Sandra Izbasa (ROU) - 2009 Euros EF FX

[NastiaFanNumba1]

the judges were on some crack...smh

[lenr112]

I don't get this at all the choreography and execution looks almost beastly to me and she should be shot for doing a piked full in then a tucked full in , how imaginative !

[vcrisfi]

It's too bad she couldn't pull the triple around, because the rest of the routine was just amazing.

[sarcev82]

beautfull polish song michal lorenc- taniec eleny... look "300 mil" and "wyjazd z Polski..." Michal Lorenc... The best in the world!

[KVHolland3]

She my's well just do a Full-In Layout she's so un piked on the full-in.

[sqekcx]

now that I watch this routine again, I think she was perfectly suited to the new code. She could stick tumbles so easily! What a shame she got injured

[ChainChomp2]

You know what's funny, in an interview (that you can find here on YouTube) she said she's happy she only has four diagonals (tumbling passes) as opposed to five.

Before the 2009 Worlds she broke her foot but I haven't heard anything about her since...

[boggydance]

@ChainChomp2

she had her achiles tendon ruptured. she is recuperating at the moment. she will do beam at the romanian internationals this wekend but outside the competition. i think they try slowly to bring her back for the worlds in the fall

[MRdavenport2010]

the judges are a HOT MESS!!

[Shallikoops]

Sometimes just hate judges!!!!!

[Natalie9911]

Why do gymnasts bodies change ?

[jiojiosinha485]

i adore the music of his body free, and I also love the choreography

[jiojiosinha485]

sandra izbasa is a my favorite gymnastics!shes realy cool and a very good in gymnastic

[akirahokuto]

i'm in love with her...BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[todik]

she was better oh my god i hate this rules of gymnastics look she was better than anyone anyway i sanda you are the best on floor and no one will change that

[hardstylegymnast]

fuck the new rule! tumbling is gymnastics! 4 passes...... stupid....... argh...... ;(

[ChainChomp2]

No! This sport is called ARTISTIC Gymnastics for a reason! I love gymnasts like Shawn Johnson and Beth Tweddle, but I prefer watching gymnasts like Ksenia Semenova, Anna Pavlova, and Nastia Liukin because they have the classic gymnastics and artistry that this sport has been missing since the absurd start values from 5 tumbling passes in zero artistry floor and beam performances with less than 2 seconds of choreography!

[tomsk14]

it isnt though...... tumbling is tumbling...... gymnastics is tumbling and dance (allegedly)

[jamesbug2002]

sandra had 5 passes at beijing, right? I guess she down graded her 2009 routine..

[ThePenguin888]

An update to the Code of Points in early 2009 created a rule in which a gymnast can no longer have more than 4 tumbling passes; so she can't compete 5 passes anymore.

[jamesbug2002]

cool! so it is down to 4 tumbling passes..Passes that should show grace and difficulty..and I hope that the judges will put some weight on the dance moves more!

[sqlcomp]

She was robbed!

[evalasvegas1216]

the leo is really cute

[jamesbug2002]

yes it is cute..I also love the leo of Produnova when she competed at the Universiad Games where she wore the green stripes and then white leo...she looked nice there too! The one where she did a double front vault that she landed cleanly.

[yngtxtopbear]

God, the announcers are worse than the American announcers. They wont SHUT UP!

[luvs2flip209]

If this was 7th place, wow! She did awesome!

[fangym02]

Ridiculous judging!!!!!!!

[pinkandgirly1992]

I love her new hair

[dAnThEmAn178987]

okay that triple was basically all the way around... ughhh

[dAnThEmAn178987]

i love sandra, she is still my alltime favorite floor worker, she has had so many different tumbling passes that she can pick from and she is just overall consistent and my favoriteeeeee!!!!!! too ad the judges had sticks up their asses... yeah it was short but oh welll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jovani2293]

I'm sorry to say this but is it just me or has she gain some weight.

[Gio89MI]

i agree with u...in beijing her body was diffrent

[willsbob123]

Yes, she has. She's probably not working the same hours now :S

[sus611611]

in beijing she have 5 passes?

[GymnasticsFriend]

Yeah. That's not allowed anymore. All my friends told me bout it.

[potassiumiodideki]

Haha, you can, they just won't all count! :P

[Giulyx16]

Yes!!

[tamy96d]

nooooooooo!!!!!! questa è la vera vincitrice!!!!brava!!!!!fantas­tica!!!

[lashindy]

She deserved more and more. I'm Italian but Sandra had to win!!!!

[mostlyanthony]

One word...ROBBED!

[gymgirl34]

she deserves the gold medal !

[Sergiul19]

If she would have landed well the triple twist,which would have been the note?

[sqekcx]

I don't know why they don't credit her triple! Her triple has always been more or less the same, especially her beam one, and they always credit her.

