  • Well, its a shame that she quit but she did say that she was having some mental issues with the sport and I think I'd rather have her be a positive, normal 17 year old that is happy to have quit than be a sad negative girl that is doing something that she'd rather not do. But I did hear that there is a chance of her returning to the sport after the Olympics...

  • She really was beautiful.

  • Love that leotard 

  • Bundinha muito gostosa!

  • I wouldn't say her inconsistency on beam. There were just as many times, if not more, when she hit it and it was fkn gorgeous. I think it was physical and mental burnout asralucagymnast pondered. She had so much bad luck with injury, and the mental aspect of everyone expecting her to make Australian gymnastics a huge name would've been an unbearable pressure and burden at times. It's sad to see her retire, especially this close to the Olympics, but I agree that it's better for her to be happy.

  • Yes, to stay at the top level in gymnastics consistency is the absolute key: look at Tatiana Groshkova, a truly great Soviet gymnast in the late 1980's early 1990's who did amazing stuff like double full-in piked on floor, and backhandspring full-in on beam, and sideways backhandspring to Yurchenko loop on beam, but she was terribly inconsistent and never made the Soviet team for the Olympics or World championships.Very sad.

  • Its sad hollie quit. But maybe was it that her inconsistent performance on beam kept letting her down? I mean she could have easily made finals and gotten the gold medal (if not a medal of any kind) in both 2006 and 2007 worlds. (sorry i am a bit biased, as an Aussie, but really, Hollie's beam routine is gorgeous!)

  • Thats a real shame about her quitting: was she just tired of the training, or was it something physical; an injury or something? Thats so sad:(

  • Her Mostepanova (Or Onodi whatever you wanna call it) Front aerial, bhs, layout step out combonation is SOOOO pretty....I always loved watching her. SO stylish!

  • OMG she retired why? she is so good and she is only like 18 so young
