rene ruiz Actually, I did mean the entire American continent. And I do know "America" is the name of the continent. I live in it. I also know that "America" is also an idiom commonly used to refer to people from the United States...so I don't know what your point really is. Mine was that Ksenia Afanasyeva displayed beautiful artistic gymnastics and that it was rewarded, hence why she received the gold medal. Please go troll somewhere else and pick fights where fights need to be picked.
Don't you guys think you're being disrespectful to others? I mean, it's OK if you would rather the beautiful, soft, classic Russian style; but gymnastics is not specific to one style, they're all different and there's no the best one.
*****, I don't see any "poorly performed" skill. These classical gymnastics have great dance capabilities, indeed. But there's also tumbling, and it's where usually the powerful gymnast shine. But that doesn't mean a classical gymnast can't tumble as good as, or a powerful gymnastics can't dance as decent as. I'm sorry, I just think it's so rude to think one certain style/body line/music culture is better than the other. Sounds like prejudice!
incredible! she was first artistic gymnast performance i saw(london 2012) loved her ever since. re watched her perormance many times and a lot time after i started to observe a gymnastics. she has such a amazing tehnique, perfect 4th position
i love how her leap series goes completely with the music! it is this attention to detail that is unmatched by even the current standard of Russian floor. i was so happy to see her win, especially with a routine as beautiful and confident.
🤩WOW!!! Smooth transitions...music, dance, and acrobatics were amazing and leaves you wanting more of her little here and there tricks...the Russians choreography is strong and beautiful 🤩
What a clean routine, and she's not full recovered yet. Russia is so proud today. Imagine people, if Masha had done her job, all the events would have been Russia's.
Mausolo M Masha did her job! The silver medal on AA was the hardest to win from all of the medals! And btw, the medals don't belong to Russia, but to the gymnasts!
simozimo09 She did not do her job on the beam final where she had no competitors, it was all about mind strenght, and what you said is partially right, the gymnast is the first one who deserves the honor, but they have bunches of trainers formed in an ancient great school of gymnastics that has to be recognised, Rossya of course..
Superb to gain 5 tenths from the qualification score! I think with a few more squat sessions in the gym, she could easily add a full twist to that DLO...she's a complete floor worker but if she wants to challenge for Gold at Rio, she'd have to up her physical strength. Brilliant FX here though
Beautiful job. With that said, the music and choreography just didn't personally "wow" me like her 2014 gold title or her olympic floor routine. I think the music is very boring here and doesn't fit her style. I know she is coming off of injuries and her tumbling is the same as it always has been but this routine lacks that edginess she usually brings. And that tattoo GOOD GRIEF GEEESH! Sorry to say, but I think it really takes away from her beauty and femininity.
Love you Queen Afan but what's with the bad case of busted wrists? She doesn't have them all the time but ugh! I still want to unstuck them during her salutes lol Lovely routine overall. It is refreshing to see this type of routines win the gold but of course this won't happen at worlds...
The things she has to upgrade is the coreography, to be Afanasyeva floor routine, it looks without the attitude like his floor in london, or the Worlds of 2011, but good work, the things maybe she has connect are his turns, and change the double pike for a full twisting double pike, like she done in Beijing. And certainly, with his amazing execution, she can challenge acrobatic Biles for Floor.
AFAN JUST KILLED EVERYTHING. Im still screaming about this routine and HER LEO YES MY QUEEN
My favorite floor performer since 2011. Her grace is unparallelled.
Wow, this is a fantastic routine, much cleaner than the one she did at the 2015 World Championship.
Her artistry is stunning
Real artistry. Deserved to win.
Nothing like the cheerleader gymnastics from America.
rene ruiz Well said, greetings from Mexico :D

Her win the competition.
Best floor routine EVER! So sad she is retired now.
Одна из самых сильных российских гимнасток в вольном упражнении как минимум😍
cute how Frags is intently watching her and cheering her on
i love how her leap series goes completely with the music! it is this attention to detail that is unmatched by even the current standard of Russian floor. i was so happy to see her win, especially with a routine as beautiful and confident.
Умница и Красавица наша Ксюша !! РОССИЯ ЛУЧШАЯ .
Алекс Леший Наша гордость! Сила и грация, красота и элегантность, сложность и женственность - это наша Ксения!!!!!
🤩WOW!!! Smooth transitions...music, dance, and acrobatics were amazing and leaves you wanting more of her little here and there tricks...the Russians choreography is strong and beautiful 🤩
Una presencia artistica maravillosa, bravoooo🤗🤗🤗
The most beautiful floor nowadays. Bravo!!!!!!
Enchanting. Brilliant routine.
God that ending pose is just beautiful 😱
LOVE Everything about this!!! The performance, the leo, the hair, the neck tattoo all seem to perfectly embody Afanasyeva and the "new" Russia.
she's so gorgeous! the way she moves! 😍
As always, very elegant!
fist pumping occured when she stuck that last pass.
So glad she's back. the team needs her
Queen Kseniia ♥
Best performance ever!!! So beautiful!!
Wonderful
The judge is really tight about the scores!! She is very determined!! Great work!! And the leotard is new, new combination of colors!!
She's so elegant! American gymnasts could never ever...
there's always something super exciting when amazing gymnasts use music from amazing games. Just saying.
I miss this
Why is it that when she goes last she gives a great performance and when she goes first she always messes it up?
Afanasyeva is the gymnast who loves to know exactly what she needs!! Going last she knew what she had to score and she did it!!
happy she take the gold, but she really need to do more for podium in wolds and next olympics
What a clean routine, and she's not full recovered yet. Russia is so proud today. Imagine people, if Masha had done her job, all the events would have been Russia's.

Hermosa rutina ❤❤❤
I like her tattoo!!
☺
Wow beautiful! She reminds me of Bogi 🥰
Great!
#tbt to kesenia's good music in 2015
Superb to gain 5 tenths from the qualification score! I think with a few more squat sessions in the gym, she could easily add a full twist to that DLO...she's a complete floor worker but if she wants to challenge for Gold at Rio, she'd have to up her physical strength. Brilliant FX here though
Much better than 2012..
Like a balerine ❤️.
Muy buen gimnasta felicidades
Parcă-i o rândunică Xenia Afanasaeva. Big Like.
Why was her start value point 2 higher than in qualification?
One of her D-level double turns (probably her first one in L position) was devalued to B difficulty, which is 0.2 lower.
😍
It’s a real shame she didn’t make it to Rio, she’d have killed it on floor there.
Beautiful job. With that said, the music and choreography just didn't personally "wow" me like her 2014 gold title or her olympic floor routine. I think the music is very boring here and doesn't fit her style.

DaneilRC Biles has amazing execution too
She can change the layout after 2.5 twists to a full twist which had done in Beijing!
Ксения - одна из самых грациозных гимнасток.
