WC Montpellier 2011 - Daria KONDAKOVA (RUS), Qualifications Ribbon

[dhievah]

I agree with Butonboy. When you watch these videos- don't watch Kondakova, then Kaneava. Watch Kondakova then watch Miteva. Miteva is much more graceful, precise and elegant. Kondakova is more explosive and full of theatrics and tricks but not graceful, Kondakova is an entertainer. Its like the difference between street dancing and ballet. I would choose Miteve--despite the point system

[mariaginasticaritmic]

what is the name of the song ?

[23sagitarious]

the song? its name´s tico tico

[nechta86]

like alexandra orlando commeneted: "If Kondakova wants to be Kanaeva she really needs to watch out every movement and be precise in execution". I wish Dasha will be more stable next year because I want to see her and Kanaeva at Olympics.

[Sajtosphil]

omg terrible music...

[iClaudia001]

i really dont get how people are so into comparing kondakova to kanaeva. they're both amazing gymnasts but with different styles. kanaeva is more classical and conservative while kondakova is more modern and likes to use more thematic and cultural music. if you compare technique, they're both quite similar and honestly, why cant people love them both?

[ivorystone5]

I like Kondakova. In many aspects I prefer her to Kanaeva, but Kondakova's feet are not great. Her releve is not pretty and the feet are not. As a ballet dancer I always watch the feet (arch, releve hight, etc.) , this is what we do and hers... no, not pretty. People, just watch her routine again and watch let's say Maximenko and Kanaeva and you will see

[buntonboy]

@ivorystone5 of course kondakova is carismatic and joyful but she has a bad tecnique she isn't good at pivots either at leaps, balanes and flexibilities she's so common in some way but her joyful character makes her a lovely rg... besides this she's doesn't show something more artistic in her routines... kanaeva, miteva, charkashina, staniouta and maksimenko are a lot more better than her being honest, they all have mistakes but at least are good in 2 or 3 areas

[OWalexutza97]

Daria Kondakova is the most expressive gymnast, and i think that that matter more than a good exercise.By the way she was the best.Do you know what mean 0.050 points?...Daria Kondakova won the gold in my heart.

[nechta86]

@OWalexutza97 she had horrible mistake with the ball, she fell down from pivot, and it was just too obvious. Even though Kanaeva wasn't perfect either she didn't have obvious mistakes like dasha had. Daria had all chances to win Zhenya but lost it again.

[OWalexutza97]

@nechta86 watch better at Zhenya and you will se the same mistake in AA group.

[nechta86]

@OWalexutza97 i watched it, and kanaeva had mistakes too i saw them, but she didn't fall "SO HARD" from pivot. sorry for dasha but it was too LOUD mistake.

[buntonboy]

@nechta86 never never she hasn't been as good as Zhenya and never will be... she's on top position because of Vinner money all the other girls from belarus, ukraine, bulgaria are better than her

[nechta86]

@buntonboy she wasn't better than Zhenya but please be realistic: her technical skills above the rest of girls. And viner money has nothing to do with that, where does everyine get this ridiculous though from? Kondakova is lack in precision because of the pace of her routines - they are too fast sometimes. ukranian maximenko needs to do something with her clubs cuz it's boring; the same wave movements during all routines and her ball as well.

[buntonboy]

@nechta86 of course not, Godunko was as fast as she a almost never had that bad tecnique of apparatus, and she do not have superior tecniques compared with the other girls, even the scores of the russian girls are a lot overscored even zhenya scores, if kondakova gets a 29 is fair kanaeva get a 29.5 but none of the deserve that kind of scores, or being this way the other girls should get higher scores to, one thing is you like it a lot this way but the truth is tha this is right

[nechta86]

@buntonboy Godunko was hopping practically at each element which is penalized. I'm not going to discuss overscored or underscored stuff, I don't know their cards with set of elements they perform. You are definetely subjective in your judging so it doesn't make sence. are you judge? i mean, i wouldn't acceprt any talk about scores only if doesn't come from qualified judge of RG.

[nechta86]

@OWalexutza97 and also she had knot in ribbon in AA i mean.

[OWalexutza97]

@nechta86 did you think that 50 judges didn`t saw a knot?i watched her routine milion times(AA group) and i didn`t saw a knot.Look better.

[SolGr99]

GOLD.

[antbant07]

I really don't understand why she doesn't beat Kaneva. I always enjoy Kondakova's routines more!!!

[buntonboy]

@antbant07 enjoys in something very different from quality ....

[fabio199312]

Simply Awesomeeee *.* ------ What is the of the soundtrack/ theme that she used ??:)) tyyy for the videooo

[xSleepingAwakex]

@fabio199312 it's on yt, search ''kondakova ribbon music 2011'' ;)

[megustalamusica93]

THAT'S GREAT!  Kondakova deserve the gold in ribbon al least...

[desamo]

I love this exercise and I hope that she wins the final!!!! DAVAI DAVAI!!!!!

[MinnieLittleDreamer]

IMO a green or blue or even yellow ribbon will be better, but I prefer this one to the rainbow one.. >.<

[itsonlykat]

Thank you! nice routine from Kondakova! :D

[haselkuss]

that´s dynamic!!!!

[15giada]

Why red ribbon? o_O

[xxJodelleFerlandxx]

@15giada Maybe her rainbow one got torn or something, and the red is her extra?

[Setembrunev]

@xxJodelleFerlandxx She was already using this red ribbon at training. Imo it´s better for this routine, you can see the patterns better.

[GravityPowerful]

@15giada she is communist))))

[MarchingBalletDancer]

@GravityPowerful What the hell does that mean?! Russia hasn't been communist since 1991!

[15giada]
