@ralucagymnast Also did you watch the recent European Championships? Did you see the Floor Final? I admit they got the correct winner, but even Sandra's routine is hardly "artistic" is it?? I would rather see 1000 Olga's than 1 Beth Tweddle. Todays gymnasts dont even try to "feel" the music; the music is more like incidental, background music, nothing to do with whats going on on the floor. Very sad:(
@justinmjb Oh come on, so youre saying that Beth Tweddle is more "artistic" than Olga??lmfao!! And no wonder todays gymnasts can do huge tumbles; the equipment is so much kinder on the body than it was 30 years ago!! Todays gymnasts all compete the same tumbles and the dance, Ive already commented on; its boring. All todays routines look the same; no variety at all. Todays floor routines just look like power tumbling routines. I stand by what I said; but thats only my opinion of course.
@ralucagymnast um, i didn't think her dance was really anything... And even if YOU say she " can dance" , she certainly can BARELY tumble and her tumbling is awful... She barely made the fullin around and stumbled foward. Went outta bounds on a VERY simple second pass. She might dance a lil better than todays sluts but not by much and she could NEVER compete in the tumbling with todays gymnasts. NOT even close. LOl. So she is hardly the TOTAL package. Just sayin...
Totally agree; todays "dance" consists of a couple of turning switch leaps, the obligatory switch ring leap/jump, and the double spin which most gymnasts stumble out of. Very sad, especially when you see beautiful artistry demonstrated here:(
@ralucagymnast - most gymnasts today cant dance to save their life really.....Shawn Johnson & Alicia Sacramone anyone?? still why dance when the judges dont actually credit you for it......the scoring needs to be changed!!!
Bravo!! Brings tears to my eyes to see such beauty, also tears of sadness when I see that the new World Champion on floor cant dance to save her life:(
