[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say that Douglas, Weiber, and Raisman were graceless. 
Only Mustafina combined grace with power. 
The other graceful ones kept falling. [/quote]

I would say, Weiber was the worst. Her routine was just jumps with really heavy landings. Thump! Thump![/quote]

To be fair, floor exercise no longer requires you to be very graceful.  Jordyn has a muscular tumbler's body, not a ballerina's.  She's built for vault and floor ex.  Kyla Ross is built more for beam and bars, which is why she was on the team.

Jordyn just did NOT have a good meet.  Poor thing.  She was good during team competition, which is when they needed her most.

I don't particularly like Raisman's floor ex.  The weird shoulder move was just not needed.  I don't understand how they put together routines that don't seem to go with the music at all.  She had some dance moves in there that worked, and some that didn't.  However, she nailed all the stuff that mattered, and this is why she won a gold.  I was pretty happy for Catalina, though - I love that she was able to compete with the teenagers and look great doing it with her grown-up self.

You know who is REALLY odd looking?  That Italian chick.  It's like her chest and legs are connected.  Short-waisted doesn't even cover it.[/quote]
