How about those high stances? The only time she hits anything below 45 degrees is when she drops into her semi-butterflies. Not impressed

Her form is excellent, but how did she get 9.8? I had thought 2 points were dedicated to nandu, and it looks as though she has only a 540 inside (0.3 + 0.15) and an inside fall (0.2), creating a 1.35 point deficit.

in 2007/2008, the official competition rules for worlds were declared as nandu only for barehand (changquan/nanquan) events. judging did not include nandu for weapons (jian, dao, gun, qiang, nandao, nangun) events.

nandu was recently (re)added to the rules for short weapon events in 2009 so she wasn't missing any points at this time.
