Can anyone post a link to her silver-winning vault in the Beijing Olympics? I can't find it anywhere!! Good ol' NBC doesn't have it, as it's Germany and only a silver!(Grrr.....)
Apparently NBC has made sure that there are no videos posted from the their coverage of the Beijing Games on Youtube. Sucks. They still have videos posted on the NBC Olympics website though. They have the full event finals.
That first vault deserved to win: is that a handspring front rudi? Its a handspring front one and a half twists isnt it? I know its a very difficult vault, because it has a 6.3 tariff. I know she cocked up her second one, but her first one was just so much better and more difficult than everybody elses.
Anyway, I dont believe she will win an olympic medal with a vault like that, they will be many other good vaulters who won't let her win with this ; but she is still great ...
yeah, just like Cheng Fei won an Olympic medal with a fall. I heard a rumor a while back that they would be adjusting the COP after the 2008 games so that the A score won't weigh so heavily. I really hope so. It's destroyed the sport in my opinion.
I don't like the new system, now you can win with falls

Her first vault is named after her, and it's a handspring 1.5 twist. The second is a half on full twist off.

The second vault is actually a tsuk 1 and 1/2 so there is a half twist on and 1.5 off.

And yet she did win a medal! You're right, she couldn't have won with a vault like her second one here, but still! Amazing!
