It’s incredible to think that, just seven years later she would defeat one of the most loaded balance beam final lineups in a long time and claim gold. Such a beautiful, stylish and classical gymnast.

It's a bit surreal watching this. Sanne has been a senior gymnast since 2007, but she never had much recognition being from a country that didn't make team finals or qualify to the Oympics(until this year). No one would have guess she'd win a gold medal in Rio. It's unusual a gymnast winning their first world or olympic medal so far into their career. It's a great thing though, and I love that we are getting older gymnasts sticking around. Becky Downie having gotten a lot of recognition, two European bars titles all in her 3rd quad, as another example.

wow amazing spins!
