Thank you.

Bravo. Instead of owning your mistake, you're actually trying to defend your ignorance, because it's cool to not know anything. And randomly insulting the other guy too, good job.

Gee Wiz sorry I'm not a gymnastics nerd. No I don't know what a rolling hippopotamus somersault frying pan is, and I don't care. I wrote that comment a long time ago when people actually cared about gymnastics and the olympics. Get over yourself.

Minacious, Yilin's routine only looks simple if you're a yokel who knows nothing about gymnastics who's watching it for all the pretty flips. Tell the truth now. Know what a pak salto is? El grip? Cowboy? Know how many tenths of a point are deducted for what errors? Then kindly hush, and think carefully about how a routine with the SAME START VALUE could possibly be "A LOT MORE SIMPLE."Sheesh.

ya, i also tot yang yilin would win gold. in my opinion, she executed her routine better than anyone.

I think I see what ejwc is saying about releases. She sometimes gets too close to the bar on her pak salto but has good height. Her gienger is high + connected w/ pirouette series so its awesome but her Tkatchev isnt as high. I think she has beautiful form though and love her Ono and pirouetting. She works hard on those bars and her routine and He's are awesome. But I agree with alexgym since He and Nas have more variety so they are awarded even w/ minor form errors in such a close competition.

she does a nice pak but i never thought she got that high on her gienger or especially her tkatchev. i guess my last comment made it seem like i don't like nastia. i think she's a great gymnast and bar worker & i was pulling for her in the AA. i just don't like her bar work as much as others. youre right that it was so close it came down to the judges preference which makes since b/c kexin and nastia's routines are more unique. i just thought yilin executed her routine better than both.

alexgym09 (December 31, 1969 at 5:59 pm)

really? because I have never seen another gymnast get more height on a gienger or pak than nastiaI think because those three were so close, that what made the difference in the end in terms of medals was simply the judges preference, i.e. originality and routine composition. Even though yang yilin performed very well, she doesn't have as much variety as nastia and he and that's why I think the judges didn't favor her

ejwc10 (December 31, 1969 at 5:59 pm)

yes i remember watching and after yilin's routine i was like oh she won gold! i was surprised at her score,her routine was SO pretty. He kexin's routine is really thrilling and yang yilin's is more elegant. i am a big nastia fan but i have to agree that her uneven bar work is not that pretty. ugly dismount and she doesn't get high on her releases which bothers me. but anyways i though semyonova could have medaled too. she is a nice bar worker.

Agree with bart conner and with most of you guys. Yang Yilin was the best by far because of her beautiful execution. But, as some other say too, I think that He Kexin and Tweedle should have had higher SV if the code were rightly written.1. Yang Yilin2. HE Kexin3. Liukin or Tweedle
