1. He Kexin ( CHN )  A-score: 7.7, B-score : 9.025, total- 16725 2. Nastia Liukin ( USA )  A - score: 7.7, B- score: 9.025, total - 16725 3. Yang Yilin ( CHN )  A-score: 7.7, B-score: 8.950, total - 16650 4. Beth Tweddele (GBR) 5. Anastasiia Koval ( UKR) 6. Ksenia Semenova ( RUS ) 7. Steliana Nistor ( ROU ) 8. Dariya Zgoba (UKR) I was shocked to see the result showed He Kexin and Nastia’s was a tiebreaker but gold medal went to He Kexin. Immediately I started thinking about Johnny’s situation at last US Nationals’s tie breaker. And wonder how Johnny is feeing seeing this result. Nastia looked frustrated and disappointed after knowing this result. It’s a tie , why they don’t make a rule to give two gold medals to both of them for tie ? However, seeing all the gymnasts performances, what I thought was they should not give Nastia and He Kexin same scores, because I thought He Kexin’s was doing more difficult movements, twisted her body backwards after doing ...

Vault Result -  1. Hong Un Jong (PRK) 2. Oksana Chusovitina (GER) 3. Cheng Fei (CHN) 4. Alicia Sacramone (USA) 5. Ariella Kaslin ( SUI ) 6. Carlotta Giovannini (ITA) 7. Jade Barbosa ( BRA) 8. Anna Pavlova (RUS) Hmm.. I felt sympathy for Alicia could not make medal for this because I thought she did better than Cheng Fei. Cheng Fei did good job in her first vault but in the second vault, she fell. And Alicia didn’t make a big mistake for both of them. It was hurt to see Alicia tears and disappointed. I would give Alicia over Cheng Fei for this. Also I felt bad for Anna Pavlova (RUS). The broadcast didn’t show her performances , and just showed only the scores and the scene Anna was talking with her coach with disappointed face. Seems like she started before the green light which showed ready sign was up and got a big deduction for it. And as a result she had disqualified for the second vault due to a false start. But it was great to see the 33 years old lady who i...

It’s a shame that NBC broadcast showed only American and Chinese teams and didn’t show much for Russian and Romanian teams because I guess they were competing at the same time as Chinese and American teams. So I saw only one Romanian gymnast doing uneven bar. And right before the Romanian girl start , they showed Nadia Comaneci in the arena audience. Looked like she was with her son. (maybe ?) It was so nice to see Nadia supporting her own country’s team there. She is still keeping her beautiful looking. Even though they showed only a few seconds, I thought she has impact and has charisma, very attractive and cool. I wanted them to show her more. They also showed two Russian gymnasts, Sennya and Anna. I thought , Sennya ’s face looks like a twin version of Tatiana Navka ( Russian ice dancer ) . Very pretty ! She did good job, however was nothing special for her style and movements. My favorite so far is Nastia Liukin from the U.S.A. She is great ! When I saw two of her p...
