  • It was more like a 2&3/4. They could have deducted it but she should definitely have taken credit for it. Downgrade it seems to me way too harsh! Way to treat the Olympic champion...

  • Wow... downgrading the Olympic FX champion on a 3/1? Seriously? These judges must've been smoking some serious Russian crack.

  • what is the name of the song, please?

  • I HATE when they show the tumbling pass by the top view. wtf!?

  • her feet are about 2 3/4 round i would have given her the triple with a 0.3 deduction

  • There once was an ROV bonus (risk, originality, virtuosity) given to routines that had a special "wow" factor, but it was done away with years ago. For instance, Yang Bo was given ROV credit, though she consistently botched her BB dismounts. Thus, she could take 6 steps on a dismount landing, and still end up with a 9.9 or so because of the huge bonus for the clear, superb artistry she exhibited on beam. I miss those days. Equity has ruined this sport.

  • I agree. I love gymnastics even though I don't practice the sport myself and I am not fully versed in every detail of the code of points. I know there are points for artistry but they are minimal and as I understand very easy to get full credit on. The sport has pushed heavily on the acrobatic aspect.  From watching the sport over the years I think the late 80's to maybe 2000's was the best combination of artistry and difficulty.

  • Though that may be true, they are ALSO not rewarding artistry like they should. What has happened to beam over the past 8 years is proof of that. You would never see a Khorkina-type routine making it into EFs... no major points for artistry.

  • I think the whole idea of the new code is to maintain complete objectivity. In the past established gymnasts used to get the benefit of the doubt, no more :(

  • Sandra Izbasa is great. Although I wanted Shawn Johnson to win the Olympic Floor Final, she surprised me with her excellent superb routine.Her I really think she was underscored big time. At least a pt higher sounds a little better. These judges are kind of blind I think.

  • well...she was a bit short of rotation, but it is hard to tell with the angle on this video
