if only nastia was as good at that dismount as jaycie was

[rfillangi]

Granted she was first up but she was underscored for that routine.

[Ineedthat06]

damn why cant Nastia hit this dismount llike this

[thejakehitch]

her handstands are amazing.

[PhenixJoe]

@teecrew No shit, right? Nastia needs to get rid of that dismount, or any other front tuck tumbling element for that matter. She is so elegant and leggy, but those skills just make her look gangly and awkward, not to mention her horrendous cowboy legs.

[spinerfan757]

Dawes is the best your just saying that because she's black

[benrobinson77]

@teecrew ... i kind of agree with you, but Nastia's was from an inverted grip, so its not really a fair comparison. i think the inverted grip is harder to get power in the rotation, causing her to cowboy it. i have never done either of the dismounts, but im just speculating from my experience

beautiful, perfect handstand position throughout :)

[ccaruso81]

@beckerbombs yes, I agree, but the first-up position is so important because she sets the tone for the rest of the team. If they put Strug up first and she scored in the 9.6 range, the team has a lower score that they need to try to build on. I think they're strategy was correct. Miller would have been much better on bars had she not tried a double layout dismount. Should have stuck with a full in.

[ccaruso81]

should have scored higher than Dawes on this event. I though Dawes was a bit over scored. Jaycie had great form on bars.
