the Brazil's coach decided to re-create Barcelona 1992, by pulling Flavia and putting Jade in. and now Jade can't finish. so if I am Flavia i am the ever living pissed off, and will smite the world on beam in EF ;)

I still don't understand how anyone roots for Simone to fail, so disappointed in Horton. 

If Simone hits beam and floor, she'll win by at least 1 point.

 

He wants it to be competitive, he isn't rooting against Simone. If anything, it's the opposite. He's very pro-American. 

Other than that balance check (I guess .30), Simone KILLED beam. And with her killing beam, she'll probably win by 2 points, since Aliya's floor is so weak.

Simone had a little wobble on one landing, but stuck the dismount. 15.433

Mustafina needs a 15.8 on beam to overtake Simone. Not happening as I don't think anyone has a 15.8 on beam.

so noted @PoshSprinkles ;-) 
I miss Shannon Miller style beam. (as well as Humphries, she was good, and Elise Ray...). Flavia's is nice. I liked some Chinese throughout the years. 

Miller's '92 routine is one of my all-time favorites. So artistic and difficult. I think beam is so hodgepodge now because of the code. I liked Patterson's on '04 as well. She has such a lightness and while it wasn't completely jam packed like Ponor's I think Patterson would have won beam had she not hoped her dismount. Her lightness compared to Ponor's heaviness and very low sloppy dismount was so much better.

I did, too. Maybe it's because the form was better back then. That's why I miss compulsories so much.

Me too. honestly, especially now how they spread out gymnastics entering the 2nd week - there is no reason why they can't do compulsories. even start the day/two before the olympics start, get it in, use 50% of Comps for Qualifications, and off you go.
