I would have liked to see Sveta get a 9.900.

[musikelxx]

german giant = awesome.

what the flip! everyone had the exact same bars mount except Karpenko and Prudonova.

Also I love the way Khorki does her dismount, she twists so easily.

And I think Karpenko had TWO mistakes in her bars: the dismount landing of course and the leg separation in the pak salto. Therefore I think Yang deserved her medal

[strongbad635]

Karpenko got robbed of a bronze medal on bars. She hit every single handstand dead on in the 12 o'clock position. Yes she had a step on her dismount but the interior of her routine contained many fewer deductions than Yang's. IMO.

Karpenko´s routine flows like honey, so smooth and so sweet. I could watch it for ever

[GymFloozie]

Makes you wonder if Prudonova was on Sudafed all during this competition.

[sochisochi]

Khorkina is a LEGEND .

[kyle887923]

it kind of scares me how good and agressiva korkina is on bars

[CelloRosin]

I think the medals should have been:

Gold. Svetlana Khorkina

Silver Yang Yun

Bronze: Ling Jie and Viktoria Karpenko

[huntasoup]

@CelloRosin I think that Tang Yun should have been placed before Ling Jie.

Was Khorkina's bar routine out of a 10.0 or 9.9?

[lasalseracubana]

out of a 10.0. she wouldn't have won otherwise. very few gymnast went into the finals with a 9.90 start value, and when it happened it usually was because they missed a connection and had to skip a skill, which lowered their start value.

How did the Ukrainians qualify three girls in to the bar final?

[finfelagund]

You probably mean Zharganova, which is albeit Belarussian.

Loved Khorkina's routine!!!!!
