this bar routine is a winner and so is rebecca but when you watch it you cant help but look at how her legs come apart in her giants ! thats quite easily fixed though!!
is she getting deductions here for the bent knees and feet separation on her giants? i wonder why she's not able to fix that problem?
also, is it OK under the code to arch the back the way she does it to swing down from the 12 o'clock handstand? it honestly kind of ugly and it reminds me a lot of the MAG. so, are there deductions to that also?
@souriezmoimilord she had major knee surgery about a year ago, and i read somewhere she suffers from osgood-shlatter disease...not exactly sure if that's true, but it may explain why it's difficult for her to keep her knees straight. she's an amazing gymnast otherwise, and she's obviouslly a hard worker with tons of potential.
@chickwithbrains241 Osgood-schlatter disease wouldn't affect keeping her knees straight, it's to do with the growth plates so her legs and knees want her to grow but all her training is stopping her, if she took a long break it would probably sort it but then.. she'd gain weight and be taller :L haha :)
@chickwithbrains241 I don't tink e or she was talking about that. I think it was refering to the fact the bent her knees to make the giant liek Nastia instead of piking it or doing the giant in straddle position it to avoid the low bar. I don't know if I'm clear but it has nothing to do with knock knees. I wonder as well if it's a deduction
@gymnut83 I think it might be physically impossible for her to keep her heels, knees, and feet together at the same time. She's kind of knock kneed (spll?). Look at a picture of her on a medal podium and you'll see what I'm talking about. I like how she keeps still keeps her feet together though....
@chickwithbrains241 yeah I think Dom Dawes had the same thing, there was always a huge gap between her knees, especially on bars. You could really notice it when she was standing and looking at her face on or from the back. She wasn't like that when she was little, its too bad, it had to have gotten her some deductions on form.
I don't like piked jeager's.. I think they're much more beautiful when they're straddled.. Don't like piked tkatchev's eather.. And indeed, a piked jeager has got the same value..
@Illja2 Piked tkatchev's and rays are much more difficult though and they are currently vauled as so, therefore you are going to have to get used to seeing them. lol
boytoyville, why would she bother pike the jaegar when its the same value anyway? i personally think there is more risk in a pike jaegar so whats the point?
@fullyjames Even though they are the same vaule gymnastics is a subjective sport still on some level and a piked difficult is more difficult to perform because it's harder to see the bar. It would appear more impressive in my opinion.
I was hoping she would have a new bar routine this year. I would think she has more difficulty she could put in. She also really should be able to pike that huge jaeger.
I hate her calves

Rebecca has got to have the most serious poker face of anyone I have ever seen. However, she does have a pretty smile.

I like her but I don't like how just her toes are together and not her feet.
