[@rhythmicmusicswap4173]

am i the only one who really apprecciated her growing up? i mean ,obviusly not only her mid changed from 2008, but her body too,and especially her last 2 years of her carrers i felt she tocued others levels of artistry,i saw a young and beatuifuk woman and gymnats of the carpet with a developed feminity and elegance

[@eliasnh1000]

I can agree that her body difficulty isn't the best but its not bad, her body difficulty in 2008\9. Was better but her equipment handling is much better now. Her artistry is amazing simply because she has grown up from a 18 year old teen to a 20 year old WOMAN, her womanly like body and femininity give character to her routines which makes her stand out from the others. This routine made me cry, It deserved 1st place idc!

Fabuloso. Nunca vi gimnasia artistica hasta las Olimpiadas de Londres, pero gracias a Zhenya que desde ahora la empiezo a seguir... Pueden decir que no ejecuta perfecto los aparatos, pero debo decir que de todas las gimnastas que vi es la unica que emociona verla, simplemente es la mejor!!!!, saludos desde Argentina!!!

[@cucharitalinda]

[@Kayla13love1]

Wow! If I tried that I would just get tangled -.-

@cosmos0117 Mainly, my qualms lie with the judges and not with the gymnasts themselves. I do a lot of video analysis and find a lot of discrepancies in scores amongst privileged gymnast. But I understand that RG is very political (but DEFINITELY think Genia has earned most of her accolades, compared to some other gymnasts). Thankyou for the link, I'm for sure going to watch all of the ribbon final and see how the routines compare!

[@Balletbelle320]

@cosmos0117 NO i agree, i wasn't necessarily saying she didn't derserve this win, just that it wasn't a 29, and she is capable of performing better to earn it. And I haven't watched the entire final so its possible that all the scores were inflated. I don't care if the judges are harsh or forgiving, as long as they are consistent with all the gymnasts. Normally I tend to find that the judges are forgiving with certain gymnast, then harsh with others, which makes the overall competition unfair

[@Balletbelle320]

@cosmos0117 I completely agree with you that this is her best ribbon routine thus far, and definitely in my top 5 favorite for this cycle ( also delphine's ribbon has superb composition)! I almost never have and issue with her artistry score, i think its worth every penny, but the other areas need to be judged too. And if she can perform this routine with her full capability then she should definitely be in first place. However on this day, at this competition, it wasn't her best. :/

[@Balletbelle320]

She was a stronger competitor in 2008. She fought for her routines. Now she is still a great performer but she doesn't complete her difficulties. Just in this routine, there were a couple of difficulties that were incomplete, not to mention little execution errors. All-in-all, not a 29 routine.

[@Balletbelle320]

@cosmos0117 And I do think her artistic ability has done nothing but grow since 2008. But I still feel she has been not as consistent with her difficulties. I have watched most of her competitions this season, and sometimes she nails and sometimes she doesn't. And it has been evident, she has dropped on the FIG world ranking from the #1 spot to #4 (kondakova 1, dmitrieva 2, lubov 3). Kondakova is a whole nother topic(I much prefer genia's artistry).
