Samantha Peszek - Floor Exercise - 2008 Olympic Trials - Day 1

[xGymCouture]

How Sam got a higher score on day 1 than day 2 is beyond me?!

[xxLOlliPOPLUVERxx]

wow! a HUGE step on one of the passes and still a 15.650!

[alglmf1976]

her and chellsie memmel r awesome

[itsbeccaforreals]

@alglmf1976 my two favorite gymnasts of this quad for sure.

[xNeedyou1]

she is so beautiful

[gymnastagirl141009]

@dance4liberty69 if you lr talking about muscle then lol Shawn can't stick anything. Especially on vault! On floor there was a few occassions. Nothing meant bad to her.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@gymnastagirl141009 It's kind of hard to stick an Amanar -_-

[legalglitz]

I like how she is actually dancing here instead of posing...

[Stonymypony]

Wow that spin was amazing and her dance moves really go with the flow of the music!

[dance4liberty69]

is it just me or do gymnasts who are more well built tend to stick floor and beam better?

[co123445666]

its like she barley runs but yet the tumble looks so powerful and great.

[KVHolland3]

I know she was injured...but she should have been the 3rd floor person instead of Sacramone. Sacramone had built a record especially in this year that she was not consistent. They underscored Sam in this meet (well comparitivley to others since US Trials are almost .5 higher then they realistically should be). She has way more difficulty then Sacramone too...

[peaceluvcheer97]

She is extremely underrated i mean obviously shawn and nastia were amazing but shes really good to and shes also consistent i really hope she stays for 2012

[bertera1614]

i think it would have been better if she had put her double piked with full on her third tumblig pass...

[espinaca79]

Unfortunately for Sam, she lacked a style of her own and dancing to Alicia's music did not help either.

[eve9206]

yes I think Sam was underrated for too long. She has some extremely hard skills on beam and floor and all they are doing is making a big deal out of Shawn and Nastia's routines (don't get me wrong, they are the best, obviously, but in 2008 Sam was not far behind them and nobody even considered that)

[Gymnasticsbabex]

@eve9206 i do agree with you, but i think shawns landings were better. On Sams double arabian she took at huge leap foward which must have cost at least 5 tenths, and if you add 5 tenths on to her score she would've have had 16.150 :/

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@Gymnasticsbabex In the old code, I believe the leap would be .3 considering the fact that they allowed small steps and a shoulder width one would've been .3 back then.

[kskglovesschool]

@eve9206 that's so true. Sam is amazing!!

[MrJST94]

why she did not go to Beijing???

[comanecisalto1]

@MrJST94 she did, she just got injured and didnt compete

[BravesGurl1983]

@comanecisalto1

I know! It sucked that she got hurt in Beijing! If not, I wonder if she'd have led off on beam instead of Alicia? Things might have been different... oh well... lol

[chikako8395]

@MrJST94 she did

[treehugger971]

SAM ROCKS!!!!!! .........:)

[OlympicGirl11]

I think the floor music is really weid, but it suits her,

[njs311]

that was good but i dont think it was worth the score that she got

[panicatthediscoxgirl]

She's so pretty, and I love her floor music!

[artyowen92]

i love this routine and i love samantha!!

[Hackit5]

she should have scored in the low 15s. her difficulty was a 6.4 and her execution SHOULD have been around an 8.7 but of course someone gave her a 9.3

[Racerxgal13]

0:35 is supposed to happen at 0:37 she is still one of my fave gymnasts

[sqekcx]

Wow one of the highest scores I've ever seen on floor.

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

Yeah it kinda surprised me because she was a little behind the music at the end and her landing on her third pass.

[nikirififo]

On US Trials the scored are usually over, look at Shawn scoring 16.something, totally unreal.

[lilyia1]

@nikirififo Yes, I was thinking that for a long time. And this is an illusion because in the international competitions they have the real scores, Shawn in the Olimpics, ex.I really agree with you.

[moopoo66]

@nikirififo shawn had pleeentty of difficult to score a 16 double twisting double back whip to tripple twist, hard front tumbling and a full in at the end

[ttigergomez619]

@nikirififo Shawn scoring more than 16 is not unreal. she is great in floor

[KVHolland3]

@ttigergomez619 Bwahaha when she has a difficulty of 6.5 is it and with her whip over to triple twist explains it all...not to mention her leaps. USA Gymnastics at this level is almost all subjective...
