My Favorite Romanians worked the beam.
With the exception of the one fall, Sloan actually looked fairly solid on BB, with very good form on her leaps. No pressure with Marta standing there. She was practically on the beam with her.
ReplyDeleteIt is so weird seeing the China having a team of big girls (by that i mean almost adult size) instead of tiny little pixie babies.
ReplyDeleteYou are a hero for linking all of these videos here! It is very difficult to check all the websites necessary to find videos, so this is a huge help. THANKS AJ.
ReplyDeleteHe Kexin has cheated her way to enough titles. I hope puberty bites and she disappears, as is typical for the Chinese gymnasts once they actually come of age.
ReplyDeleteLove Huang Qiushuang's bar set better than her teammate's.
ReplyDeleteI think that the for the first time in ages China might have a team of 16 year olds. I heard a rumor that Huang was not allowed to compete at Worlds in 2009 because she was underage.
ReplyDeleteRaisman's form looks better in this video than in podium training but I still don't like her much.
Huang was born in 1993. She wasn't underage last year, but she was in 2008 when she competed as a senior at PACs.
