2009 Gymnastics WTC - Floor Finals- Lauren Mitchell (AUS)

[AshleighJaydeFleming]

She used to compete a piked Arabian, but that was before her feet injuries

If she could do a quad Cossack turn could it be named after her even though it has a name?

[markoparko]

That's how you do it, bitch!

[Gr33nkiwi]

She has already started the whip into arabian double front. If she puts in her punch stag she'll gain 0.2 up, (if she doesn't punch stag then 0.1) I don't think there is reason for her to put in a punch full after the 5/2. I enjoy the punch layout into arabesque, plus I think it would be much messier for her to do a full. She doesn't need the 'C," so she'll only gain 0.1, but she'll lose it in execution.

free you add a bit of everything

[Gymforlife123]

I mean that's what gym is all about you add a bit of

[Gymforlife123]

well that's what gymnastics is all about you afd

[msms68]

ewwww just terrible this is gymnastics not a hip hop video and beth tweedle has gross teeth

[TwisterFlipp95]

2010 world floor champ [:

This floor routine, in my opinion, was actually better then the one that won her gold in Rotterdam; strange.

[wildstring211]

@TwisterFlipp95 well i think it was cuz in the golden routine she did a triple turl which got her the difficulty

[AsksOneThing]

As a musician, I appreciate her timing on and after the first pass. The landing, the jump and the two arm movements fell right where they should have with the music.

[artyowen92]

HATE her music and dance elements.

[96horseluvr]

she deserved the gold. her tumbling and choreography were way more unique than beth's

[jojo1802]

What would her D score be if she upgraded that third pass to a 2.5 front layout full??

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@jojo1802 Only .1 higher. Not sure what her difficulty is here. I think it's smarter not to risk it. People tend to go out of bonds or take a couple of steps with the front full.

[ChainChomp2]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 Actually 0.2 because she gets an extra 0.1 connection bonus for combining a C and D element as opposed to B and D. Probably in the future it might not be overly hopeful to expect her to do a double layout or double piked arabian again as well as upgrading to a front full, along with the quadruple wolf turn that Peggy says Lauren wants to do in 2012.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@ChainChomp2 Yes that would be cool the wolf. I meant the front full is only .1 more than the front layout. I know the connection bonus, but I was referring to the second tumble without the first.

[beardown3232]

love the music

[beardown3232]

richiefaye your rong shes awsome so shut your shit face

[speedofpee]

i'm beginning to suspect that rebecca bross is an alien and not of this planet. 3:19 confirms it in my mind. they both speak english, stick around and chat. damn.

[TwisterFlipp95]

good to see australians rising!

[Viebcbg]

she deserved a GOLD metal! love you laurennn!

[edtskyline]

SHE WON THIS COMPETITION!!!!!!! not Elizabeth Tweeddle.

[Gymbit]

This is one of my favourite routines of the 2009 World Championships. I wish Mitchell had won the gold medal, but she started 0.3 behind Tweddle.

[shawnjackson97]

yup i know for me she had to take the gold medal! though beth's routine was very great as well!

[Griddster22]

I love this routine. Lauren is so amazing!

[96horseluvr]

when they're in the replay, wuts with the person talking in the backround?

[sideshowdee]

because shes a commentator, shes explaining to the audience what is happening ( this is big so lots of people would've been watching who knew nothing about gymnastics)

[lilmisslollyboo]

@96horseluvr that's kelly hackman (a gymnast from the 2000 Olympics) she was announcing at the actual arena so people watching were listening to her a the commentary you hear on here is only heard on tv :)

[richiefaye]

She was robbed,

[13shifter]

yah she really was. no offence to Beth but i though she had better exicution and better dance. she just might have needed to turn the front layout to a front full

[AsksOneThing]

@13shifter I would have liked to see this routine win over Tweddle's but I don't think it was a clear case of "wuzrobbed." Lauren beat Beth by two tenths on the execution score but Beth had three tenths on her in the difficulty score, so that was the difference.

[artyowen92]

@richiefaye I dont think so,... her dance is so typical and end of the day, difficulty not as high as beths. I think beth more than deserved her title, and the scores show that.

[musiclover2990]

LOVE THIS GIRL!

[SpaztasticalJoe121]

She's my favorite! She stomps all over Rebecca Bross anyday!

[sus611611]

awsome routine, very original choreography :P

[chitownslygirl]

This choreography is dope!

[dulux9]

cautivadora actuacion, una rutina moderna genial!
