Plus, by 14, Shannon Miller, Dominique Dawes, even Nastia Liukin were competing truly elite level skills with dang good polish. It's not practical or healthy to expect Lizzy to make it that long in elite gymn. Focus on getting to college and peaking THEN... not for a Worlds that no one will remember. Again, the payout is much greater if she were to focus on being a college gymn star.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-6720541005264822282011-02-23T01:30:13.326-08:002011-02-23T01:30:13.326-08:00Mister, why the hell would Leduc prep for college ...Mister, why the hell would Leduc prep for college now?

She came up just short with a 52.55. You need a 53.00.<br /><br />All the WOGA kids look alike. They're all interchangeable. None of them have their own inquire style on any event. Sure, Ohashi does harder stuff than the rest of them, but the way she swings bars, the way she does beam and floor, she looks just like all the others. Who look just like Bross. Who looks like a bad Nastia knock-off. Their choreographers clearly aren't even bothering to give a shit any more.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147626601976881664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-71324356392653625192011-02-22T10:52:11.133-08:002011-02-22T10:52:11.133-08:00All WOGA choreo looks the same to me and has for t...All WOGA choreo looks the same to me and has for the past 5-6 years. Pose, pose, pose, roll on the floor momentarily, pose again. They recycle the same few poses in every routine, despite having dramatically different athletes. It works decently well for someone like Bross who isn't very fluid, but it's obnoxious with someone like Nastia, who could actually handle something more complex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-20754675509406177352011-02-22T09:37:08.699-08:002011-02-22T09:37:08.699-08:00And if LeDuc's parents were smart, they would ...And if LeDuc's parents were smart, they would start talking to her about college gymnastics.

That girl has some great basic extension going on. It's awesome. I can't get over her 1/1 dbl pike. Insane dismount... and equally insane that she's connecting an arabian to leaps. That back 1/1 is much more like a whip and what Shawn J's "layout" 1/1 would look like (if we ever get to see it). I also like Jordyn's height.
