1. Ma Yanhong's uneven bars routine was the first routine that was named after a Chinese gymnast, it was no longer possible after the changes made to the uneven bars.

2. Mo Huilan performed the amazing uneven bars routine that awed the crowd. But later on the gymnastic committee changed the rule and the routine was considered as technical fault under the new rule, thus it was no longer performed.

3. The uneven bars one armed routine perform by Liu Xuan was the most difficult in the competition but the woman technical committee awarded it a very low C rating because the they didn't not want to encourage it.

4. Despite performing the most beautiful and difficult bean routine, Kui Yuanyuan got the bronze medal. The organizing committee later apologized to her but said they couldn't give her the gold she deserved because the medal was already given away. WTF.

Goto youtube and you can see comments like this:
I've watched a lot of gymnastics and I have to say that this was I think the most egregious medal robbery. Not only did she not win gold, but she won bronze. Gogean and Khorkina's routines were child's play next to this.

2012伦敦奥运会竞技体操项目已经结束，中国体操队总共获得了4金3银1铜的成绩。回顾一下中国体操会征战国际赛场的历史，十年、二十年前的体操动作甚至比今天的更加精彩！然而很多动作已经被禁，绝迹江湖。

【马燕红下】是第一个以中国人名字命名的体操动作，难度表述为腾身或腹回环，团身后空翻转体360下。1981年世锦赛马艳红将Muchina 180发展成了转体360从此获得命名。但自从1984年奥运会之后，因为高低杠器械的变化和技术的发展，“马艳红下”从江湖绝迹了。那个时代高低杠间距低，运动员不可能象现在那样用两个大回环来完成高难空翻下法，只能采用蹬杠、腹回等“弧形”类动作来做下法，“马艳红下”就是这类下法登峰造极的巅峰之作。

【莫氏空翻】——中国女子体操名将莫慧兰独创动作：团身前空翻越杠再抓杠，难度在于空翻过程中，越杠后的反手抓杠眼睛是看不见杠的，也就是所谓的盲抓。自从中国队凭借这个动作惊艳国际赛场，国际体联就修改了规则：把这个动作后面的虚摆算作中错，仅次于掉下器械的扣分。从此这个动作惊鸿一瞥，绝迹江湖。

很多人知道刘璇是悉尼奥运会女子平衡木冠军，可是她最强的项目不是平衡木，而是高低杠，她在高低杠上有两个命名动作——【刘璇单臂大回环】、【刘璇单臂大回环接京格尔】。但国际体联以动作不合适女子运动员为由，不承认动作难度。可怜的刘璇在亚特兰大奥运会还没开始就知道自己两年的努力白费。

【奎媛媛平衡木炫目】1997年瑞士洛桑世锦赛平衡女决赛，中国队奎媛媛的平衡木从难度到质量征服全场，并且使用了难度为g组的后直转体360度这个动作，而裁判出人意料地把她的分数压到了第三名，全场嘘声。尽管事后，国际体操联合会就此事向中国队和奎媛媛道歉，但以奖牌已颁发为由不予调整。原本属于自己的金牌被黑走，使她整个体操生涯留下遗憾。

虽然这些惊艳的动作被国际体操联合会禁止很无奈，但有我们更多体操动作在传承，被世界承认。
