I like Shawn Johnson! (:

[TheDamtac]

She doesn't have any dance moves... at all

[gribae]

She's 16 and Chinese put their surnames first (like Japanese and S, N Korea so westernised is Linlin Deng)

[catLanding]

...so precise...but so robotic....to bad that nowadays the artistic side of artistic gymnastics is fading away.....

[Hasoginy]

She also really grown...now even more beautiful!

[Milli080]

OH noo! she's growing right before our eyes. So cute~

[theghastlypirate]

A lot of the Chinese gymnasts have grown since the Olympics. I think the main change has been in weight gain. They have gained weight because they aren't training quite as hard as they did before/during the Olympics. He Kexin has grown too and Yang Yilin has gotten a little taller too.

@theghastlypirate

Actually, Yang yilin has grown A LOT taller, i think at least 158cm or taler, and her body shape has changed a litte bit too, more "woman-like"

If you campare her with Hekexin, she's definitely not gaining weight.

nice routine =) haha this commentator keeps getting the skills wrong. he called the regular korbut a rueda and the wolf jump a bad sheep jump..

[riddler5882000]

imagine if she had a barani, arabian, or full instead of that side somi.

[nodaybuttoday01]

She needs the side somi for the sideways landing requirement for maximum bonus. I absolutely LOVE her routine now, but if she can't get her switch ring consistently, she should maybe try for a switch half or a switch full...

[siljed30492]

she actually doesn't need the side somi to fill the requirement, because the requirement says that the gymnast need to show an element done forwards (as in front areal or front somi) OR sideways (as in side somi).. so she could replace it if she wanted to since she's already doing a front somi and a front areal;)

[wilbert0belinda]

She somehow looked different

[mojochrys]

she should've won!!!she was finally able to connect the front arial to the back tucked sommi...she's just amazing!!

[czucksk84life]

i know, love her aggressive style. she's my future wife

[Smielyb2000]

I never thought that a gymnast can best Liu Xuan tumbling serious but Deng LinLin just did. The best flic flic layout ever.

[lingketon]

liu xuan's leg form on the lay out was so so, prefer sun xiaojiao, li shanshan, zhang nan, who all keep the legs closer together! but yes, deng linlin is the best!!!

[Smielyb2000]

I think it was more of the way Liu flew in the air with the layout. It was more of the way she did it then the leg form. Which is why I love Deng's so much, it has the form and it just flows in the air. Also lets not forget the thigh slaps. FIERCE!!!!!!!

[lingketon]

yeah, and the bitch knows how to land that one! :)

[uwoeric]

Incredible amplitude on the switch ring! Looks like she's near back to full strength, at least on this event.
