MEDAL ON BEAM IN THE OLYMPICS ALTHOUGH I THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE WON GOLD-ITS A SHAME HER CAREER WAS SO SHORT BUT SHE LEFT A GREAT MARK ON THE SPORT.
