2:56, holy shit, what a stare that was. I love Svetlana, hate carly and Sveta's unverscored vault cost her the gold, but damn, if looks could kill, carly would be dead right now lol
and the commentator call himself Australian! If he was a real aussie he'd know sheep do jump like that with their backs arched and their heads back when they are scared. It's also depicted like that in heaps of chinese paintings too.
Carly Patterson has this weightless quality on beam - Shawn Johnson does too. I wonder how they achieve that. Is it extremely strong quads that get them more amplitude?
I always thought that too! It's like she lands in slow motion! She has an amazing feel for soft landings. Shawn is more aggressive, you KNOW she's gonna land every single skill beforehand! Both are great beam workers.
Zhang's beam was low 9.5, high 9.4 in my opinion. A 96.62 with a wobble, missed connection, step out landing, and overall a tentative routine?? No, way.
Carly's beam was amazing, though. She deserved every tenth. Personally I think she merited a 9.8 or so, but hey it was still awesome.
zhangs routine kinda went with the floor music

Do sheep actually jump? And if they do, do they jump like these girls on the beam?

the way she steps back when she lands her dismount reminded me at Li Shanshan

Carly's dismount was perfection. Beautiful and her score well deserved.

Actually it was Svetlana's poor beam routine that cost her the gold.

Is it a deduction/wrong how Carly lands her flips in a squat?