[silivas4ever]

Thanks for posting! Too harsh! Yes she underrotated a bit but it was a triple...They took a whole point for a few degrees...

[gymfan2005]

i dnt no wat 2 say..semenova medals bt she didnt..im glad she used this music...but she needs to change heaps in it if she wants to medal!!! where is the third pass she use at the olympics..that was superb..its bad naw!

[lepetitpoulet]

hello, new code of points... maximum 4 tumbling passes, only top 8 skills count, 5 max must can be acro and 3 min have to be dance elements

[ClauRomanul]

ohh i c, so only 4?? but twedle did 3...i thought that was changed..still kinda confused!!

[nikirififo]

The limit is 4, so the gymnast doesn't have to do 4 passes, she can do 3, even 2 if she wants

[gymfan2005]

aha, i c so thats y she changed her routine so much, so no1 is doin more than 4 passes.....interesting..it seems like the old times (2004)

[lepetitpoulet]

actually, she's one of the rare gymnasts who has barely changed her routine at all, she's been doing those exact same three passes since 2006. Only last year she added a bwd double twist side pass. I like routines with 3 passes better, but i guess setting the maximum at 4 passes was a good thing in any case.

[nikirififo]

Yeah, I wish Nastia did 3 passes too, her dance in 2005 was gourgeous!

[nikirififo]

Yes, thank God something good in this no-limit-Code

[mo0rrisz]

this was so unfair.. for me she did complete the triple but what is done is done... did she qualified top?

[gymfan2005]

no i thnk she qualified 2nd!

[mo0rrisz]

i dont understand why she didn't perform her new routine

[gingerkittens]

ik u cant really see the last pass and how she lands

[mrparts]

lost due to a technicality. Other than this, she would have won over Beth.

[FireDannyAinge]

She lost on more then a technicality. She lost credit on the triple twist and only got credit for a 2.5 which she already had in the routine so she lost .5

[DYWK]

I think if she didn't flounder a bit, she might have been able to pass the triple off...

[DYWK]

I am glad she went back to this music though... until she choose something better than what she used at Jesolo

[glenncoco237]

haha

[dianajc]

I'm confused since the first 2 1/2 was in combo shouldn't the last pass counted as a regular 2 1/2 and she just get the start value lowered?

[ThePenguin888]

A 2-1/2 twist is a 2-1/2 twist. Combo's aren't recognized as single elements in the COP, so the first 2-1/2 was counted as a D, and her triple attempt was downgraded to a 2-1/2, so it was given a 0 (and she had to count an A) and she lost 0.5CR for the dismount.

[pong0622]

haha..... so if she did double pike. she would have been won

[lepetitpoulet]

no look at beth's score. she would have had silver

[mo0rrisz]

yes... with any other tumbling pass she would have won

[ThePenguin888]

She would have gotten silver with, say a double tuck/pike finish.

[mo0rrisz]

but i dont understand why beth tweddle with just 3 tumbling passes won having all the other 7 competitors doing 4 tumbles.. why is that?

[ThePenguin888]

She has more difficulty packed into 3 passes than most do with four. Comparing Tweddle and Izbasa.

Tweddle = 2.5

A+C+A+A+E (0.2CV)

A+A+F

A+A+D+C (0.2CV)

Izbasa = 2.4

A+A+E

A+A+E

A+A+D+C (0.2CV)

A+A+E

[produnov]

Beautiful! I wish she had completed this triple full!

[mfinger]

this is why the WAG code must being changing every 2 years since the non-10.0 era

[isa1285]

I can't see her last pass.... the idea of taking moving air shots in middle of tumbling passes is awful you cannot appreciate anything!

Did she really did deserve the deduction of downgrading the triple to a 2 1/2?

[Luizgmv]

People, read the description: she got a low score because her last pass was disconsidered. As a consequence, she lost a full point in her difficulty score.

For me the judges were a litlle bit harsh on her. I'd have given credit for her triple.

[KseniaSemenovaFan]

she should win!!! She was sooo good and she jsut earn 13.900!!!!!That´s so unfair!!!!

But she is OLYMIC CHAMPION 2008 and European Champion 2008!!!! And why wasn´t Sandra in the AA final? She was 8th in Olympia!!!

[GymCampos27]

great routine despite the mistake at the end which caused her a lot, this was better then Tweedle and Ferrari IMO.

[ryzardini]

13.900??? oO

our ...

she deserved more!

[ItsNastiaFan101]

not really, read the description

[ryzardini]

oh yes ... she did the two 2-1/2

[mostlyanthony]

She probably would have gotten more if she was either Svetlana Khorkina or an Italian.

[Giulyx16]

Idiot.....

[pong0622]

yes... you are

[Giulyx16]

I didn't said idiot to Sandra.....
