Rebecca Bross holds first place - from Universal Sports

[PhenixJoe]

American gymnasts do not connect enough of their releases to pacs. Drives me nuts.

[oragnegirl18]

that was a great rotine good job!

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

Anyone else think that her face totally looks like Milo's????

[tatulover2120]

nastia is still better than her BUT shes super good!

[ULibby]

What is up with her legs/feet? Why does she have that huge gap between her calves even though her toes are pointed and together?

[hatelizwebber]

@ULibby Rebecca has a condition known as knock knees. She cannot help it. If anything, she should be applauded for doing gymnastics with this condition.

[ULibby]

@hatelizwebber I see, thanks for letting me know. I had never heard of that before but went and read about it after you said that. Do the judges take off for that though?

[ParanoidAndroidDA]

@ULibby It's a 0.3 or 0.1 deduction for having your feet turned in so yeah I'm assuming they would take off for it at least once.

[bekkibabeey1995]

What a dismount!

[xGymnastxElliex]

her releses are amazing(:

& her dismount was,like, :O

[cheergymnast234]

is it so hard to smile?

[ItsNastiaFan101]

@cheergymnast234 Umm, did you not notice her smiling right after the replay?

[blackpower462]

she looks like shawn michaels

[CRDSA177]

is Nastia Liukin's dad her coach ?

[gymnasticluver13]

@CRDSA177 yep

[bikkutoria98]

I think Olga, was best over all. She and Nadia were Great, But I think Olga was The BEST!!

[ahirschx3]

@gymnastsings123 its because she gets amazing height, not many do that.

[loveetwilight69]

she always sticks the dismount(: i <3 her. she's so good.

[XxSportyMusicGirlxX]

I don't know why she's getting so much credit for her yaeger I mean Shawn Johnson has pretty much the same height Rebecca gets, and I think Rebecca should get more credit for her tkatchev. She SOARS above the bar on her tkatchev it's amazing!

[Missnewyork28]

The commentator is so biased ! I don't remember which one but there is an american gymnast that have a higher Tkatchev and Pavlova has a higher Jaeger. Strangely he was not that amazed during their routine.....

[msms68]

@lisam1987 i know shes good but not as good as they make her sound at this years worlds she got bronze on uneven bars in the finals and its just because the 2 chineese gymnast fell

[TheAlliepaige17]

Her dismount looked like she made it so effortlessly and it looked like it was in slow motion.

[greyskies34]

im sorry but 2 me rebecca bross isnt the "it girl" i thnk they just focus more on her than the other gymnasts cas shes from woga...yeah shes talented but i hate her artistry....ive been strting 2 hate her less tho haha

[peaceluvcheer97]

@greyskies34 I agree I like Jordyn weiber better, shes more artistic, about the same difficulty ( except on bars), and shes consistent. But I do think she is a good gymnast for the u.s. to have

[PocketGymnast]

I love watching Rebecca Bross, shes amazing!

[StephanieMcMahon74]

Great!

[Gr33nkiwi]

How can anyone even consider comparing the graceful perfection of Nadia Comaneci to the robotic, messy and boringness of Rebecca Bross?

[ThePingShowJL]

@Gr33nkiwi

I love Bross. She needs a little work on her artistry but she is very talented.

[mycajona]

If only Nastia Liukin would compete in bars and do a Comaneci Salto than a gienger or a cather that she usually does.

[Poparatiz]

she has a huge routine

[shuchangfan]

nice dismount

[othur]

EXCELLENT!

[curmeow]

she has to fix on her bent arms in casting the handstands

[jahknightz]

awesome......thats was amazing...........!!!!!!!

[lisam1987]

The commentators make her out to be like Nadia Comaneci on bars. Good routine, but not phenomenal.

[SchwarzeWitwe2]

Well, Bart is Nadia's husband. ;)

[xsmile007]

I agree!

[GymnastH89]

haha Comaneci wasn't doing routines like that on bars. Kinda hard to compare the two when they're basically doing different events.

[lisam1987]

My point is Nadia WAS a legend on bars. The way the commentators are talking about Bross makes it sound like she's the next UB legend. Nadia may not have done routines like that, but her 76 bar routine, imo, was the most phenomenal and daring routine in regards to the era. Not only that, her hand stands and the Comaneci salto performed in that routine would no doubt still be the envy of many modern day gymnasts.

[funky17620]

she dosent do a comeneci salto, just a jaeger

[lisam1987]

Um I know that.....you're missing my point.

[willsbob123]

I understand what you're saying, Rebecca needs to work on her form, etc. But, I agree, Nadia's routines wowed the crowds, they roared after every skill. Simply the best for that era.

[irs07]

@lisam1987 I used to think the same, until I saw Olga Korbut's UB in 1972. Olga's routine was more daring and phenomenal.
