Ivana Hong : 2009 Visa Championships : Day 2.

[theakikigirl123]

she has improved greatly!

[FsgRocks]

Omg do you see her toe point? Her ankles are so flexible!

[HelleClausen1]

When is her next competition?! I got sad when I saw that she wasn't on the start list for the covergirl classics... :(

[Stonymypony]

Why does she separate her legs when she is winding up for the dismount? Sorry I don't know much about gymnastics

[cwgcGymnast]

@Stonymypony ...ypu are allowed too :) you can either keep your legs together or apart :)

[popgirl959]

what is the floor music?

[JMB545]

I love this floor better than her old one, but i love her old rountine better than this one

[luv4cascy]

her floor exercise wasnt all that good....

[AwesomeNiks]

Absolutely stunning! She'll definitely go far!

[JRecord111]

hey i'm in this video...in the crowd :)

[thegymnasticsgirl200]

@JRecord111 thats so kool!!!!!!

[cronopio131]

I don't like her floor routine. I mean, the music is just so beautiful, it really touchs you, and Ivana can't perform with it properly. I hate that.

[thegymnasticsgirl200]

@cronopio131 Rong rong RONG!!!

[christianjanrubrico]

ivana has improved! yehoooo! keep et up ivana!

[thegymnasticsgirl200]

@christianjanrubrico you are right!

[MsNoelle555]

@shegirl13 um... did you really just say that?

[shegirl13]

sorry I forgot Nastia Liukin is from Russia.MsNoelle555 I said I thought she was really good.Whats ur prob?I wasn`t being mean I was jus wondering

[MsNoelle555]

you're right. ivana is great, i agree, though not my favorite gymnast. im just wondering what exactly it means to "look american"?

[shegirl13]

I guess I shouldn`t have said that since Americans come from all different backgrounds.sorry :(

[MsNoelle555]

it's okay. :) sorry for the snippy first comment. that was mean of me.

[kiolkool]

are u joking?

[level7gymnastics]

Look shes chinease and a little vietnesse and yea she can represetn America... it doesnt matter... we arent racist and stuff and hey look at Nastia Luiken... she came to America when she was 4-5 years old and now shes an olympian gymnast.... so YES it doesnt matter where u r from... BUT IF U ARE A GYMNAST THAT DOES REALLY WELL IN AMERICA U WILL GET REWARDED!

[shegirl13]

dude I am sorry.I forgot.I will just delete k?I am not racist and was jus wondering

[jacoblack02]

can somebody tell me who are the team that is going to compete at london please?

[angua7]

They won't announce that til mid 2012!

[jacoblack02]

no, but i meant worlds :)

[jacoblack02]

is she going to compete in worlds?

[BretagneShrew]

yes

[Kslim07]

ivana is doing incredible now that shes a woga. but the only thing i dont like, is that all three, nastia, rebecca and ivana have almost the same beam routines.

[thegymnasticsgirl200]

@Kslim07 well atleast its a good beam routeen!

[GosfordAbercrombie]

this girl has the makings of a champion gymnast! she needs to embrace that! i see a lot of romanian circa early 1990s in her form!!!!

[NurdyRhythm]

Ivana is so my fave. I have a newfound respect for Bridget, but if Ivana smoothes out her rough spots, she's could be one of those gymnasts who just takes everything to a whole other level in her routines. Like Nastia, she has a grace and form on the apparatuses I don't think anyone at this competition even touched.

[Daimond19961]

Do they work on her tkachev?

[FLACSC74]

She does the most beautiful Onodi I have ever seen on beam

[allimoballi]

which skill is the onodi?

[FLACSC74]

Hi...its at 1:37

[10024to75010]

ivana definitely made the right choice by going to woga >> there's added polish in what she does now, compared to her routines from GAGE. i hope she'll re-add her double front to fx!!

[mandmgymnast3]

i was really impressed with ivana during visas. i believe she needs to work on her dismount on bars and h itting handstands but otherwise i thought she did great.

[NlovewithNaley]

you know to be honest i really thought Ivana should have won i mean she hit 8 for 8 bridget didnt. i mean she had one great floor excersise that just catapolted her up but ivana really was the best.. yes i mean on UB a little bit of problems on release skills doesnt get a bunch of hight but every thing else was great

[tammy842]

Tim says her lack of amplitude on bars was a .3 deduction. And her landings on floor were a little out of control. But she has polish like Nastia, really pretty to watch. I'm sure she'll be totally kickass at Worlds. There is nothing wrong with being second.

[carriemydear]

Agreeeed.

If they weren't counting the step on floor, Ivana would have won.

The step neeeds to come back!

[teekrew]

@NlovewithNaley well anyone can hit 8 for 8 but if you don't have the start values then it doesn't matter. like nastia liukin fell in the olympic team prelims on bars and shawn johnson hit/stuck her dismount and nastia made it into the final because she has a point on shawn's routine

[humbersidehusky]

Switching gyms has been good for her. New coach+ extra year of experience= Ivana, a force to be reckoned with

[lingketon]

can't see the vault...

[BellaLiukin]

yeah i know it sucks...sorry about that...i have no clue why it got stuck. :(
