[99LiveLove]

Beautiful choreography and certainly elegant, way to go girl!, this woman has great talent and it shows!

[MsValenC]

Ahh bien ami no me sale eso Ni hay!!

[kolikolakoli]

I don't think they are starving to death. They have to practice every day for about 10-12 hours, that's a lot of exercise, of course they are gonna be that skinny.

[Eliketi]

She's good, but not great, some of her routines were really stretched out and got so repetitive that it started to irritate me. Examples are 0:18-0:23, 0:28-:32, 0:50-0:52, 0:58-1:02, and just in general little spins throughout the routine, and the ending was nothing spectacular. The upsides are that her transitions from one move to another were smooth, she looked enthusiastic and happy, and had energy, but creativity goes a long way in this sport.

[0xXxJulixXx0]

Que hermosa serie



[AkatsukiXNoXYuko]

Damn I wish i could do that....or at least catch the ribbon every once in a while..>o<

[IzzyEpiphany]

How long do these guys have to train?? I have been training with my cat,s ribbon thingy, but it's to heavy so I bought a proper one off Ebay for £4!!

[orangeorquid7]

wauu - -very nice :)

[SarahKaroliine]

Lindooo

[strawberrycupcakez1]

i want to get 1 of theis ribbons in lilac but i dont think u can get them in ireland ='( (btw ireland is were i live dublin 22)

[aquia80]

@strawberrycupcakez1 Try ordering via ebay. Do a search for gymnastic ribbon and you will see Olympic grade suppliers that ship worldwide. There are also people there that dye their own ribbons and can customize the colors. I purchased a pair of ribbons for my daughter for her birthday and we're in Australia.

[Ntiemy]

uau, movimentos perfeitos! Fiquei impressionada

[anointed0408]

TRULLY BEAUTIFUL...KEEP IT UP & MAY GOD BLESS YOU!! (US CITIZEN)...YOU'RE INTERNATIONAL YAAAAAAY LOL!!

[MrGis45]

[wpunkzz]

[Angeliclily]

8D Love the spanish take on this.

[lovemydoodle]

at the begin she's sort of like a barbie doll! COOL

[TheHoliday555]

she's mediocre at best -_-

[PGVG8]

awsome

[crazyxicexsk8er]

this is one of the only RG routine that ive actually seen someone smile through their routine and look like theyre enjoying it(:

[JessaBlaat]

die ist nicht besonders gut ;)

[KJMelodic]

I love this ....great job!!!

[Marinhaa33]

[HaydeeMary]

woooow..that was amazing..im jst amazed right now..lol..from the music to the routine..from beginnig to end..that was just phenomenal..especially the music..has never been used in RG...it's really unique.. ^_^

[Angeliclily]

O[]O

[Fantastywolfix]

if gymnastics mean doing 1000 pirouettes a sec. and throwing the ribbon in to the air instead of DANCING and making the best of it that was pretty good...

[RGvelbujd]

music ? 

[MrDjayigotsomethin4u]

Woooow this is so amazing.We had to do this in a P.E lesson.It was sooo god.

I wish I could do these kind of tricks.

Lovely

[sweetiefromthed]

thats how its done, bravo!

[SternOrStar]

J'aime l'enchainement, elle, mais pas la musique !

[alaskannarwhal]

wow, she's amazing... that looked flawless

[Emmasosha]

Omg, she is really good Canadian! I realy, really enjoyed this and... She got a 15! That's totally underscored! She deserved about a 17.525.

[wittenevel]

@Emmasosha 17.575? Wow that the score that an elite rhythmic gymnast like Vera Sessina would get.

[cherokiimslm]

really nice the way it looks like the ribbon moves to the music ;-)

[JenniferJaymesHale]

em.. yo lo hago mejor a eso.. (?)

O SEA, NOOOOO xD jajaja

OMG!! yo me quedo sin aire en los dos primeros pasos xD

(Y)

[ellorajohari]

Beeeeeeeeeautiful!

[123kitcat123]

hey whats that move called at 0:07

[sergioooh]

front illusion flip?

[freezesucker13]

It's called a forwards illusion.

[Kuratako]

It's just a double illusion. It's not a flip.

[godbepraised1]

WOW! This was awesome!

[gabrielita50]

beautifuul!

[cityfashion1]

she was a guest judge at my summer camp and we had a Q&A session with her, she said that she really liked ribbon but she got too comfertable with it so she had some mistakes. but in real life she is SO nice and helps you as much as she can.

[floramae07]

BRAVO!!!!

she's so amazing!!!!

^____________^

[sergioooh]

Her routines are soo Amazing because she really knows how to perform!

