Yang Yilin 2008 Olympics Uneven Bars Event Finals

Yang Yilin competes on the uneven bars in event finals at the 2008 Olympic Games.
For all of you who say that she was better than Nastia, look at Yilin's kips.
Good job over all, though.

Score
A-7.7
B-8.950

how did she not win???

@alialialiABC Kip cast to handstand.

[markedexclusive]

Apparently the judges were less forgiving on missed handstands, which she had a few of, than on cowboyed dismounts or dead hangs.

[481095ymg2]

@markedexclusive Yes, a thousand times yes.

@ellovestumbling332 Yilin late on her pirouettes!?!?! Only on the last one! She is just the best pirouetter I think I've ever seen! Huang and He (Ling 1/1) are pretty close... but Yilin's so textbook perfect! Also, no dead hang in this routine. Her Tkachev wasn't as low as Nastia's. And Yilin's much more graceful than Nastia on bars! Her DLO is 100% grace and Nastia's frog/rodeo dismount is 0% grace! And Nastia's messed up Pak Salto? Geez...

Idk her kips were slow and off and her routine wasn't perfect nice double layout though i think Nastias was a lot better

[Jesle14]

She was late on the last pirouettes, didnt make all of her handstands, bend arms on kips

[bernardmvella]

Even Nastia was surprised Yilin didn't go into first, I mean seriously...

[pandaxseal3]

DANGG she has ALOT of those barrettes in her hair!

[BontasFan]

I think she lost it on the kips and the dismount. That double layout was great, but the landing was a little off. She stuck it, but her knees were a little too deep and her chest was somewhat down. I still think she was better than Nastia and He.

wow!!!



[jetan29]

she should've won gold.....

[brdbarreira]

I love when she says "ABSOLUTELY PERFECT LANDING!"
