Wow, what an absolutely gorgeous routine! AND it looks like she might have washed and blow dried her hair! Her bangs look light and fluffy! I'm not trying to be mean - I think she looks great.
Beautiful as always and it seems like she has more endurance but does she ever complete that memmel turn? That turn cost her the gold in Tokyo you think she would have fixed it up. She also never quite hits 90 deg. in the 90 deg. leg turn. Turns are not her thing.
If only she could have performed this at worlds! This caliber of floor routine would have made her the all-around champ. She really did a good job with her tumbles here. If only she could make the dance a *little* bit more engaged, then I'd be totally in love with this.
It's so weird to me that she can tumble perfectly and leap perfectly and dance like she's the second coming of Anna Pavlova (the ballerina), but she falls out of double turns so often. Is that odd to anyone else?
people forget that she has less time to prepare for worlds than many of her competitors. I know she will continue to improve as the year goes on for sure. Im more worried about Mustafina..she has 7 months...so Russia must practice practice and more practice.
I understand she watered down the leaps a little bit and the landings were GREAT, but what annoys me is that it looks like there's a lot less effort into the expression/choreography/musicality at these minor meets...maybe I'm still spoiled from Tokyo or I was too wowed by how her triple in the Tokyo AA was in time with the music...
Wow! So much better than Worlds, although she still needs to work on her spins. I haven't seen her do a Memmel without falling out of it since Tokyo. I have to say she looks a lot happier and doesn't seem so exhausted.
INSANE! PERFECT LANDINGS! I just have to calculate this for myself, by the way, this is very strict... Double Arabian: separated legs, flexed feet, lack of distance (-.3). 2 tuck: separated legs, flexed feet, hop (-.3). 2 L: unbalanced, wobble leg (-.2). 3 full: hop, crossed ankles (-.2). Wobble (-.3). Double pike: bent knees, flexed feet, low landing (-.2). 5.8 + 8.5 = 14.3. And I'd say that this is really strict considering her feet are only slightly flexed on those three passes and CONTINUED
@ShawnVikaKomova2012 CONTINUED her knees are only slightly bent on her double pike. I needed to replay it in order to see those four errors. The same goes for her separated legs on her two tucked passes and the lack of distance on the double Arabian. A 15.0 for me without replay!!!! Incredible. Perfection. She will be more than this in London!
@kdan531 Again, it translates into lack of power which is a deduction however AgymnasticFAN says they don't deduct for lack of power which doesn't make sense at all.
@ShawnVikaKomova2012 Ah NO. Lack of distance only applies to VT and lack of power is a very vague statement. I'm not trying to degrade you or anything though. For the Dbl Arabian I'll only take a tenth for slight leg sep and another tenth for flexed feet. There is nothing else wrong with her Arabian, it is AMAZING how very tuck she is and her landing position is great. Komova is Amazing.
Awesome!

I like that she is determined to be better. I guess she is the kind of person that copes well with failure and criticism.
She needs to be more consistent especially on beam.
I can't wait for the showdown in Olympics AA and finals. Many good gymnasts from different countries. Much better than 2008.

@kdan531 There is no lack of distance on FX don't believe everything you read on YT.

@kdan531 @AgymnasticFAN Lack of distance on floor translates into lack of power (even while she shows TREMENDOUS height) which is a deduction.
