  • 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.
