Wow that spin was amazing and her dance moves really go with the flow of the music!

[@gymbert13]

haha and 0:50 you can see valeri and chow, standing in the exact same position, haha cracks me up!!

[@auspicious93]

haha!

@@auspicious93 Chow: *smiles at Sam's routine going well* Valeri: *death stares* 🤣🤣

I know she was injured...but she should have been the 3rd floor person instead of Sacramone. Sacramone had built a record especially in this year that she was not consistent. They underscored Sam in this meet (well comparitivley to others since US Trials are almost .5 higher then they realistically should be). She has way more difficulty then Sacramone too...

[@lailsonnavarro1566]

yeah ! Sacramone wasnt consistent

[@artyowen92]

i love this routine and i love samantha!!

[@kimthreadgold2755]

Don't know how I missed her. She was outstanding. USA competition is brutal.

[@kayleewesley2297]

Love her beautiful smile

[@sqekcx]

Wow one of the highest scores I've ever seen on floor.

[@xGymCouture]

How Sam got a higher score on day 1 than day 2 is beyond me?!

[@ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@Gymnasticsbabex In the old code, I believe the leap would be .3 considering the fact that they allowed small steps and a shoulder width one would've been .3 back then.

[@kskglovesschool]

@eve9206 that's so true. Sam is amazing!!

[@TheGymnastic101]

espinaca79 that wasn't alicia's music Sam used a cut of "Whatever Lola Wants (Gotan Project Remix)" by Gotan Project - Samantha Peszek 2008 Floor Music Alicia's floor music was "Santa Maria" by Gotan Project - Alicia Sacramone 2008 Floor Music

[@floormusics]

no, it's called Whatever Lola Wants by Gotan Project

[@xNeedyou1]

she is so beautiful

[@comanecisalto1]

@MrJST94 she did, she just got injured and didnt compete

[@BravesGurl1983]

@comanecisalto1 I know! It sucked that she got hurt in Beijing! If not, I wonder if she'd have led off on beam instead of Alicia? Things might have been different... oh well... lol

[@joshgeddes9249]

She is good

[@jilliennelaque]

SAM ROCKS!!!!!! .........:)

[@ttigergomez619]

@nikirififo Shawn scoring more than 16 is not unreal. she is great in floor

[@YaYaPaBla]

Did Sam go to the Olympics?

[@ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@gymnastagirl141009 It's kind of hard to stick an Amanar -_-

[@Gymnasticsbabex]

@eve9206 i do agree with you, but i think shawns landings were better. On Sams double arabian she took at huge leap foward which must have cost at least 5 tenths, and if you add 5 tenths on to her score she would've have had 16.150 :/

[@isaacneaves4353]

0:50

[@KVHolland3]

@ttigergomez619 Bwahaha when she has a difficulty of 6.5 is it and with her whip over to triple twist explains it all...not to mention her leaps. USA Gymnastics at this level is almost all subjective...

[@MrJST94]

why she did not go to Beijing???

[@njs311]

that was good but i dont think it was worth the score that she got

[@espinaca79]

Unfortunately for Sam, she lacked a style of her own and dancing to Alicia's music did not help either.
