GOLD FOR SHE !

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

It's a good routine, but it's too robotic. Too many starts and stops. It's just move after move which is what I expect from the Chinese. No fluidity. Ana Porgras is much too beautiful to lose to this.

@ShawnVikaKomova2012

She fell.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@FlicTuckFull I know, still she should've won =D

[FlicTuckFull]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012

:P

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@FlicTuckFull Haha, well I know a fall should never win, (still love Ferrari though), but Ana's routine is just so much prettier than pause after pause.

probably her best ever beam routine! it was great! she did deserve the gold!

[Vermontist]

Each trick was performed brilliantly. The routine did have many wavers and was also characterized by paused betweeen each move, thus greatly diminishing the flow of the routine. This is consistent with what the COP rewards, and so she won. Again, the elements, especially the flipping ones, were superb.

Deng Linlin is one of my favourite Chinese gymnasts. :) Lovely performance

[babylishee]

I LOVE THE TUMBLING HEIGHT vs PHYSICAL HEIGHT CONTRAST :-)

3:07 - so cute

[Richifaye]

However, she failed the linkage of D+C+D 0.2 and C+D .01, so she just performed 6.4 on EF.

Any way, she was still amazing and truly deserved the Gold.

[Richifaye]

Her movements elements are as below:

A, D, B+B+E, A, E, D+C+D, C+D, A+A, D, B+B+E

valid Linkage bonus:

B+B+E = 0.2

D+C+D = 0.2

C+D = 0.1

B+B+E = 0.1

as per new code, total capable difficulty score = 6.70

Back to previous code from 2005 -2008, her routine deserves the difficulty score of 7.30

[Richifaye]

sorry, her dismount B+B+E = 0.2 bonus, not 0.1, mistake I just made.

not the tumbling

but still that doesn't mean she's got the grace

[richiefaye]

She deserved the Gold, truely deserved.

[giocoso]

*sigh* no good beam routines. I miss the golden age of gymnastics.. where are the good skills all of the things are the same!

[cronopio131]

[sqekcx]

she's got the grace? this is one of the most boring beam performance ever in gymnastic history

[minwinzer]
