She absolutely epitomises gymnastics in every way, and but for her faulter on vault she would have walked away with the win. <br /><br />She's elegant, expressive, powerful and graceful all at the same time, with extensions to die for. We don't see that in Gabby's gymnastics and for that reason alone, I would have loved to have seen her take the gold. Nevertheless the best 2 gymnasts were up there though imo, and I have to feel for Ali Raisman missing out on the bronze even though her score was identical to Mustafina's.

It is just the ones who do well that advance. America has a wide range of body types. If you think about the likes of Liukin, Johnson, Sacramone, Memmel, Raisman, Douglas - they all have quite different body types, but they are all able to play to their strengths and do well. <br /><br />Limiting your program to certain body types is just a bad idea and may mean that you miss out on a top gymnast.Jasonnoreply@blogger.com
