Rebecca Bross 2009 Cover Girl US Classic UB

[1bravenewworld]

Liukin is a great spotter ^_^

[musikelxx]

it looks like she's moving in fast motion

[loveetwilight69]

i'm somewhere in the crowd in the background!(: i was sitting closest to bars

[StephenMichaelHewitt]

I admit that I'm not exactly a Rebecca Bross fan but I appreciate the way she attacks her routines and really goes for it.

[illninodude987]

i think the pin stabbed her in the back

[kaiwmi2]

its called bowlegged, not knock-kneed

[theghastlypirate]

@kaiwmi2 No, she is knock-kneed, not bow-legged. They are different. Her knees go in (knock-kneed), not out (bow-legged).

[randomness132]

she had a bad ankle injury

[TheSpiceGals]

did u see her in the visa champinships

[hailbail]

why didnt she do a dismount??????????????

[IzzyR12]

thats what i was wondering to, the spokesperson said something about her dismount but i didn't understand what he was talking about her dismount

[boytoyville]

She was injured so they planned on her not landing on her feet on the dismount and just doing a "timer" layout.

[monkeymandude1]

She is one beautiful girl i have a crush on her =P nothings stalker like and im 15 so yeah....

[KenzieDawne]

He is such a good coach!

He coached me at a camp and I loved him!

He cares about his team unlike some elite coaches!

Go WOGA!

[Nanenarave2005]

why is she so fragile...i hope nastionals is going to be her time to shine.

[theghastlypirate]

What was with her dismount?! Has she been having trouble with it?

[gymnast7225]

No, she was injured.

[jdolio82]

maybe you should listen to the commentary first before asking this question.

[theghastlypirate]

Wow... someone is in a bad mood. Maybe my hearing is really bad and therefore I could hear what they were saying... ever think of that?

[Gr33nkiwi]

She rolled her ankle a couple days before competition. That's why she only competed bars. She also broke her foot earlier this year.

[theghastlypirate]

I knew she had injuried herself earlier that year... thanks for the information.

[gymfan06]

LOVE her aggressive style!!!

[runswimchick10]

that dismount was scary

[elong10]

gymnasts land like that quite a bit in practice (although not with pinned on numbers lol)

[danielcnsilva]

Valeri Liukin is looking a little bit older...

[Vermontist]

He looks GREAT.

[danielcnsilva]

If you check out some videos from 2006, 2005 and 2000 (he appears in a fall of Vanessa Atler), he looked younger.

[suegirl145]

I don't like the look of her feet and toes, but she's a pretty athelete.

[kplata]

She points her toes and holds her legs together the same way Semenova does. It's not my favorite look.

[iAngelaKara]

ooh I know what you mean she sickles her feet

[zhujp98]

it kills me.m i luv evry thing about her except her toes. a girl at my ym does it. do they deduct 4 tht?g

[iAngelaKara]

hmm I don't think its a deduction but shes more likely to have leg separations because as you can see her ankles aren't even touching most of the time. It was probably something she did as a kid and and it was never corrected by a coach so now she can't break the habit

[flip4gym13]

some peoples feet don't even go that way- or it just doesn't come naturally

[babigymnast13]

alot of gymnasts toe point is like that because of the way they stretch their toes.

ive been to a meet where woga has competed and all the girls on the team had that same thing with their feet

[havarahel]

i love this. :)

[ItsNastiaFan101]

It's because she has knock knees, her legs don't touch because her knees are like turned out. She has to turn her toes in order for them to touch so she doesn't get deducted for leg seps

[QueenieQue]

@kplata Well, it's not really her fault. She is clearly knock-kneed. However, you're absolutely right in that it looks ugly. She has great skills and clean pirouetting, but the awful leg line almost ruins it for me.

[iluvsummer11]

did she fall on that dismount on purpose, no to offend anyone but was just wondering

[gymnast7225]

Yeah, her ankle is injured and they didn't want it to be anymore messed up.

[iluvsummer11]

why is the sound so ahead of the video?

[gymnast7225]

I have no idea, and I'm terribly sorry about that. When I was editing it, it was fine. :/

[technophobe02]

great routine! but she has got those bent knees like nastia when passing the low bar :|

[CLeighS459]

im sooo glad shes back!!

[Megzer1992]

Was a great routine besides the dismount. Poor rebecca, she is forever plagued by injuries!
