I like this gymnast a lot and she's a great bar worker. I just wish she wouldn't stand on the lower bar for a low-high transition, it seems too easy at this level.
Maybe she had a traumatic fall or something. Cheng Fei doesn't do bars because she's scared of them, maybe Daryia is scared of flying from low to high. You never know LOL.
For some reason, all I can think watching that is, "She's more screwed than most gymnasts would be if she breaks a toe. She won't even be able to train bars."
It's like Zgoba DIPS into her stalders. I can't describe it any other way. I agree about the length of Nastia's routine... and almost every element of it is labored as if to emphasize the difficulty level. A bit much.
I am still in awe of Zgoba's shoulder flexibility.
This routine isn't with all of her skills in it, it's only around 6.8 for her A Score, with everything, it goes up to 7.1, so she'll be right up there with Nastia & Beth
I honestly don't even understand how Nastia's routine is worth so much. She must really be working that code. Beyond the front 1 1/2 front twist on one arm I don't see what is so "special" about her routine.
Exactly. By the way (correct me if I'm wrong): is the L-grip the same as the Eagle-grip? And isn't an endo in L-grip named after Morgan White?
I hope you can help me with another question: what kind of grip is this one: (from youtube movie: 7rAIvtqf-WQ = Lichelle Wong UB EF Europeans 2007), at 30 seconds. She turns both hands 180 degrees inwards and performs some endo's (is this skill named after someone?)
i miss the piked stalder underswing to high bar entry she did at worlds... but what a difficult, cleanly executed and original routine. Bars are the best when done that beautifully. respect dariya!
I like how she changes grips

The squat on low bar is actually a 0.1 deduction. Shame, shame. Tsk, tsk.

Why doesn't she fly up? A 0.1 could be the difference between medaling and not medaling.

Yeah. I wonder. She seems powerful enough?

@alexzjay I don't think she's scared lol. But I wish she had her own move in here. The pike stalder hecht from low to high.

i love her work... nastia's routine is overly long and all her pirouettes aren't as exciting as zgoba's stalders IMO...

She connects the piked stalder with the Tkatchev, both D's plus 0.1
The Ono 1/2 connected to the Gienger gets .2
The eagle full with the pak get 0.1, and she does mostly D skills, so it adds up
NewNastiaFan101 4 years ago
well she has two release moves, both in combination, and all her special requirements. but i see what you mean.

maybe, but what if they unexpectedly get food poisoning? what then huh? haha. Zgoba's God!

I wish she would connect that jaeger to her pak salto, then her routine would be unbeatable!

Holy crap she works SOOO fast. I love it. She just looks confident.

If she could to that "Toe-on endo" with straight legs this routine would be the best bar routine of 2007 (IMO!!)

Beautiful lines (like all her compatriots of course)!

Best L grip endos since Yarotska

i agree. they all top out in the perfect handstand.

L-grip = eagle grip = inward = inverted
BTW the Eagle endo isn't named after Morgan White, that's the Eagle endo 1/2
oh, and in that Lichelle Wong video, that's definitely eagle grip

Thank you so much for clearing that up :D

Yes she needs to bring that element back into her routine to start it off.
