This makes me want to cry. Komova was the best in the world, but she was so delicate. She lost confidence so quickly. I still think the 2011 worlds should have been here over Jordan.

Every crowd absolutely loves her! In this one you can notice it quite often they were cheering her hard for every moves!

The crowd knew good when they saw it and these juniors I mean Komova is in a class of her own. Sad her Olympics went the way that it did. But she was she amazing.

El mundo fue testigo de la mejor gimnasta que se ha visto en mucho tiempo, pero los jueces tan generosos y serviles con los gringos, se encargaron de opacarla. Pero no se puede tapar el sol con un dedo. Pasarán décadas y seguiremos hablando de esta chica y sus hermosa gimnasia, mientras que las chicas que la "derrotaron" van quedando cada día más en el olvido.

Is it a hot take that I like the downgrading and consequential reduction in Amanars? In 2012 you HAD to have one to be competitive for AA gold. And it didn't look safe for many with how the knees wobble on impact, or some twisted it into the mat, and of course you have many ACL tears like Mustafina and Andrade

The bars are a set distance although they are adjustable which is used for training. You will notice that taller gymnasts will spread their legs as they do giants on the high bar.

Do you mean the "penalties" section on the scorecard? Because that section is dedicated solely to neutral deductions e.g. stepping out of bounds. None of her mistakes fell under that category, and thus all her deductions were factored into the execution score
