This is driving me crazy - when did the uneven bars get too far apart for the women to do the "sit" position? Here's Nadia doing it:

I think it has been a gradual thing, but I am trying to remember when the women couldn't do this move in the Olympics. My husband and I remember watching them do this as kids (I was 5 years old when the Nadia pic was taken), but can't figure out when they stopped. Anyone have any idea?
Thanks...
