In fact, I don't make a secret of being a big fan of the US girls. Amongst others but I think it's fairly noticeable. I find their performances amazing to watch-especially in person. <br /><br />Anyway, that doesn't mean I don't think some results are weird. Not quite as strange as you confusing Maggie and Maddie. I think it's relatively healthy to accept that even your favourite gymnast has at least some faults, even just minor niggly form things. Maddie has a good few of these on bars, still an awesome bars worker. Maggie has quite a few on floor, they should affect her e-score but they don't take away from the overall performance which is always great. I'm thrilled for her that she had such a good worlds and came through in TF so well, doing herself a lot of favours for Rio.<br /><br />I actually think Afan should be out or the floor medals before Maggie should...Beautiful Gymnasticshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00935698970163328051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287202282884938977.post-40958296415336503562015-11-09T20:03:26.239+00:002015-11-09T20:03:26.239+00:00It's funny how people keep talking trash about...It's funny how people keep talking trash about Maggie she didn't do aa came back hit all her routines in team final. I'm sorry but Komova wasn't spot on either she had errors too her hand stands weren't spot on and I do believe Maggie had the best ub it's people who hate to see an American do well on bars and get a gold last I checked in team we were number 1 in finals giver her her do respect her floor was a beauty to watch and I do believe she should have gotten silver Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16783510473987104432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287202282884938977.post-56442632328135019602015-11-08T07:09:37.047+00:002015-11-08T07:09:37.047+00:00Wha - wait what...?

Her mu...I have to disagree with you as far as Afan. Her music, though it may not be your favorite, was spunky, sassy, unique, and intriguing, everything Afan is. Furthermore, to exclude someone from the podium due to their music choice would be ridiculous. Her landings were great because she fully controls her leap landings, not just her tumbles, which people forget to take into consideration. Her Layout and pike were not stuck as she usually does but her middle two passes were solid, and had no more than .3 off on the other two, definirely 15.1 worthy. Maggie always lands with her legs separated and makes landing adjustments. Her leaps are messy and of couse she doesnt have the insane technique that Afan does. Sae had the best tumbles but her choreo was SO lacking, I think she deserved bronze but of course she isnt big four so she was underscored compared to Maggie.Riennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287202282884938977.post-7804979678197940472015-11-05T18:47:02.947+00:002015-11-05T18:47:02.947+00:00On BB, I was so happy to see Sanne Wevers finally ...On BB, I was so happy to see Sanne Wevers finally get the medal she deserved on a world stage. Her routine is so risky and artistic that it feels good to see a routine like that get a medal. Simone's routine was fantastic as well and she is definitely superhuman - no huge bobbles and she nailed that full twisting dismount for a huge 15.358 (well deserved). For me personally, I wanted Vika to get a beam medal because of that fact that she actually fought for the landings to make sure she stayed on and her form is so beautiful. But I was equally happy to see Pauline Schaefer win a bronze and her tears of joy were endearing. <br /><br />On floor, I was gutted to not see Sae Miyakawa on the podium. I felt her tumbling form in the air was exquisite and who cannot resist a front layout to double front pass, ala Produnova! I felt like politics and favoritism definitely came into play in this final and some gymnasts might have been more overscored than others. Afanyseva's routine was weird with the music, although her carriage was exquisite, and her landings should not have given her the 15.1 that it deserved. I love Maggie Nichols, but her form in the air isn't as great as Sae's and I kinda felt her routine was just average in comparison. But she's a good gymnast so I have no hard feelings. Simone is Simone, period lol. Overall it was a good championships, I just wished the scoring was more consistent.

What an insult to Komova who has worked her butt off the years perfecting her technique. Kocian can't even put in five minutes to learn how to point her GD toes! Ew, very unhappy with that result.

But all 4?!?! Maddie and Daria seemed like they had more little breaks than the other two, but I'm not a judge so who knows. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
