The thing about this routine is that it doesn't have a lot of elements and is over fast but it took full advantage of the Code Of Points at the time. The overbar full-Def combo was a D-SuperE combo of .6 points: half the bonus needed for the ten. As well she had the giant pirouette to overshoot which was a .3 bonus combo. The double-double was another Super E. Few elements but pack and combines them well enough to get the maximum 10 start value.

i would give this a 9.3... .4 for not hitting 2 handstands, .1 for leg seperation on the def, and .2 for step on dismount... i wasnt even judging that harshley

My go, la sortie !! O_o

@catieekemp point taken but I still stand by not liking her routine... I feel like a gymnast like Mo Huilan who never won a UB title would be a serious contender today though, and she's from way back...

@bernardmvella that's not really fair because you can't compare routines between codes. Tweddle's & Liukin's routines were worth the same as this in the Athens quad & I'm sure LePennec would have upped her difficulty to adjust to the new code.

I mean its not the most interesting bars routine but she met the minimum requirements for the bars but now the CoP is extremely strict. she was a very smart gymnast to do hard releases and her dismount.

Such a simple gold medal routine, agree with the fact that it's basically just 2 skills, and cannot express how upset I was when Khorkina missed the handstand. Can't even imagine where it would have even slotted in if it was '08 against Kexin, Liukin, Yilin, Tweddle AND Semenova.

Im glad she won the gold on uneven bars. I mean now, its just either America, Russia, China, or Romania getting the medals. You rarely see other countries other than the Big 4 getting medals.

Well, I don't care what anyone else thinks, I was very impressed by her routine, and I will always remember her winning the gold :-D

@nini0033 She only won because Khorki fell.
Agree. Her routine was basically the Def and the dismount itself.
