@ExdeathXInfinity That's true, but a lot of the Chinese girls were guilty of that same shaky technique. They are all brilliant on the really tough stuff, but lose swing on basic transitions and struggle with stamina towards the end. hence the looseness on the kips. I have to go back on watch again, but I always felt Mandan didn't have the fluidity or smoothness of Jie. I think Jie's routine was harder, too.
@intldawn well, i agree with that, but you cna sort of tell that Jie's kips r laboured. SHe muscles them, and they r slow, and u can see her arms bending as she does it, but everything else is beautiful
@macassar88 Khorkina deserved her gold in Sydney. She upgraded her routine again and it was brilliant. Ling Jie with a hop definitely did not deserve gold and probably not even silver over Yang Yung's perfect routine with a stick.
I would have given Ling Jie the gold at these Worlds over Khorkina though. Mandan didnt even deserve bronze though. I wish Mandan was pulled from finals for Ling Jie instead of Xuan.
Yeah, I don't see Mandan's routine as better than this. JIe's form and body line are flawless and she has the most beautiful rhythm. That double layout dismount was absolutely stunning. Probably the best bar routine I've seen her do. Fantastic.
@iloveyourstory It was a little muted, but he actually said look at that body line. :-)

Well, I think that Ling had better swing than Yang. However, it could have con either way. I still think Khorkina deserved bronze or silver.
