Can you show me a video of Jiang that shows similar quality to Ke? All I've seen from her is very junior in terms of skill selection (but great execution).

Her AA from last year's Jr. Worlds is on YouTube:



She's not quite at Ke Qinqin's level, but she's very promising. I love the back extension roll on beam. We don't see enough skills like that!

I see her as a legitimate contender for the Worlds team this year, or at least the Asian Games.

I really want to see Nemour and Ke fight it out for the world beam title this year. Two absolutely world class routines.

in other news I am now in love with Mohamed Afify lol, how did this happen again

 

[IratePanda]

A gold for Ke Qinqin, and two medals for Hillary Heron!

Oh, yes, Ke had another huge save on beam. I still love the fight, but I'd rather she didn't wobble in the first place!

This girl is getting criminally underscored over and over again. I just don't get it.

@Concorde would love your thoughts on this. Am I missing some new 25-28 deduction from somewhere? Her elements are picture perfect. I have very little on the elements themselves - its all just wobbles, pauses, rhythm and artistry. I fear she's getting Komova'd and a victim of not having a 0.05 deduction available - tiny little errors are magnified when everything else is so perfect.

 

[RichardL]

She's so exquisite. I haven't been this excited about a gymnast in ages. Surely only good things will come of this for me.

 

[Doug1233]

If anyone tries to say she's getting deductions on her Ring elements, I'll be throwing hands.

Maybe 0.1 for the first split ring for lack of head release concurrent with foot at Crown.

It is physically impossible to do a better Switch Ring than this:

Her splits and straddle are absolutely more than what's required.

I just don't get it. She had 0.5 for the wobble on the acro series and 0.3 for the step on the dismount. But a low 7? I am just not seeing how you can make up almost 2 points on pauses, rhythm and artistry.
