Kim Bui - Floor Exercise - 2009 Tyson American Cup - NBC

[rubinco]

Why was this only a 14.1? I mean, I don't think it was THE hardest FX I've ever seen, but it was pretty solid... I don't get the score.

[bernardmvella]

@rubinco A few leg seperations, lack of control on the spin at the start, big landing deduction on the last pass... Her score here is definitely fair, and maybe even a little generous, 14.1 is what most gymnasts who have a difficult exercise but are not the best on floor receive (Huang Qiushuang generally receives about this score but her floor is a bit better imo)

[volleyballgurly15]

she looks really sweaty! lol..not saying thats a bad thing! hahah...

[Leysmii]

also she leaves the floor.

[Exxdancer]

JW why did she get such a low score ? 

[FallenRose101]

Gorgeus routine. I really love her leo, too.

[Flipflopp44]

wats with the audience? no claps??

[StephenMichaelHewitt]

It's kind of weird. She seems to start off rushed and then just starts slowing down gradually. I'm excited to see what she brings to the table in the future!

[billabongroxursox]

Whats the name of the music??

[panicatthediscoxgirl]

What a pisser! The step out, I mean.

[cronopio131]

she's so pretty.

[talkin2myself246]

[m3l0owxcore]

Germany

[04tiebro]

@talkin2myself246 it mentions right at the very start she is from Germany

[vietbaerchen]

@talkin2myself246

vietnam :D

[soberanis100]

i don't understand, whats a cowboy landing???

[gymnast768]

when the feet are pretty far apart on the landing, like PRETTY far. and i think there is also some squating involved, more then usual i mean...

[theurbansoul]

@soberanis100 When your legs are very far apart

[skycub99]

ok, this was so HD my eyes started to water. lol

5 stars for teary HD eyes!

[houdiinii]

You're right...watching this in HD is so extremely beautiful :D

[Mademoiselle267]

Deutschlaaaaaaaand :D

[ptaerte]

what is this song called? please help :)

[KseniaSemenovaFan]

well, well, well performed just the end..mh..no problem...good music and good performance!

I hope she will go this year to the worlds2009!

[TheGreenSweater]

It's nice to see such a high tumbler!

[UltimatumHS]

She's pretty good, made a lot of good decisions with her passes.

[riddler5882000]

she should do the arabian double front at the beginning instead of the full in -- it'd save her about 0.3 in deductions for the low chest.

Also, when she's knelt on the floor with her arms at the sides and throws her head back slightly, she should throw her head back a bit further.

[ThePenguin888]

She had about 0.3 on cowboy for the double arabian.

I personally think she should go back to her triple twist.

[riddler5882000]

Oh. I thought the cowboy was only 0.1 off. Everyone seems to cowboy and get away with it, but when someone lands with their chest down, it's like they get hammered.

[barryjohna]

Great FX am really getting tired of double pike at end of almost every FX

[MyaRousson]

@barryjohna i know what you mean, but the thing is they get 'extra bonus' points for doing as their last tumbling pass. even though it is one of my favorite passes, it does get boring seeing it at the end all the time.

[okhan001]

i love her second pass

[enpha87]

We're seeing a glimpse of the new code right there, I thought it was impressive too!

[mrcool5334]

I actually have this recorded on my tv she is real smart

[pink0twinkie]

what do you mean? I'm not saying she's not smart, just wondering how do you know that from this video?

[mrflipz]

1.they said her english is substandard yet they carried on a half hour conversation.

2. did you see her opening pass? she almost stepped out but twitched her foot up so she wouldnt.

[AnnaPavlovaFan]

Yes, that was a very smart, almost Khorkina-esque save! Great second pass, excellent music choice and cleverly choreographed routine. I think the new CoP is moving towards the right direction.

[dAnThEmAn178987]

very nice, and a very smart gymnast
