My Top Ten WAG Routines Olympics 2008

I got bored again so I made this video :P. I felt like making a video with ten of my favorite performances so then I just did :D. All coverage copyright BBC, not NBC!

Now when I say top 10 I don't mean all of my favorite routines stuffed into 10 places, I mean that the 10 different kinds of routines that I like the most, then pick my favorite one of each kind. It doesn't mean best score either, or amount of errors/bad form either.

#10: A bubbly performance, I also thought of putting it more as an opener to the video!
Runner-ups: None!

#9: A clever routine, with a decent start value without the most difficult of elements, but very, very enjoyable altogether.
Runner-ups: Nastia Liukin FX/BB, Ksenia Semenova BB
Find them here:

#8: Something with a high start value, also cleverly put together, with difficult elements harder to find to the untrained eye, with quite high execution (even though Nastia didn't have the highest execution ever in the event finals, but it looks a lot better from the way Christine describes it!!!!)
Runner ups: Anastasia Koval UB:

#7: I wanted a beam routine for this one, I didn't want ridiculously hard elements, or easy ones, but one just right. (Plus look at that ring leap in Pavlova's routine!!!)
Runner ups: Gabriela Dragoi BB:

#6: A seemingly perfect vault, with the errors concealed quite dang good.
Runner ups: Deng Linlin VT

#5: An easier 'perfect' vault, done with great execution with a lot less errors than #6.
Runner ups: None!

#4: A 'perfect', long routine, without the hardest elements ever (though she still has a huge start value!)
Runner ups: Ksenia Semenova UB

#3: A powerhouse vault, done with amazing execution.
Runner ups: Alicia Sacramone VT2

#2: A crowd-pleaser, something with amazing difficulty that can even be seen to the untrained eye.
Runner ups: Shawn Johnson BB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4KNKI2UZLc
He Kexin UB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIQ1qS3Rcrw&feature=related

#1: A floor routine that has something many gymnasts lack: ARTISTRY, while the difficulty isn't quite there due to the CoP, AMAZING to watch!
Runner ups: Ksenia Semenova FX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWVl5-rXWkw&feature=related

Where are Shawn Johnson, He Kexin, Li Shan Shan, Deng Linlin and Ksenia Semenova??????????

[ChainChomp2]

@LigafanPotteriana This is a really old video...a lot of the routines I would have put in mostly from the lesser-known countries in qualification were either taken down by NBC or others weren't high quality enough, the other routines I liked I put in the description several months after when those videos I either found after I uploaded this video or were uploaded after I published this.

[portfaz18]

how he kexin is not here?

[ChainChomp2]

@portfaz18 I didn't have a video of her when I made this, but I would have picked her if I did, there's a link to that video in the desc.

[chocolatefan1711]

[ChainChomp2]

@chocolatefan1711 Women's Artistic Gymnastics

[toomuchgoingon]

so glad that anna pavlova's fx was on here to...i think her choreography was one of the best on floor at the olympics...shame she fell on the double pike in finals...

[emmyjo720]

People are gasping at Beth Tweddle on bars.. great work.

[xrictinaaa1]

Beth's bars and Anna's floor were my favourite routines as well

I also loved Shawn's beam and Yang Yilin's floor

[ruyvenalton]

@toomuchgoingon I really agree on that...that floor routine was really the best piece of gymnastics in this entire competition

[diegokace]
