what's her dismount? full twisting dbl tuck? for some reason, it looks like a mustafina. i dunno if it's the "omg is she gonna make it" turn at the end.
Bars isn't her forte. If she could she would stop training bars and focus more on being an event specialists, e.g floor. I think she trains bars to just help the team in prelims since Russia really needs a prelim worthy bars. At least she tried to save the half turn after the Pak and she's old school by wearing no grips.
@abctooeasy Yup, she doesn't wear grips. She's wearing this paper thin gauge to protect her hands but it is not consider a grip. She is currently the only team member to make the team selection for worlds to not wear grips. She is pretty much the last old school gymnasts in Russia's new generation. The new generation like Komova, Grishina, Nabieva, Mustafina Dementyeva etc all wear grips now.

@tiashe1 Yep, it's a full-out. Mustafina adds an extra half twist.

She definately could've saved the first (beautiful Tkachev) and definately the second. Unless she was just too tired. She didn't show it.
