And I love the russian and german girls, specially Elizabeth Seitz, Aliya Mustafina and Viktoria Komova, because they are likeable besides talented. And I prefer the BBC commenters over the americans or any other.

grishina refused to do beam because she freaked out, plain and simple. had nothing to do with floor. it came out that her coaches pandered to her insecurities, which isn't her fault but the coaches's fault. when alexandrov spoke out about all this (in addition to other things), he was sacked as the russian national coach. she had A LOT of pressure and expectations put on her, despite not having much experience, in addition to personal pressures outside of gymnastics. she baulked under pressure.

I love Aliya she's a beautiful gymnasts, and honestly I don't know why people make her out to be such a devil. I mean she does have a forceful personality, but she is the leader of the team, and at any rate I admire her character. She's tough and that an admirable quality in a gymnast.

I think that she will try for Rio and probably make the team but she is going to have to work against her body. From 2011 to 2012 alone she grew a lot and with the time she is taking off now she could grow more. But if she wants an AA gold I think that she will have to upgrade. She not only did poorly on the vault in AA finals but also lost significant difficulty to Gabby. Those tenths really do add up.
@chrissyjoy0812 жыл бұрын
It could be...but I don't really think so, since they'd probably already know that even before their subdivision started....think about how quickly that news went viral! Maybe Mustafina is telling Komova that she could be/is in first place qualifying for the all-around.

Where did you get that info from about Grishina? BTW: she couldn't have refused to do beam based on her floor performance, because beam was before floor. I don't know why they didn't use Komova on the floor in the team finals. I liked her routine in the AA. Grishina's was also good here in quals, though. And really, either way, a hit routine from Grishina or Komova wouldn't have gotten team Russia gold, with the other mistakes they already had. Oh, and I totally agree with you about Mustafina.

@ponyrider35 Because there were so many teams competing in qualifying, they had 5 subdivisions. Only one team (or mixed group) per apparatus competed in each subdivision. All the scores of every team in the qualifying rounds were compared, and then the top 8 teams go to the team finals. In the team finals, there are the top 8 teams competing, 2 teams on each apparatus. The mixed groups that you see in quals don't count for team score, only to get individual gymnasts into the event finals.
