I wish there were more gymnasts like her, and I'm glad she was rewarded for her great execution.<br /><br />That said, I hope Lauren kicks ass in the event finals...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-75438678806525713692009-10-17T07:51:22.319+11:002009-10-17T07:51:22.319+11:00Woohoo, congrats Lauren!

I...Woohoo, congrats Lauren! Fantastic result!<br /><br />I'm not at all sorry about Tsurimi on the podium -- she is astonishingly clean, and I would greatly prefer to see more clean gymnastics. That being said, I would have burst with happiness if Lauren had gotten a medal.<br /><br />I love that Lauren has had two solid AA comps in such a short period -- it really shows that qualies was NO fluke. She is now a contender!<br /><br />YEEAAAHHHHH!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-49768578136327783632009-10-17T07:21:33.096+11:002009-10-17T07:21:33.096+11:00in the lead up to Beijing I don't think it was...in the lead up to Beijing I don't think it was ever really intended for Lauren to compete UB in TF, so the focus was much more on BB and FX. This year she upgraded VT but has said that her UB was mainly the same, no new elements only osme were rearranged. I'ld assume that her coaches know that UB is where she really needs to improve and over the next year we will see some upgrads, especially since her VT and BB for the most part are pretty maxed out.<br /><br />Interesting side note : The last major comp where someone with a FTY made the podium was 1993 :\Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-54844997606518384642009-10-17T07:15:55.446+11:002009-10-17T07:15:55.446+11:00She had a 6.5 a-score in 08, but they mustn't ...She had a 6.5 a-score in 08, but they mustn't have been consistent. I don't think she's improved that much to be honest. Her shoots are a little better and she has taken out the inside stalders she had trouble with but there's not that much that is different. She needs to think about training some high valued releases because her pirouetting technique isn't the greatest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-88049125584781797892009-10-17T07:10:43.352+11:002009-10-17T07:10:43.352+11:00Then again remember that Lauren did not even have ...Then again remember that Lauren did not even have bars for the Games last year so she has worked hard to get them up to the point where they are even worthy of an AA showingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-21338234217665985012009-10-17T07:09:12.150+11:002009-10-17T07:09:12.150+11:00Agreed.

I hope she is not too disappointed. <br /><br />I think the clearest thing is that she needs to work work work on bars. You cannot do well in AA without good bars - the top 3 on the podium had the top 3 UB scores of the night. Bars really let her down tonight.nade00noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-27446278042082211902009-10-17T06:54:53.433+11:002009-10-17T06:54:53.433+11:00Well Tsurumi hit to the best of her ability in eve...Well Tsurumi hit to the best of her ability in every routine.

To be the 4th best AAer in the world and almost medal at her first major AA comp is amazing. if she can continue to improve her UB she'll really be a threat in future comps. Her VT was being debuted and it did not disappoint.<br /><br />Here's hoping that she can bring it in the EFs and leave these World's with at least one medal.<br /><br />BTW this is the second best placing in the AA for an Aussie behind Monette 2005 bettering Dasha 06 by one spot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-84782879788732771322009-10-17T06:36:44.213+11:002009-10-17T06:36:44.213+11:00My apologies, I was looking at another gymnastMy apologies, I was looking at another gymnastAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-39045773596441533312009-10-17T06:35:17.841+11:002009-10-17T06:35:17.841+11:00Tsurumi did a FTY and scored 13.6.
