Really shocked to see the whips to full in given the full in pike on its own was a little scary. Honestly it looks the same with or without so why not go for it??
Exaclty, although the rest of the routine has went downhill, why do the front + 2 1/2 instead of the 2 1/2 + front that looked really good / consistent and is worth 0.1 / is easier to land? And no triple wolf / Memmel + illusion which I’m pretty sure she was competing before
her bars seem slightly reminiscent of mustafina’s, to me, not so much in terms of the elements as in her swing and fluidity when performing pirouettes and transitions, more than russia’s other top bar workers at least
OK well, I love watching Russian gymnasts. She has some work to do. Let's see what she can do going forward. She has some time. It's early in the season, so she's probably not a 100% yet. But every Russian gymnast I've seen is weak. They are just not nearly as strong as the US. An American genius on her worst day is still better Then this
@@irinan7185 As an American, I believe they have the most beautiful gymnastics without a doubt. But they need more strength and endurance to keep up and also maintain that beauty. It's understandable that they are not at full capacity because they are banned from competition. But at these local meets they sometimes look out of shape and sloppy. I hope to see the young ones flourish and succeed by 2028...but then the US will be at full force for their home Olympics.
