@theaeggymnat yes but He Kexin did not have leg seperations on every kips, she did not have leg seperations on her pak salto, she did not have bent knees on two giants, she did not have a froggy-flexed feet-cowboyed-low-cheated dismount, she did not have a flat Tkatchev either. Yes Nastia deserved gold, it does not matter if she has form breaks on 99% of her UB routine. She is Nastia, she even deserved Nadia Comaneci's gold.

@481095ymg2 I'm very strict. You obviously don't know how to take deductions if you think Liukin deserved gold... Haha that's just funny itself..

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@TheZwinkyStuff Liukin's bar dismount is excessively cowboyed (-.3), and with flexed feet (-.1).

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@JonnyTainment Li Ya.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@brdbarreira Yep, I remembered that... I would've rather seen Li in Beijing... Especially if she was clearly of age...

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@romonabruno No, not necessarily. There are plenty of short Russians who have fine kips... What is Kexin's excuse now? She's certainly grown since Beijing...

[TheZwinkyStuff]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 yea, nastias dismount was a 0.30 deduction because of leg seperation and flexed feet, and He Kexins dismount was a 0.10 deduction because of the step. But Nastia still had an amazing bar routine.

the release at : 36 is epic!!!

[jcmcn61]

she is underaged

[cheddarpretzels]

@romonabruno Does it mean she won't get deducted for it? No.

[romonabruno]

@cheddarpretzels her dead hand are because of her height

[cheddarpretzels]

He Kexin ALWAYS has dead hangs! After every single release, transfer etc. she has to muscle her way up!

3 leg separations is way less than 4 dead hangs. Her transfer ALWAYS looks strained. Her handstands are not nearly as straight as Nastia's. No one's are. She would've gotten 0.1 deduction for ALL of her handstands! Hexin had more height on the Tkachev, -0.2 for Nastia.

Both had leg separations on their Paks. Both had steps on their landing; Nastia gets 0.2 deduction for form.
