she hits those handstands so well!

[nodaybuttoday01]

By the way, Le Pennec never bent her KNEES past the low bar. She DID straddle, she never bent her knees. Her knees are straight past the low bar.

@hailtothevictorz I totally hear you my issue with having an 11-12 year old Elite gymnast is the fact that that is 5 year sof Elite training to even have a shot at it (age wise!) so...I don't know I was pretty happy being a level 6 at that age lol but I definitley see where you are coming from!!! :)

[hailtothevictorz]

Being realistic, this is exactly what is wrong with the age limits in this sport. Madison will miss the next olympics at the age of 15, when she will be at her peak (to me, she is way more exciting than Kyla Ross who is a few months older), and will be the best gymnast in the U.S. sitting at home watching the olympics. Or maybe we could get Chinese and doctor some shit. I'm trying to get excited for her at 19, but I know the facts... there have been a few exceptions in recent years, still...

I see Madison as a rising star in the elite world on the junior side! She has loads of time to upgrade since she's not even eligible for an Olympics until 2016. She has the makings of a great gymnast: body line and form, hit handstands, and awesome landings. She's definitely one to watch!! Another WOGA Olympian perhaps? Maybe it's too early to predict, but I'm always looking at the WOGA girls to see who could be USA's next All Around Olympic Champ :)

@gymstar6506 oh well i didnt really look up the spelling i just guessed

[gymstar6506]

@volleyballgurly15 her name is actually spelt emily le pennec

[90410nz]

hahaha @nodaybuttoday01 is right. they often say it. watch nastia's bar routine in the team final at beijing

[gymnasticsfan14]

Well I happen to kno alot about gymnastics and I'm definetly not blind! I've never heard a commentator say anything about bent knees on giant swings through the low bar. At the world championships bar event final there talking about on Rebecca's release move she bends her legs a little (she actually did it on acident, she normally don't do it) and same w/ Nastia a few times on her pac salto. Madison bend at the hips a little (or pikes w/e u want to call it) but that's ok! Ur clueless obiously

@nodaybuttoday01 yea no gymnast dose! thats exactly my point :) and i thought u wernt going to comment back? what happened to that???
