Natalia is good, but her routines are boring... :(

[taylorswift091196]

Artistic element is good, but execution and difficulty... :(

pause at 3:00 XD shocking

[Zsukki]

one of the best gymnasts ever

[Brocolli3bunny]

I thought that was a beautiful routine apart from the mistake, but underscored :( damn the corrupt judges

[outthehead]

@Brocolli3bunny i don't think it was underscored, 'cause the drop costed her a lot + she had a loss of stability, say, at 1:30 (difficulty and points lost), + the overall difficulty level was not that crazy ;)

but im really happy to see her again and hope that she ll be constantly improving her performance

[Brocolli3bunny]

@outthehead Having watched it again I think you're right. Her technique isn't as good as it used to be- a little off balance in the pivots- and yes the difficulty not as high as the other competitors. But it had beautiful expression, I wish RG nowadays had more of this but then I guess it wouldn't be a sport. I miss the 90s RG.

[outthehead]

@Brocolli3bunny the artistic aspect of the routine is undeniably great, but the rest is not that impressive compared to what other girls.. she definitely has great skills in apparatus handling, but she s always had problems with the difficulty level in terms of her elements.. and I love her for her originality, speed and her own style, but quite objectively she s not a top rank competitor in todays RG.. but it's definitely great to see her back! (and yes, today, RG is miles away from the 90s)

[edinou1989]

@outthehead thats not true dont forget that contrary to the others top gymnasts it was a new code of points for her , and shes not as young as she used to be when she was on top AND look at her hoop routine there are few of the most difficults elements from the code of points . If theres a problem its her execution , but stoping rg during one year didn't help .

[butterfly02tots]

i thought she has retired?

[giocosathequeen]

@butterfly02tots Yes but she come back to give an help to the ukranian team :D

[Sajtosphil]

@giocosathequeen why did the ukranian team need help?

[giocosathequeen]

@Sajtosphil To stay on the podium of the final for team (they finished at the fourth place) because there wasn't a strong team from Ukraine and so they tried to reinforce it with Natalia

[strengthofwill]

@giocosathequeen also, Natalia wanted to try things out one more time for Worlds, since she didn't compete in the Individual All-Around in 2007 in Patras and regretted it.

[giocosathequeen]

@strengthofwill I guess that's the true reason ;) (the one you said)

[magsGRful]

These commentators never shuts up during the routines, it's annoying. Hello!! People wants to listen the musics!

[SternOrStar]

Magnifique pivot à 1:21 !

Son justo est superbe, vraiment dommage pour la sortie !
