Olympics 2008 Gymnastics - Floor Event Final Part 3

[kundun5]

How the hell did Nastia lose?

[xrictinagymnastics]

@kundun5 her start value was not high enough for gold, FX is not her strongest event, she wouldn't have medalled at all if it wasn't Cheng Fei's fall and Daine Santos' uncontrolled landings

[Frensis26]

WOW, Sandra Izbasa was SO AMAZING!

[bingowasmyname]

Cheng Fei is so mature and graceful here, around the 8:30 mark, when she congratulates Izbasa. What a wonderful gymnasts AND a wonderful woman.

[fsousa415]

I dislike the american gymnasts, mainly Shawn and Nastia. They smile at every gymnasts who have just presented as if they had already won. I love to see Shawn's face after Izbasa's presentation.

[MrLalol123]

@fsousa415 You dont like them because they smile? They smile because theyre at the Olympics and they know they've done their best and their happy

[wen2rocks]

poor cheng fei, i dont get why she was crying i mean everyone messed up

[thejasminetan]

aww. Cheng Fei and Sandra near the really end.. (:

[StefanieEs009]

Nastia is so elegant

[1216tumbler]

Nastia was amazing

[gymnastagirl141009]

@cabsta136 Anna pavlova is around 5"6 as well:)

[AgentDouble0027]

Izbasa probably gave the best technical routine and Nastia the best artistic routine. Personally, I probably would have given Nastia the edge just because her technical elements were perfectly performed topped with amazing artistry. It was nice to see Izbasa bring the glory back to Romania and her reaction was sincere and genuine which is always nice to witness. Both girls were superb.

i felt really sorry for Shawn that she had to wait right until the last performance to find out she'd won yet another silver but i think Sandra definitely deserved the gold in this final

[peppermintfish1]

@NastiaLiukinFan1 do you have the beam final as well? I've been trying to find it but haven't been able to.

[Ilovefantacy]

Izabasa had amazing landings they were visibly in time with the music. Amazing, Good job everyone.

[PigPenguin91]

I loved Nastia's routine, the music was fun, but most of all, she performed it brilliantly. However, Sandra was really amazing, she deserved her gold. I agree with @GymnasticsFan1144, I slightly preferred Nastia's routine to Shawn's, but they were both great.

[stepitup25]

Cheng Fei - great sportsmanship at the end, very sweet :)

[RuCSZY]

love Sandra!

[GymnasticsFan1144]

I wonder what Sandra would have got in today Code of Points because she stuck almost every landing! Well deserved gold for her!!!!!

I thought Nastia should have taken silver her routine was more artistic, elegant, and graceful (which is what gymnastics is all about) than Shawn's. But Congrats to the both of them!

[cabsta136]

Yes Sandra Izbasa is 5"6 , the next tallest is Liukin is 5"4 then the others are around 5"

[Twilight19922008]

is the last one way taller thanthe others?

[kewelgirl]

This performance from Nastia was amazing and her best on floor! I dont get why she scored so much lower than her AA performance- a 15.525. She definitely deserved at least a 15.500! But congrats to Sandra nonetheless!

[TheGrayButton]

im all about rooting for your own country, but i feel so bad for cheng fei, or for that matter, anyone who falls.

[PigPenguin91]

@TheGrayButton I agree! I especially felt bad for her when she started crying, and the cameras zoomed in on her face. Leave the poor girl alone!

[kyle887923]

liukin should have won the silver

she had perfect landing apposed to some of her bouncy landings in the aa final where she got a higher score

not that it really matters...this was almost 2 years ago

[tumbles022]

@kyle887923 or perhaps she was overscored in the aa final and scored properly here..? just a thought.

[tammy842]

Wow, Izbasa really had great landings.

[TheCouchGymnast]

semenova did the ritz

[missmouse35]

who has the floor music to puttin on the ritz?

[bellaagueisha]

Definitivamnete nadie lo esperaba pero Izbasa puso en alto la el nombre de la escuela Rumana de gimnastas definitivamnete demostro a que iba a las olimpiadas y en este caso lo ultimo fue lo mejor.

[bnemz23]

nastia is so beautiful to watch except for her double front. she's way to cowboyed and it looks ugly. but she totally deserved the all around

[trinitydancer0614]

its supposed to be separated like that but ya i agree it doesnt look as clean as another tumble couldve

[silverraven412]

Sandra did amazing, she deserved gold. :]

[JulieGymnastik]

Elle a été la plus précie. Esperons qu'elle soit encore là pour Londres en 2012 !
