does anyone know the score?

[thejasminetan]

@kmjys97 15.725

[kmjys97]

@thejasminetan thanks!

[fencersdream]

since she's been doing the same routine for years means she's had lots of time to perfect it and thats why she gets those high scores

[96horseluvr]

i wish she had changed her routine. this routine got really boring to watch cause i always knew what was coming

[brycehelmer]

She the first gymnast i ever saw do a hindorf. Everyone else is doing full turns and getting a connection bonus. I wish more gymnast would do moves like the def and the gaylord. But now all you see is straddled jagers and geingers and tkachevs. And the most you see is full turns and a connection bouns.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

Haha, she said that was her last thing she would ever do in gymnastics. Where are you now Chellsie?

[jerseyguy41ife]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 competing now you bitch

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@jerseyguy41ife That's my whole point. How am I a bitch?

[tumbletumbletumble01]

Such power

[garyj79]

This routine is far from 'basic' yet lacks something compared to some others.....hmmmm theres something missing ! toes? the whole 'look' whilst swinging I dont know !?!

[mortella23]

@garyj79 this routine has a 6.7 start value I beleive, So it's not basic.

[garyj79]

@mortella23 - I know, I said 'far from basic' , I still believe she's a bit boring to watch on the bars as she lacks the exciting swing of some of the others.

[mortella23]

@garyj79 Well her release combinations are difficult. She has about 4 in here

[garyj79]

@mortella23 - yeh, I wasnt arguing that her routine didnt include difficulty, just that personally FOR ME, she isnt very exciting to watch up there BUT then im not a fan of her style of gymnastics........if you can call it 'style', im sure plenty of others disagree with that which is fine!

[mortella23]

@garyj79 yah I get it she has no special flare to her gymnastics like nastia, or shawn, or some of the chinese gymnasts.

[garyj79]

@mortella23 - we agree on that my American friend, I also note some guys here stating she hasnt changed much in her bars routines from 2003.....which is true I think, cert the Hindorff to immediate pak etc etc, and several other skills like the Jam to double front dismount?

[fishdude77]

@13shifter he meant that she been doing the most of those skills in that order for a while. she really hasnt changed or added much in the last few years.

[Missnewyork28]

It's really a dynamic and well executed routine ! I loooooooove

[danielcnsilva]

Was it me or I saw Valeri Liukin on the podium with her? o.Õ

[TwisterFlipp95]

@danielcnsilva

In some circumstances three can only be 2 coaches out on the floor with a team, Valeri was also spotting Shawn Johnson in the qualifying. Andy Memmel and Ling Chow [whatever Shawn's coaches name is] were sitting in the stands, as you can see.

[rgtzgmnst]

@TwisterFlipp95 yep exactly ;)

[fishdude77]

@danielcnsilva he spotted bars for the team during finals.

[alexzjay]

I do love her Hindorf :D

[xTorresGirlx]

Beautiful, but I did see she didn't hit her handstands perfectly a couple of times.
