Rhythmic Gymnastics: 2012 Olympics Montage - Who Wins?

[stinebroenn]

when is the date, and where in london? :-)

kapranova or alina, they are such beautiful gymnastis!

[TheHoliday555]

I just hope that it's not Evgenia Kanaeva winning gold next year - I love her and was so happy when she won gold in 2008, but I'm just ready for something or someone new in RG. I guess it's too predictable and monotonous for me now. It doesn't look like gymnastics to me because of the contortionism and figure skating leotards. But to answer the question: I think Evgenia Kanaeva will win gold, Kondakova will win silver, and Staniouta - bronze. I wish that it would be different :D

[mrstwohats]

frankie jones is doing the olympics.

[xSmiley97x]

But...some of these gymnasts have already retired. So how are they suppose do compete in the London olympics if they have quitted RG?

[Yangyun4ever]

Honestly, I think Charkashyna or Staniouta have a better chance to make the podium instead of the Ukranians. The first two places will probably go to Evgenia and Dmitireva/Kondakova (whoever Viner chooses to send) and third place will go to Staniouta/Charkashyna/Maksimen­ko (and if we aren't lucky, Viner will hand the bronze medal to Garaeva)

[TheBlubberlayla]

anna can´t win anymore she finished you know):

[wittenevel]

this is very inaaccurate, some of these gymnasts are alrady retired.....

[SportySplitGirl]

I can't see Kanaeva anymore!!

But I think that she's going to win again

I hope Ermakova will do it..or someone unexpected :)

[elisabolognesi]

a me piacerebbe k vincesse maksimenko dato k anya ha smesso.... ma tanto so già k vincerà kanaeva... vince sempre lei... avesse perso 1 all- around da torino 2008 e questo mi pare alquanto strano.... INGIUSTIZIA!! però anke charkashyna mi ispaira... boh vedremo!!!!

[ruslan273]

I think evgenia should win cause Anna is old theisebgorls are so deticated. I know that this is not an easy sport

[LovelyMe93]

I just dont know why but I REALLY dont hope Kanaeva wins...

[Stagringleap]

Daria Kondakova, Irina Risenson and ALiya Garayeva are my friends in facebook! ;D

[LovelyMe93]

Stagringleap , my to!!!!!

Have you talked to them? :P

[Stagringleap]

@LovelyMe93

we chat a lot with Garayeva ! ;) she's so kind ! but i never chatted with Kondakova and Risenson ,and you?

[LovelyMe93]

Stagringleap , Not Risenson and Kondakova. But I send a link to Yana and I send a message to Aliya. What did you talk about? :)

[Stagringleap]

@LovelyMe93

ahhh , we're also friends with Lukonina,Merkulova and Valeriya. , me and ALiya were talking about her close friends! like Gimatova,Kanaeva and BEsso

[LovelyMe93]

Stagringleap , ahh ok!

I know she speaks russian but what more, may I ask? :P

[Stagringleap]

@LovelyMe93 she speaks russian and english

[LovelyMe93]

Stagringleap , good. Because I thought she only know russian.

[contortionist104]

kapranova retired, Sessina retired, Bessonova retired, Shpekht retired.

[SportySplitGirl]

@contortionist104

bessonova retired?!

[contortionist104]

yes she retired after the WC in Mie last year in september

A pity though, she's been my alltime favourite gymnast

[chuadeline]

OMG what do you mean by injustice?

[Sofielololo]

i also like dmitrieva!

[Sofielololo]

you cant really predict something like this. but i like:

staniouta, kanaeva, kandakova, charkashyna, miteva, etc.

i like staniouta because she is fresh. shes not just another russian rhythmic gymnast.

bessonova, shpekt, sessina, kapranova--not gonna be around for 2012 olympics.

[contortionist104]

@Sofielololo

Staniouta isn't russian, she's from Belarus.

Most likely that Kanaeva or Kondakova will win the OG but nothing is sure yet :)

[Sofielololo]

yeah i know shes not russian. I mean im glad shes not some typical high level gymnast. she brings something new to the scene. i love her style.

[TheLemonija]

Stanuta, Maximenko, Kondakova,Rizatdinova, Dmitrieva,Narkevich

[dancerlaurac]

Bessonova just retired :)

[SportySplitGirl]

Contra:Kapranova,Kanaeva

Pro:Shpekht,Ermakova

i think bessonova and sessina will retire this year.

maybe bessonova will do it 'til the olympics 2012,but in my opinion vera will leave soon..

