Semenova did that dismount that Dandan does, but I think hers was piked.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU that’s so nice of all you guys! I /am/ obsessed haha. And I do hope next year I’ll have an even bigger reason to be 😉
And I tooooootally agree with the Russian team and just.. how they looked at their competition and how they were OK with the result. Khorkina obviously is somewhat more knowledgable about the Russian gymnastics situation, but at the same time, as you said, she’s from a different generation. She’s not a gymnast anymore, she has no idea what living at Round Lake is at this time. She doesn’t know. So her opinion about all of this is about as legit and important as any of ours. And definitely LESS important than for example Aliya’s right now, who is, once again, carrying the team. Which Khorkina never really had to do. So I mean, I guess I love Khorkina as much as anyone (not really bc she was overscored at Euros 2002 so Verona van de Leur got second which was undeserved – I’m still mad about that) but if Aliya is happy, then we should be content with that.
Also to comment to Sara above, Semenova’s dismount was an Arabian double pike (starting in regular grip from a backward giant), whereas.. I don’t know how Dandan’s dismount should be named, but starts from L grip (I think) from a forward giant. So it’s a different dismount. I don’t think anyone else does it.. but I guess it’s in the code already? I looked and it looks like Dandan’s dismount is number 6.408 (D) where Semy’s is 6.507.(E)
I WAS SQUEALING SO HARD WHEN GREBYONKIN WAS STANDING LIKE THAT I CRIEEEEED LAUGHING OMGGGGGGG he looked so done that entire ceremony.
I am definitely doing the “whoosh whoosh” along with Kyla after her second pass…every, single, time.
and probably also Larissa’s little hand corner dance when the music does the din, din, din, din, dinnnn!
