I am more of a fan of semenova, but her lines are so beautiful and she has such grace, but she always seems like she has trouble under pressure and its such a shame
Many people don't like the music and I can see why. Her leo has grown on me, but it was ugly at first. She majorly failed here but her artistry stands out in this EF. Her and Sui were the most pleasing to watch.
@abctooeasy I'm pretty addidcted to her too, and yes, she didn't have lots of falls, but she felt on very important moments, where she could've showed her potential, and her lack of fight is pretty killing.
It's so interesting that she almost ALWAYS falters on the double pike. This happened at Europeans 2008 and the Pacific Rim Championships in 2010...quite weird!
@LaVoix555 Your point is not relevant! She had perfect landing in Euro AA and at 2010 worlds she stuck her landing in podium, qualification, and team finals. She is just a nervous wreck and couldn't get it together at the end. She has a good double pike compared to many other gymnasts.
@abctooeasy well your just weird considering she either falters her double pike or sticks it....if you don't know what your talking about don't comment
@LaVoix555 Ah you are the one who do not know what you are talking about. She hits her double pike almost all the time in all of her competitive life! Your just a trash talker. So what if she didn't hit her double pike here? You have no point, it's truly ridiculous.
@abctooeasy do you want me to name all the competitions where she blew her double pike? I was just saying a comment about it, if you didn't know she actually has an injury to her knees (i do my research) and I don't trash talk, if you don't know me, then get a life! I have my point, you just don't get anything
@LaVoix555 I don't want to know a pathetic person like you. I am a fan and know almost everything about her! She hits her double pike more than she falters it. Why do you even bother trying to reply back? I am absolutely 100% right that she rarely screws up her double pike. Did you want me to name all the competition where she hit her double pike? Her Knee injury was after this year's WC. It's amusing that your getting angry over this, hahahaha. I'm not even mad LOL, but you seem to be!
@LaVoix555 "OMG I don't want to know a bitch like you either! I laugh at your comments...so get a life!" My point has just been proven that you are the one that needs to get a life. Why so serious? Anyways this was a good routine if she had hit she would have placed in the top 3. She is a wonderful gymnasts, truly one of a kind.
I really like how she does the double turn w/ leg at horizontal. It's a stock skill at this point, but she has refreshing execution b/c of how quickly and "lightly" she spins. Compared to her, most other gymnasts' L-turn spins look slow and laborious - that skill can be just as much of a chore to watch as it apparently is to perform.
@svetaswan It's actually a double spin with leg in back altitude, Ksenia Semenova does it too. It's more difficult than with leg at horizontal though, which makes it even more impressive. It's got a D rating, and is definitely not a stock skill, she must have spent hours and hours at the barre to learn it.
Sad, but I'm glad to see her have some success in Rotterdam. She at least have one gold medal in TF and help Russia make history by winning their first team medal at worlds.
I was so happy when she won floor in 2011 :)

The music just makes people feel sad, especially when such an elegant gymnast fell when the music ended. It just makes me feel mad.

That's sad :( Poor thing. The fall on the double-pike dismount looks exactly like Anna Pavlova's in the 2008 FX EF.

@bernardmvella It's not. Afanasyeva does both the double L and the Semenova.
