Gymnastics: Strength, Agility, and Grace

Nationals

Posted by: rollypolly18 on: August 14, 2009

Ok…so to start off: the juniors

If it wasn’t obvious already, Kyla Ross is definitely the one to beat.  I think it’s weird that she was never really considered even after classics.

Yurchenko fulls (FTYs) just don’t make the cut.

Don’t fall.

Sabrina was good, but I thought she would place better.  I thought she would be one to fight for the stuck landings.

And now…drumroll please…for the Seniors.

I’m not sure Rebecca Bross is fully healed…& she definitely needed more training time on vault.  She really scared me with her beam dismount & her last pass on floor.  Still, her difficulty is impressive, and she did stay in the lead WITH a fall.

Ivana still needs to work with Valeri more on that tkatchev. Or just change it. Either way.  Her beam was much more solid than at classics.  Her vault and floor impress me.  I just love her lines!

Bridget. Shaky on beam.  To be expected after she fell so early, but I was hoping she would recover a little bit better.  Her vault was AWESOME!  Bars was scary on the piked ray, but she has great height.  I know that she has been busy competing around the world…but would it kill her to get a new floor routine? Just sayin.

Sam.  I love her. She is AMAZING. Her vault was a little off compared to classics, but not bad.  Her beam was (in my opinion) the best in the competition.  & her floor rocks.

Nastia. I have high expectations. Enough said.

Chellsie. What happened?  She seems a little off, although it was a great routine.  Oh, and why does she have .5 off on her routine?

Kayla Williams was great.  I love the fact that all of the commentators were speechless during her entire floor routine.  Made my day.  I hate them.  & her beam was right on too!

Kytra needs to upgrade her bars.  Come on, your from Hill’s!

Brooke Parker did pretty well minus the fall on beam.  She really impressed me & I hope she gets a spot on the team.

Up next: Best & worst leos of the competition!

Juniors:

Best: WOGA, Dynamic, AOGC, Capital, Naperville

Worst: GAGE, Texas Dreams, Brestyan’s (boring), Stars (boring), World Class (her boobs were barely covered!)

I am not a fan of mesh on the arms.  The seams are ridiculous.

Seniors:

Best: WOGA, CGA, Naperville, Sharp’s, Capital NTC

Worst: M&M, BIG, GAGE

Best hair:

Juniors: Pua Hall, Kyla Ross, Mack Brannan, Kennedy Baker

I don’t expect much.  Just a little somethin extra like a cute bow or maybe a braid.  Not overboard with juniors.

With seniors, I get bored easily.  They all seem to wear a poof with a straight ponytail.  Therefore I will do best and worst with seniors.

Best: Ivana, Sam, Bridget, Nastia? (her poof was a little over-the-top this time, but I liked the braid)

Worst: Jana, Rebecca (couldn’t you put some defrizzer in or straighten it or something? you look like you’re at another practice), Chellsie (plastered to your head doesn’t do anything for you)

Oh! and for 1 more best hair: Alicia Sacramone!

& 1 more worst: Armine Fong.

& NOW……….FINALLY. I will rant about the commentators.

Why is stupid John back?  He was not well received at classics.  If I hear the word tumultuous one more time I might puke.

Stupid Tim.  Shut up.  Your voice is gay, and you act like everyone is beneath you.

Stupid Elfi. Nobody cares what you think.  & stop praising gymnasts that don’t deserve it.

I miss Al.  At least his slight lack of knowledge allowed for him to treat viewers as if they were his equal.

Actually, nobody cares what any of you stupid commentators think, so could you just leave yourself and your opinions and experiences out of competitions from now on and just throw in a little-known fact about gymnastics for all of those one-time-a-year followers?

& don’t even get me started on Andrea Joyce.  She pisses me off more and more every time she interviews someone.  Why don’t we torment Mattie and Sam about the fact that they don’t get to compete?  & could she rip the microphone away from any more of the gymnasts?  Hello!  They are answering YOUR question!

Ugh.  Okay I’m done.