Plus she has loads of charisma!

[LunaAurelea]

Horrible! She needs to loose weight!

[3060675]

That's a really sad thing to say, especially in a sport where so many women are pressured to the point of starving themselves. Shame on you. I'm glad she was representing Canada in 2008, although I was hoping for Bessonova's gold, but c'est la vie.

[Dadik1]

Yes. Good that she represent Canada. She's so powerfull not like Kushnerova.. Becouse for me Kushnierova's routines are anemic becouse maby she's flexible but she dosen't have any power. ://

Great Alex!

[salali6]

She looks like she's at a healthy weight. Let's see you get up there and do that.

[MrPumpkinFace]

Wow where's a canoe paddle when you need one!

[ladiepa123]

one word...wow..

[aleksanderl]

She seemed troubled and she had some mistakes.

[SaphieKitsu]

God.

I'm no ribbon dancer, but I'll say that's freaking amazing.

[totallygothboy]

perfection.

[appropriate5566]

lol..i think she wants to amuse

[lovellyloveme]

its an instrumental to do you only want to dance.

from the dirty dancing:havana nights soundtrack.

its sung by mya.

[ordarel]

what's the name of this music please????

[lovealysealways]

holy shizz that is good!!

[Lyssenk0]

I loved this. I thought only Yulia Golubenko could do a quintuple pirouette in that wolf jump position.

[shecutess]

WHAT KIND OF RIBBON DID SHE USE.

[masha5maria1965]

performance kind the ones that don't make any sound and are for compotition use only.

[Dadik1]

One of the most popular bran of RG apparutres is Sasaki.

[akeginuyue]

me gusta el estilo de esta gimnasta, lastima que siempre recibe calificaciones bajas.

[Rothiii]

does anyone know the name of the move that she just did from 0:07-0:10

[amerie100]

its called an illusion.

she does a throw with double illusion.

[Rothiii]

tysm =]

[masha5maria1965]

its called an illusion!!

[Splitleap]

its called a tonneau

[aqwel1987]

someone know the name of the song plz?

[davilamasoly]

best best best best

[winxclub2295]

I love gymnastic rythmique

[3mileycyrusrox3]

I am doing a project on her

[kittenkitty2]

ribbon dancing is sooo much fun lol... just dont get tangled lol

[samanthagiveskisses]

oh my gosh, it's just turn after turn! i mean, she has really powerful turns and all, but that's all she does!

[AnaCWentz]

that's because she's using the ribbon.

she has to do the pirouettes

[greendayrocks07]

don't get me wrong, it's amazing she can do all that, but she just sort of did the same things over and over. bit repetitive.

[268482]

She´s doing the same movement that Tchachina used to do on her performances...Just pon the 00.13....

[rhythmiclove]

its called the butterfly leap.

[lukika3015]

I know her I go to the same club as her

[bogletive]

OMG that must be so awesome!

[magrier1]

A BIT TOO MANY PIROUETTES

[fashiondesigner552]

each apparatus dominates in different skills. clubs dominates in balances, rope is leaps, ball is flexibility, ribbon is PIROUETTES, and hoop is 2 skills from each category.

[magrier1]

oops! sorry i didnt know

[flyingwind66]

I agree... pirouette-dominant doesn't mean it's the only available element. Kabaeva (gold 2004) only had 4 pirouttes in her routine (different occasions/types not number per spin) and Barsukova (gold 2000) had the same, emilie livingston (another canadian, competed in 2000) had 6... alexandra had twice that at 12 ... you only have 1 and a half minutes to do your routine, so make it interesting, it feels like she's killing time.

regardless, I'm canadian so I'm glad we have a gymnast for 2008

[Callisto777]

Yes, but the COP has chaged changed since 2000-2004, gymnasts have to do more pirouettes!

[princessiero2]

Isn't it 6 of the dominant element and 1 of each other one?

[Liviahel]

Caramba!Era essa a série original?!Muito boa, fantástica mesmo...Vários giros, pivôs, sem ao menos um desequilibrio....Pena que no PAN a Fita arrebentou bem no meio da apresentação, senão ela ia ficar com as meldalahs de ouro todas pra ela....mas ela levou três....tah bom demais!

[silvarsouza]

Ela realmente arrebentou pena que esta coreografia pra fita não vingou. Tudo por causa da faixa.

Boa sorte pra bejin!

[lynziemarie]

Shes such an amazinggggg performer.. shes in for the next olympics right?

[Yuchers]

yup she's in for 2008!!!! woohoo Canada represent! - she placed 9th at worlds 2007!
