Sharpness and quickness is artistry too. It keeps you on your toes and it makes it flow without the 'dance' and 'arm movements'. just check out deng linlin's beam.

yeah it is the code not the gymnasts but even so a LOT of gymnasts these days could seriously improve what dance they have in their routines. they look aweful. executions and difficulty.. gym isnt a diving competition, atleast it shouldnt be. i would trade the 'fair and transparent' part of this sport any day.have a look at svetlana boginskaya's 1985 junior international routine in tokyo. every time i see it it makes me smile. gymnastics looked so light on the feet and fun back then..

Once again, it's the code's problems. Don't blame gymnasts. I personally like the code, which makes thing fair and transparent. Judges make judgements solely based on executions and difficulty, instead of subjective interpretation. For instance, I am not a big Comeneci fan because her style doesn't cater my aesthetics.

i think gymnastics today looks terrible. theres no dance. no flow. NO ART. its heartbreaking to watch it get worse and worse every year. yes the moves these gymnasts are pulling today are incredible, but thats all they r doing. element after element. no dance. no personality. robots almost. souless routines. i still find myself watching nadia comeneci more than any other gymnast and its purely because she is beautifull to watch.

i think jiang is okay on Uneven bars, balance beam, and vault. her floor is extremely cute
-
id say beam is jiangs weakest apparatus...unlike most if not all the chinese gymnasts her jumps r below parr...

Jiang Yuyuan is not beam specialist, the Chinese gymnasts that are specialists have the whole package beauty, dance and can flow. This gymnast is best on floor and an AA competitor. and she clearly out of sorts going so far over time.
Shawn Johnson had no dance but her routine flowed and looked effortless, that makes a great beam routine, though I prefered Anna Pavlova in style...It may be call Artistic Gymnastic but its sport not art.
yuanyuan improved a lot on beam!
