@strawberryrainbow yeah like...................um.....
.......Shushunova...thats it...she was at this olympics too..gosh it helps to watch the rest of the competition lol just so your opinion doesn't become a wrong statement. -
@ralucagymnast thats because FIG stupidly ranked it an E element along with a regular double front, and a double arabian...so why take the extra risk if its worth the same...very sad

@strawberryrainbow How could you even say that? She had one of the best first tumbling passes ever and yet all I ever focus on in her routine are her dance positions. She has such beautiful extension, lines, and choice of positions, it's really tough to miss. One of the most complete floor performers ever.

@strawberryrainbow You do realize she does fouette turns right? How many elites do that on FX!? Do you see her posture, her fingers always pointed? The leap series at 0:48? How she stands in ballet positions?

@ccaruso81 I guess so...?

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 lol i think for once we agree
To give you all an idea of just how difficult the Podkopayeva element is, just think of this: the double front half out is used as a DISMOUNT from bars, also one of the most difficult mens vaults in the world, the Dragulescu(after Marian Dragulescu) is a double front half out. Nobody else has done a double front salto with a half twist in the second salto as a floor skill before Lilia or since. Go figure;)
