@alejandroono74 sure she can, she just had bad luck in EF, her score from team finals was higher than Wieber's score, so if she had performef like that she would have win the bronze. And still, it's amazing that she got almost all her skills back after just a few months of training
Did the dismount get downgraded to a full twisting double tuck? I know she was going for a pike but looked tucked at the start. I'm litterally MIND FUCKED as to how she's still in the game?! I was not expecting this at ALL!
@JTGPCFL a tuck and a pike are worth the same (G=0.7), but I'm pretty sure she was deducted 0.5 for having her shoulders below her hips and chest by her knees when she landed it. She should stick with the double pike.
@JTGPCFL Me too, I mean most gymnast who make a comeback need about two years to have all their skills back. And she has 90 % of her skills after training for 7 months? How is that even possible?
Welcome back, Catalina! Welcome back, full twisting, double piked on BB! Oh Gosh. I really hope she's great in London. And the most amazing: London-2012 will be my first internacional vacation travel! \o/
@ShawnVikaKomova2012 I was just going to add a response about how much I love that dismount, but apparently everyone else does too! I really only love it that much when Cata does it!
@QueenieQue Same here. Although Ohashi does it well, I think. Who cares about the low landing and the form. No one else took such a risk in Tokyo. Not to mention she's been on this comeback for what... Seven months now?
@ShawnVikaKomova2012 She actually competed the double spin at the romanian nationals but had a wobble. Maybe that's the reason why she didn't compete it at worlds. But hopefully will see it in 2012
@xrictinagymnastics Yeah, that's why I posted that comment about wishing she had brought the double spin to Tokyo. I never really liked the way she did it, but it was usually consistent. She could possibly throw a 6.7 beam set, or higher!
She is so impressive, especially coming out of retirement. She did well at worlds, but not what she hoped for. I hope she doesn't get discouraged and quit before the Olympics because she is awesome and could get some medals there
Yep. She left out the series after the aerial walkover. Her switch half at the start was downgraded to a regular switch leap, making the switch leap before the Kochetkova null. Because of that, she loses the connection points as well.
i know catalina can do better, she a olympic queen

Catalina is elegant. We appreciate to watch "women" gymnastics instead of "little girls looking like boys" gymnastics.

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 I agree with you. Full twisting double pike dismount is so difficult.
