2021 Russian Cup (June 8-12) -- last Russian competition before Tokyo, besides videoless verification meets

Agreed. The wolf turn needs to go. Her routine was excellent up to that point. A simple pretty full turn and get off. That’s most often her mistake.

 

[irichluck21]

Yes. 9.700
Who knows if judges took for distance or dynamics. I don’t see the need to.

I also wish that the vault judging would allow for yurchenko fulls to get a 9.700 or 9.800 but most hve built in deductions do to height, distance, and dynamics because generally someone doing a FTY doesnt have the power to do more.

 

[Jack]

What the hell is up with that Sheep jump? It’s a closed hip flexor mess. It’s got to be getting a ton of deductions for not being worth very much at all.

 

[onodian]

Btw I’m always super impressed zubova’s onodi, the way she pauses dead in handstand. I’m sure y’all will deduct for lack of precision/ rhythm blasphemy/ non-horizontalness. Just let me live my fantasy

Is it actually an “onodi” if you pause in handstand?

 

[Marcio_Custodio]

Isnt it a worley?

 

[arabiandoublefront]

I thought that’s an Onodi to two feet.

 

[onodian]

Yes, a worley is when the gymnast lands on two feet and proceeds to be insufferable about how great she could have been if it wasn’t for the timing of her injury. I always thought mikayla would do a great worley. Probably nabieva too.

 

[onodian]

I actually really loved worley’s fx music in 07. That code was awful but she managed to make something out of the routine. I just went and rewachted.

 

[Marcio_Custodio]

Team named: urazova, melnikova, listunova, Gerasimova, iliankova and akhaimova.
They Will decide who Will Go as individual and team later.

 

[Jack]

Never forget.

 

[onodian]

OH. MY. GOD.

This happened in my off-gym years. This has to be the weirdest, saddest fall ever. Until we get to Russia tf bb these Olympics of course and one of this bunch trips walking onto the podium

 

[RedBirdie]

That fall encapsulated Worley’s elite career.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

They took out Melnikova’s split jump 1/2 crossways and put back in the not-credible ring jump. Yay.

 

[glamafonic]

Why would they put a ring jump back in. Are they trying to sabotage her?

 

[lovegymnasts]

I think it’s credible
arch
head release
front leg horizontal
back foot to head
180 degrees

 

[makam]

I appreciate how fast she gets that wolf spin over with.

Also, us nationals needs a mascot.

 

[FrolovasDoubleLayout]

Agreed - credit with a body shape deduction.

 

[Doug1233]

Lollllll that’s so good

 

[Doug1233]

That’s TOTALLY creditable.
