dcro 10,189 Posted November 3, 2018 #272 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Meh, this routine had very little risk landings. Kind of like GB winning team eventing gold while all of them didn't even think about attempting the hardest jump on course... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her ring leaps are perfect, and she cannot see the beam when she lands them what makes it more difficult to perform. The flow of the routine is just superb. Her difficulty score (6.3) is the highest among all of the competitors. What are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several times she either crouched or sat with beam between her legs (not sure what's the name of that position ). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably like what they did for handball wch few years ago... invite lots of foreign fans with all traveling and accommodation costs covered.

Several times she either crouched or sat with beam between her legs (not sure what's the name of that position ). This is the straddled position. She usually lands on her feet and then connects an element performed in straddled position, so she can earn one more tenth, usually. This is what some fans call "code whoring", i.e., using what is allowed in the code of points to the fullest to earn more points even if the element is seemingly unnecessary and not pleasing to the eye. Another common form of code whoring is using a static jump after landings on floor, or a series of one-arm pirouettes on the uneven, even though the elements look the same (90% of the female Chinese gymnasts do this). dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gymnastics is a lot like figure skating in terms of dedicated fans. Earlier today I watched men's short program from Helsinki. And it became obvious that the home viewers are a minority once Yuzuru Hanyu came out. So. Many. Japanese. flags. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'll buy fans from all over the world , from Japan , China , USA , Russia , etc Those foregners even if they're not intersted in Gymnastics they're intersted to see their countrymen and cheer for them Edited November 3, 2018 by thepharoah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
