Can someone explain to me what a "lunge" out of the jump is and the difference between that and the jumps or leaps (like a stag jump/leap, I think it's called) that they are now allowed to do after their landings?
a lunge out of a landing (not a jump) is the step that women typically take after tumbling passes. this was changed in the 09-12 code, so women have to stick landings cold.
so some women connect their tumbling passes to jumps so they are easier to stick or so they can dance out of it without a landing deduction
So overscored!!!!! Whip to triple had perfect form, but a knee locked landing. Doesn't even hit the splits. Nastia won because of beauty, lines, and execution!
The 15.5 she got at the olympics for a cleaner routine was MUCH more accurate, Olympic trials and domestic competition scores are so weirdly unhelpfully inflated. A 9.6+ execution score is beyond absurd and that’s what Shawn got for floor both days
Why have we taken such a huge step backwards in floor music? This is gorgeous, so was Nastia Liukin's, so was Alicia Sacramone's. Compare it to the cheezy club mixes of today and its a bit saddening.
She never got the triple full all the way around but she was close. The problem was she took a big step out of it that should have been a deduction (.1-.3) for lack of control. I think she got screwed over on floor because the Olympic judges didn’t score her anywhere near as well as the domestic judges. At the Olympics they took off for the poor flexibility and uncontrolled landings when they didn’t in the US. She got a 16.2 in the US for this routine. She did better routines at the Olympics and got a 15.5. People thought she would win because they’d assume she’d het higher scores on floor (and the other events to a lesser degree.)
Such a wonderful routine but she was extremely overscored domestically. It did her no favors when she performed at the Olympics and she did not get the score she thought she would. She basically scored .5 less on floor at the Olympics than she thought she would. One of the reasons why she did not get the all around gold.

i know it sucks that she retired, i started crying when i heard the news
pretty bad landings…
I hate those people when someone they love retire and they start crying , it's just
They were good landings . . . in the 05-08 code you could lunge on your landings . . . now they have to be stuck cold or you get a deduction!!
Super fail! Awkward

I love Nastia but Shawn should have won the AA in Beijing
she almost made me die in flourishment from that routine!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!
unfortunately, she didn't. i was sooooooo looking forward to seeing her – but i'm glad she recovered well 🙂
I love Shawn but Nastia deserved her win. She was the better gymnast on that day.
How on earth did this score better than day 1. Her whip to triple was so much better day 1
Whats the start value!?

I Love You Shawn!!!!!!! You are so AWESOME!!!!

you are so amazing what you can do I wish I could do that I only can do the bars and the beams and I have been studying on you for 2 years so much
I loved this floor music
16.2? Lol
Who watched this after reading The Flipside? She actually did wear a purple leotard, and her last pass was a full twisting double back!!!!!!!
OVERSCORED
if you're a gymnast what's your fave event and your most high scoring event comment down below

If Shawn did a double L spin instead of a full during floor finals in Beijing, she would've won against Sandra

I've always loved her choice of music for this routine.
I love how she points her toes in her double double.

very immature music selection. No artistry.