[xSleepingAwakex]

I think Darya Kondakova is the future of RG... she already won two silver medals at WC in Mie :)

[lithy8]

1.kanaeva

2.staniouta

3.bessonova(if she continiue)

[4evaRG]

Vera sessina has retired. She retired about week ago or more

[pikkujoulu]

ou, really!? is kapranova too : ((( ??

[4evaRG]

dont forget daria dmitrieva and daria kondakova !! they have amazing turns

[Sneg8]

I wish Anna won the gold^^

[Truebluesea]

Yana Lukonina, Melitina Staniouta, Boyanka Angelova, Natalia Garcia, Alexandra Merkulova... until 2012 these girls are going to be the TOP GYMNASTS WORLDWIDE

[Aleksandra1989]

It's absolutely impossible to predict. Before the OG in Beijing everybody knew that gold would receive Bessonova, or Kapranova, or Sessina. But Kanaeva got the gold. I'm sure that Vera, Anna and Olga will retire soon. Perhaps even Kanaeva won't performe in London. Who knows? But new stars will definetely be open during this four years.

[laUritmicalove3]

EVGENIA KANAEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GOLD!!!!!!!

2. MELITINA STANIOUTA! (you forgot her!)

3.DARYA KONDAKOVA

I think Anna Bessonova will retire this year like Sessina. I'm not sure Kapranova will staye in London.

Kanaevaaaa THE BEST!

[gymbourini]

i love all these gymnasts and all.... but i dont understand y people assume that the russians and ukrainians are the ones that would always win so i disagree on the idea of making a video of an event taking place in 3 years and u havent seen the potential of other gymnasts from other countries and continents on the new code.... other than that i like the music and the shots...=)

[EvgeniaRG]

Because the judging is so unfair that only EasternEuropea can have the chance to win, plus they have most diffcult routines.

thank you though :]

[K3ytrin]

@gymbourini let's face it.. the Russians have an innate talent and I have yet to find someone who's not russian and has the same grace and elegance that Kanaeva, Kabaeva and Bessonova have!!!! But then again, they train a lot and practically live for that sport! They pretty much do nothing else … I'm not saying that others aren't great (heck, I would want to be able to do what most of them do :) ) but Russia is phenomenal when it comes to RG!!

[seriex5]

sessina is 22 so for london she´ll be 26!! too old for Russia, marina (i like her a LOT!!) but she´s too old, and never assist to importan compettitions....kapranova sucks and she´s 23

[EvgeniaRG]

Viner will do ANYTHING to make either Sessina or Kapra (her "golden gymnasts") sweep up the podium, even if Vera or Olya do not wish to go. :[

[seriex5]

bessonova is not assisting to London cuz she´s 25!! too old....besides i dont like her cuz she has no back flexibility, Alina Max. is good! the future of ucraine, Eugenia (i dont like her but she´s obiously going)

[EvgeniaRG]

Cid was 28 when she retired, plus, Anna is a GREAT gymnast, and she has some medical disability where she have no feeling in here limbs at the times. :[

[SmittenKitten75]

@seriex5 Bessonova is a fabulous gymnast and although her back isn't as flexible as Kabaeva her split is far far greater than any other gymnast and she can do a split leap at the same degree any other gymnast would be stretching on a good day

[iheartrg11]

Half of the girls that I'd like to see go are Russian, but they are trained by Shtelbaums, so Viner wouldn't let them go.

You forgot Ermakova! :P

Other than that I think you made a really nice effort into making a montage about something that will happen 3 years from now!

[kindheittraumer]

´pichuzchkina is in the group

[natalie2452]

and also girls like popovkina, pichuzhkina, garcia, shirkina...but i think kushnerova might also appear, maybe maksimenko, but the others wont even go...

[EvgeniaRG]

Pichuzhkina and Shyrkina retires. :[

[rhythmicgym4]

agreed ^ the younger ones re even better

[nicw]

Bessonova, Kapronova, Shepht, Sessina definately wont be going

[kindheittraumer]

no one of these girls will win...only kanaeva has the chance...

what about lukonina, ermakova, angelova, staniuta, narkevich, dmitrieva, kondakova, rizatdinova???

[EvgeniaRG]

OK, I make new montage with these girls :]

[natalie2452]

what about girls like ella yastrebova, boyanka angelova and all these rising stars? too young perhaps? I am not really sure,hust wanted to ask:)

[EvgeniaRG]

Ella too young :]
