It wasn't until Spain finished that I realized I had been completely transfixed by their routine. Everything from costuming, to choreo, to the vivid neons in their ribbons just made them absolutely enthralling to watch. All of these ladies were incredible, no doubt, but Spain blew me away.

Russia’s performance in Hoops and Clubs is out of this world! Very complex routine!

[@ScragsP22]

My favorite sports in the Olympics have always been gymnastics, diving and swimming but always gymnastics first. I always thought rhythmic gymnastics was a watered down version of real gymnastics for athletes who couldn’t get to the higher elite tiers but now I see I was incorrect. In all fairness though they don’t do much for themselves as a sport as far as PR goes. People either don’t realize it exists or know very little about the sport. Why aren’t these amazing athletes talked about much or get much advertisement if at all? I just happened to come across this video and I’m blown away. This looks beautiful and extremely difficult. It’s enchanting and lovely to watch. I can’t imagine how hard getting all of that down to perfection would be. I get tangled up just trying to use a roll of scotch tape.

[@Johnnythemodestmouse]

I really think judges wanted Russia to win pretty bad, I accept Russia's second routine was far better than any other team but Spain deserve more than 17.9 for their 2nd routine, just because they went first to perform, judges were more stingy with their scores, they definitely deserved at least between 18.2-18.4

In both of their routines/ Me personally I thought Russia deserved the Silver Medal not the gold medal. Which makes me assume they could’ve given Yana the gold medal and not to Margarita…. Why so forgiving to the Russian team in the group all round and not Yana in the individual event….I mean it just doesn’t make sense! Plus she only made one mistake instead of several. I don’t want the excuse of because of the difficulty! Yana had more difficulty in her hoop, ball, club and ribbon routine then Margarita’s

Russia really got a gift on that ribbons routine. They struggled with that performance all season and this was one of their weakest outings. They had an obvious drop at the beginning and multiple clear fumbles and aborted tosses. The judges did them a huge favor, allowing them to take the lead with a brilliant 3+2 performance, which was really well done. But that they were able to win primarily off the strength of one performance is not a great look. 😬
