[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Vanessa Ferrari and I'm so pleased that she finally got her medal (nothing worse than 2 4ths in a row). That said, her tumbling form is not as good as Jade's and her tumbling is not as hard as Jade's. Her presentation is *much* better, her dance form is typically better -- though Jade hit her positions sufficiently in the final to get full credit (why her D score was +.1 over prelims) -- and her landings were slightly better on 2 of 4 passes (.1 differences) and slightly worse on 1 (.1 difference). All that said, she had to make up .4 in E when her tumbling form is not as clean... with only .1 in landing difference, it wasn't going to happen. I hope Jade learns to emote if she sticks with elite -- she could learn so much from Vany, Gelya and the Gadirovas' performance ability -- but tumbling is still the most important thing in FX and her tumbling was both harder and cleaner.[/quote]

Good analysis.  Ferrari has been around forever it seems like!  I actually found it kind of creepy in team finals when Simone faltered on vault with Vanessa's "Time to Say Goodbye" playing in the background.[/quote]
