[chachakid]

This is the 2009 Australian Nationals in Perth and Mary Anne is a senior international elite

thats odd!! there must be some decent explanation :P

she did a swinging prep for shoot over to handstand.....maybe the elbow is the problem here!!

[TheIcegymnast1]

that was more than odd it wasa wired

[Dunntosh]

It was... weird.

But I LOVED the Shushunova!

Mez has had an elbow injury as well. She was recovering from a virus prior to event and had very limited training.

The first time she'd done that dismount since all of that was in warm-ups on the first day of nationals.

I still have high hopes for Mary-Anne, and I was super excited just to see her competing. I thought her bodyline looked way better than expected on this event and I hope she can make the CWG team next year. Do we know what floor skills she is up to? and VT?

chachakid she is injured therefore u it isnt odd she is sparing her foot... lke chelssie memmel did only bars in olympics.. she misses out certain requirements to look after her ankle to recovet faster

[chachakid]

I can understand not doing a mount but (mind you i'm not a gymnast so i don't know how it feels) why wouldn't she do a transfer from high bar to low bar? - i thought the dismount would hurt her feet more than that?

[cwgcGymnast]

yh.. u lose marks for not dismounting so she did that to spare a bit of painn.. but i dnt no why she didnt do a bar change maybe because the one she does eitehr isint in the code anymore or she cant do it withug stopping the floor in the move after therefore shes missed it out.. its only a small penilty x

[deathblessme]

yeah, i think she might hit it on the floor or not that confident and maybe falls alot on it and just wants to rest her ankle but still wants to get a competition

[LiveBreatheLoveGym]

hmmm that is odd. she acted like she was almost just doing a timer for her release to the low bar. maybe she's got a mental block right now?

[cwgcGymnast]

injury.. if ger ryt foot/ankle look closey
