needed a place to talk about women's artistic gymnastics.

can someone explain to me why this only got credited as a 5.9?

maloney (D) + pak (D) + chow (D) + stalder 1/2 (C) .4  (D+D=.1, D+D=.1 D (flight from LB to HB) + C (on HB) = .2) def (G) jaeger (D) church (E) toe-on 1/1 (D) + full-twisting double back (D) .1 (D+D=.1)

CR--2.5 1G--+.7=3.2 1E--+.5=3.7 6D--+2.4=6.1 + .5 CV = 6.6???

i'm honestly confused, it should be 6.1 before you even get to CV?  the only thing i could think of is that they could've downgraded the Def since she fell but that doesn't really account for seven tenths.

"It was a good competition, but we can do even better in the finals. Watch us."

"It is flattering to be compared to Nadia, but I am me, Larisa IORDACHE, and I want to be myself."

On the best gymnast in the finals: "Me." [x]

[30sec-dance-party]

[turnverein]

skills can only be named if competed at a worlds, olympics, or youth olympics and this is schaefer's first! :) AND THANKS FOR TRACKING THAT DOWN, any little victories for the germans after their rough showing will help get me through this. bah. :(

jessica lopez rocking her 6.5 bars set in podium training!  i feel like after fiddling around with a bunch of different skills/combos the past few years she's finally found a composition that really works for her and I'm soooo happy about it.

aaaand seitz with the def in podium training.  i got a 6.6 d-score for this (1G 1E 6D + .5 CV?), and her first series looks waaaay better than it did last year (tho the angle might be masking her leg seps).

[turnverein]

can we pls take a minute to admire lisa katharina hill's weiler 1/2 + chow + bhardwaj AND toe-on 1/1 + maloney + clear hip 1/2 + clear hip 1/1 + gienger bc it's some good shit

makra has rearranged her beam routine a little bit since earlier this year, i got a 6.4 if the layout gets credited?  feel free to correct if you see a mistake.

front HS mount (C) split (A) + wolf (A) onodi (D) + front (D) + side (D) .3 round-off (B) + layout (E) .1 full L turn (C) + full turn (A) + side somi (D) .2 switch split leap (C) + loso (C) .1 switch split 1/2 (D) round-off (B) + double pike (E)

acro: E,E,D,D,D = 2.2 dance:D,C,C = 1 cv: .7

6.4

i don't think she has ever gotten all her connections credited, but we can dream!!

Flash Quotes: Roxana Popa

On last-minute changes in her vault routine: "Right now I'm a little confused on whether I am going to do the double or not. I was training the double and a half and it looks pretty good, but in the qualification I'm maybe not going to do it to be safer." [x]

So Popa might do the Amanar in the AA?
