EF day 2 euros

[RAFIKI]

I really like this routine’s vibe. I’ve seen some call it lift musak but it’s refreshingly different for me.

 

[Livi]

Yes! She’s so clean. Too bad she stepped out on the last pass

 

[QuietColours]

Looked like Melnikova kept it on the line

 

[Livi]

Melnikova’s leo just blends in with the floor. Clean work from her, she looked a little nervous

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Ooh, 13.9 for Melnikova keeps it wide open! I’m glad, it’ll be more fun this way.

Nagornyy survived. Now go home and sleep, king.

 

[QuietColours]

Oh, no, Heduit hurt on her first pass

 

[Livi]

Nooo carolan hurt her knee

 

[QuietColours]

Oh, that replay. It was locked legged real time, but that was really locked and both hyperextended

 

[Livi]

Oof that replay doesn’t look good. Hopefully she’s okay

 

[mnesiptolema]

Lock-legged on the landing. My goodness. I hope she’s not too badly hurt; she’s lucky she didn’t break them

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

She walked off, so I’m hoping that’s a good sign.

 

[Livi]

Rough from Ahmet Onder. Three falls and then decided to dismount (or maybe he was actually finished)

 

[QuietColours]

Couldn’t tell either. Wouldn’t blame him if he did finish early–if he just 100% not in the right place mentally/physically, better to be safe

 

[Livi]

No medals for Listunova other than her gold in the AA. Quite an uncommon statistic I guess

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Listunova just fell on a short triple twist and that one actually looked quite nasty at first. She was evidently fine, but the landing was awkward. That fucking lighting.

 

[QuietColours]

It made me gasp too. I would like the rest of the floor finalists to get through without major threat to their knees, please.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Today I am all about Team Tendon.

 

[RAFIKI]

Hmmm Kvasha 2004 was the first that came to mind (though not really as that was in the days of full Euros so she got a team medal). Fun question to think about, will dredge my brain for results.

 

[QuietColours]

“This is a place where the number is a meaningless thing. What matters is the gymnast. What always matters.”

I do appreciate Olly

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

There’s Gabby in 2012 and Khorkina in 03, but I don’t know if we’re counting competitions other than Euros?
