For people who say Nastia's legs were glued together, some of the time they were. If you watch this routine from the BBC angle, you will see that her legs do separate during her pirouette sequence. But her execution is NOT flawless. If it was, she would've had a 10. She caught the bar with bent elbows on both her transitions up to the high bar, she had flexed feet on her inbar stalders, leg separation going into the tkatchev and on her pirouettes if you count those (not sure if the judges did), that final pirouette before her geinger looked late, and her dismount was disguisting. Those frog legs and flexed feet as well. Legs aren't the only thing that determine if execution is flawless.
Fitting music, fits the situation and the routine! That's the French floor music for you :P! Her best set at 08, shame she missed her half pirouette on the low bar in event finals...
It may be a technique, but it means her legs are not glued together. Including when she wings to pirouette or kip up sometimes. Watch Mostepanova in 1985 when she was tall and the bars were waaaay close together. Thats how legs are glued together. If someone comments on how the commentators are misleading by saying her legs are always glued together when they in fact are not, I don't see a problem with that.
I mean they her feet separations weren't being taken as deductions because it's a technique people use so their feet don't hit the low bar. Liukin is really tall for a gymnast, meaning she can't do the same leg separations on giants like how Beth Tweddle or Yang Yilin do it.
Look at this routine and look at HE kexins routine! it is obvious that Nas deserved this score,He had more mistakes and still the judges gave her 16.850!
@mortella23 Here's every leg separation that wasn't part of a skill- 1. First cast 2. Second cast 3. Before the Ono 4. Before the Healy 5. Before the Ono 1/2 6. After the Ono 1/2 7. Third cast 8. Before Tkachev 9. Fourth cast 10. Fifth cast 11. Before Higgins roll 12. After Higgins roll 13. On dismount That's more than most people.
@jerseyguy41ife I love how you replied "hater" to everyone that pointed out her form breaks. I most of Nastia's beam and vault. I loved her completely in 05. That doesn't mean I can't point out her form breaks though.
@gymnast42698 I paused at 0:11, I can see the red stands in between her legs. And at 0:47 there is one, not 0:48. My typo. I go back to my earlier comment, those are leg separations.
@ccaruso81 No, I don't need to pause it to see them. I'm pausing it at a certain second so that you can see it because you must be blind. You think I'm pausing it every single nano-second of this video to try and find errors? Because that's what you implying. And wearing glasses? Wow... And the judges can watch the gymnasts in slow-mo if they want to. They have that choice but the majority of the time they are so skilled that they don't need to. I don't complain about NBC being too critical.
Probably not, unless she added moves to it. Remember, this quad counted ten skills- which honestly is a lot. It would have done ok, but I don’t think it would have had the start value necessary to medal.
@@rogelinouicabtrejo4869keep in mind that Svetlana herself admitted that as she got older it got much harder to add additional skills in. By Beijing she’d have been 28(?) and even more physically tired. That’s a lot to ask of the body. She made it farther than most in her particular era, but a fourth games? No way.

16.900. Well-deserved

nastia you are great!!!!!!!
I adore!
@iamyukilee oh come on! Compared to everyone else's execution?.. Nastia's was flawless. And her legs were glued most of the time. Pleaes.

Watch any bar routine and you will find the same very discreet “leg separations”
@xTorresGirlx I agree completely.
she has to separate on giants. people still dont get it...
@jerseyguy41ife I love how you replied "hater" to everyone that pointed out her form breaks. I most of Nastia's beam and vault. I loved her completely in 05. That doesn't mean I can't point out her form breaks though.
@jerseyguy41ife wow you are really high class in reasoning... I give up, you are definitely the winner.
@ShawnVikaKomova2012 there was no leg seperation on any of her casts that were no intended. get glasses.

in the code of points say any tecnique accepted
I don't think they are referring to straddles lol. Its the times her calves pull apart to help her swing.

um yes it was!
@gymnast42698 Pause it at 0:11 and 0:48. The one at 0:16 isn't noticeable from this angle. Oh, but first, you might want to get glasses.
Hmmm funny when the commentator says about the "glued legs"... at least 6 times that glue was not really strong...
16.9 my ass !
yang yilin shouldve won silver
@ShawnVikaKomova2012 i paused at 0:11 and 0:48.no seperation. and i go back to my earlier comment. get glasses!
@jerseyguy41ife Honey, I never said I liked her bars. And I'm not criticizing. Just pointing out the flaws. Understand?
Just make sure you point out the countless flaws in other people’s routines as well.
La rutina de Khorkina pudo haber ganado una medalla en esta olimpiada?
Probably not, unless she added moves to it. Remember, this quad counted ten skills- which honestly is a lot. It would have done ok, but I don’t think it would have had the start value necessary to medal.
Khorkina pudo agregar más ejercicios sin problemas

Es una comparación de rutina ,no estoy afirmando que Khorkina participe .....
@ShawnVikaKomova2012 if you liked her so much you wouldn't fucking be criticizing her
@iamyukilee - unbelievably all gymnasts today and from the past seem to be compared to her 'artistically' !!!!!!! scary.......lol
I’d rather they were compared to her- a true representative of the sport- than anyone who walked with nose in the air acting like they were a queen.
Actually I get it.. look harder... anyway not important... at all.
