i love the ending of her floor routine. its so graceful.

[darkeyes2404]

i like ivana's gymnastics but does anyone else feel that this floor routine is a little overrated, i think the music is beautiful but in a way i don't think she does it any justice, her movements look very rehearsed and almost forced and there's alot of pauses like she's just waiting around, there's no feeling or lightness to it to match the lyrical music, just my opinion, but i still think she has wonderful form and has improved alot since moving to WOGA

[chinghxd]

Along with many other people I don't agree with the new code; it's so silly that men get to show off their strength and flexibility whilst women are MEANT to show their artistry and beauty whilst performing but with the new code it's completely contradictory!!! And I think it's great that Ivana is happy with the change in academy, but I don't think that floor routine was really suited to her; I think she's more of a bold performer...less balletic.

Does anyone know when shes competing again?! Because shes training, or at least, thats what i've heard. :)

You can definitely tell what gymnasts are coached by Valeri Liukin in how they are trained to swing on uneven bars. I feel as if Ivana as well as Rebecca Bross tend swing like Nastia, similar elements as well

OMGOSH THIS WAS UPLOADED ON MY BIRTHDAY AHHHHH :D TEE-HEEE

Ivana did a good job, honestly but about the step deductions- women OBVIOUSLY aren't men and women's "ARTISTIC" gymanstics loses the artistic parts if you're expected to land your tumbling passes like men!

[QueenieQue]

I used to ride the Ivana-train, but I think I'm over her. She's an okay gymnast with fabulous form, but she has terrible amplitude (why can't they fix that?), poor consistency, a complete lack of lightness, and has almost completely weeded out the interesting elements in her old routines (think, the German giant on bars, the AMAZING double front on floor). I just don't think she's that interesting or influential a gymnast anymore.

@tellmeJO Things will only be fair when men have to prance around and be "artistic." How is it fair that men only have to tumble and show off their strength and flexibility when women have to show off artistry and are actually deducted when there's a lack of it? Don't try to make the two sports equal, because they simply aren't.

[lovergurl136]

wow shes perfect 

[nO1oThAdDiCt]

@tatulover2120 She would've moved to Plano to train but she was born in Laguna HIlls.

@MRdavenport2010 how is a step back artistic? i agree that the sport has lost alot of it's grace but in this instance i hardly think a step back is artistic.
