What Exactly Are the Announcers Saying In the Video Clip?

Henrietta Onodi's '96 Olympics optional FX routine
Translated from Japanese by Trower


Reporter - Yasuko Miyajima
Commentator - Ayako Akaba

Reporter:
  "And up next, the return of "The Magyar Flower"; let us watch
   Henrietta Onodi's floor exercise.  She won a silver medal in this
   event at the Barcelona Olympics."

[after 1st Pass]
Commentator:
  "Piked moon salto. 
   She came down because she lost a little height there.
   This athlete has her own distinct 'mood' of performance...distinctive
   mood of Onodi's...which is one part (I) would like (people) to observe.
   She is good at making breaks between moves."
   

[after 2nd Pass]
(at the same time)

Reporter: "(She) twisted!"

Commentator:  "Double twist...she's hanging on."

Reporter: 
   "She turned 22 this year. A blank of two and a half years 
   since Barcelona.  Entering college in America and competing at the
   Universiade in Fukuoka were two factors which ignited her desire 
   to return to gymnastics.

[during 3rd Pass] 

Reporter:
   I can see that she's 'performing gymnastics for the bottom of her 
   heart'."

Commentator: "Yes."

[After event]

Commentator: "If we compare her with her previous days..."

[end of clip]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Commentator: "...her skills have gone down, but..."

Reporter: "9.462"

Commentator: "...there was something which grabbed us."
