I like Barbosu's routines in general. They are original and well constructed. Gone are the Belu days where all Romanians had exactly the same routines.

No immediate medal ceremony? My five year old is upset.

I haven't been following the scoring closely lately, so I'm watching a bit like a layman. I thought Evans would go in first. Feels like Ana has little things in her routing that bring her SV up by a lot even if her jumping passes don't feel as hard.

Barbosu really shone here. She must be so proud!!!!

Loved this FX but she looks like a junior, which technically she is.

Sorry to spam this thread, but has Melanie DJDS retired?

Didn't she train an Amanar at some point?

I don't know what the coaching situation is like and I was worried since the Dutch trainer left, but they seem to be doing well again.

That's so true. I remember her as a bundle of nerves!!!

Will it be bronze AGAIN for Barbosu?

Golgota should be so proud of herself for getting to this level in such a short amount of time. Onwards from here!!!! Go Denisa. She has also grown to be a beautiful young woman.

Esposito off!! Damn. I really wanted her to win this. She seems to lose steam easily. It was the same in Paris, she couldn't keep it together after their team medal.

I really love Nina's calmness and determination. But I don't love her beam routine. That wolf turn was horrible.

I agree the team is building momentum and it's Barbosu who is leading it, not Sabrina. I absolutely loved seeing Golgota back. I don't know what Sabrina needs but the mother-daughter coach-coachee isn't it.

I'm so impressed by Golgota's comeback. I never would have expected a Romanian gymnast to (be welcome to) come back, and to look this good. The only other example of that would be Ponor but she was already very successful.
