Beijing 2008: All Around Preview

A montage featuring some of the gymnasts I believe have a shot at individual success at the Olympics in Beijing. This is only my opinion and the real contenders will only be known once the Olympics begin. The gymnasts are: Jade Barbosa (BRA), Shawn Johnson (USA), Dasha Joura (AUS), Nastia Liukin (USA), Steliana Nistor (ROM), Anna Pavlova (RUS), and Jiang Yuyuan (CHN).

NIIIIce

you forgot about Daiane dos Santos and Alicia Sacramone

[doublelayout10]

They are not all around gymnasts.. Daiane and Alicia are both specialists.

It's good but I think that you have forgotten Vanessa Ferrari between the contenders...

[doublelayout10]

Judging from recent videos and reports of injury, it doesn't look like Vanessa will be near the top. Who knows, though.

I think, with the importance of the Olympics, poor form will not be rewarded as it previously has, so I believe Steliana Nistor won't have a chance unless she cleans it up.

Personally, I think that Nastia's the best out there. It's just my opinion, but I prefer old school gymnastics from the 80s and early 90s when it was about grace as well. Don't get me wrong, there are some great powerhouses, but I also think that artistry should play a bigger part in it. Even though she's not a power gymnast, I think Nastia's the best.

Watching Nistor and then Pavlova right after is so interesting, its like watching an ostrich trying to fly and then watching an eagle soar.

[gymstar1998]

o thats so cool the dancers probably will get better scores lol

[mistybabe5489]

its still gonna be two seperate scores but instead of the 10 hardest skills its only 8, so there will be more time to dance on floor. also there are a couple of new connections and requirements.

[gymstar1998]

there is gonna be a new scoring system?

[mistybabe5489]

i love that the top 8 finalists are all from rus, rou, usa and chn. i'd want to see all of them compete again next season, with the new scoring system and see if the result is the same.

[mistybabe5489]

6th place

[sashemesauce48]

i know jiang didnt place but wat did she rlly come in?

[produnov]
