Nastia Liukin 2008 US Olympic Trials Day 1 UB

I dont understand where all her difficulty score comes from ... if you compare her routine to He Kexin or Beth Tweddle it seems pretty lame.. although she is the cleanest

[ostentatiousvirtue]

I know what you're talking about - it doesnt seem to have much difficulty but she gains her start avlue through linkages and bonus values, like when she does the one and a half turn contected with the gieger or the tchatchev to pac salto, and she does hav the most turns and piroettes.

Basically she has the best choreography!

She's perfect on the bar. Other gymnasts are good. But no-one has the same flare as Nastia.

@dudefromskye it's mostly about her connection bonus
