doesn't gutsu's score look to high? it is to me.

[GymMonkeyAz]

I think that her floor shouldve been like, a 9.85, not a 9.25.

If there ever was a perfect 10, Shannon's first vault was it.

@Katie27000000 I love being obsessed with this stuff to! And your welcome! It was great to discuss this stuff, and have dissagrements with someone, who doesn't attack me just because I have a different opinion. Crazy youtubers! They get to obsessed with a particular gymnasts, and they get completley irrational! haha, well thanks:D

[Katie27000000]

@mortella23 extremely interesting point, and duly noted. I guess I would ask how much more difficult Tatiana's dismount was. Things were weighted as a 10, when certain things were more difficult than other elements to perform. so I guess I'm asking what they would have gotten todayBut I totally see your point. Thanks for discussing these things with me :-) I love being obsessed with this stuff. Shannon may well have been underscored, even if I'm not sure whether or not Tatiana scored too highly

[mortella23]

@Katie27000000 I saw the video of Tatiana, she had a double layout dismount, but she slightly piked it, and landed a bit deeply. And shannon had a full in. But they both had a start value of 10.0, and shannon landed her dismoutn straighter up. So I just felt that Shannon deserved a slightly higher score is all. Plus shannon has a more difficult release move combination, i think opposed to gustu's full puriette ginger, shannon does a hop full puriette ginger. Idk thats just my perspective:/

[Katie27000000]

@mortella23 I agree with you completely that Shanno's execution and landings were perfect, or really close to it, but didn't Tatiana have a more difficult dismount? I thought her dismount was outrageously difficult, or at least I heard it was, although I don't recall exactly what it was.. Maybe a double layout or a double double? If that were the case, her start value would have been higher, so she might have been able to make mistakes. What's your opinion?

[mortella23]

@Katie27000000 yah but tatiana didn't deserve to score higher then her on bars:/ I mean their bar routines are basically identical, but shannon has more difficulty in hers with better execution, and landings..

[ferency98]

Shannon was robbed. All I can say. How could that not have been a 10? 

[Katie27000000]

@paulouk83 nsyncchick8877 and strongbad635 I agree that Shannon should have gotten a10for that first of vault. It was simply breathtaking, and the second one was beautiful as well. But she didn't lose the gold medal because of that vault. She scored higher than Tatiana here. She lost it because Tatiana scored better than her on the bars and in the floor exercise.

[strongbad635]

I seriously think the reason the 6th judge didn't post a ten was Nunno's annoying cheers right behind them. If he had kept his mouth shut, she'd have gotten a 10 and she'd have won.

[paulouk83]

i have to say as much as i love Gutsu... my god shannon should have won that first vault was amazing and under that kind of pressure, i remember watching this as a child and thinking shannon had gold!
