oh by the way He Kexin has lowered her start value to 7.4 for the coming worlds on bars. And Cheng Fei won’t be competing because of an injury

Nastia was great in 2008…she may not have had the highest difficulty and her routines are different she grew. She is very different nowadays but sitll great.

Shawn is …
Shawn is competiting at the 2009 worlds?! When is it?? I haveee to watch!

I still happy ‘ …
I still happy ’cause Ksenia won this bars tittle, I think this was her debut, and is like she’s saying: ”Beware! I may be tinny, but I’m a great bar worker, so watch out!”.
And now European AA Champion, Go Ksenia!

Nastia was good in …
Nastia was good in 2005. After she got injured in 2006, she was never the same. She got by on pure reputation.

Shawn Johnson …
Shawn Johnson probably won’t do that well at the 2009 worlds. She is really far behind because of Dancing with the Stars. However, I hope that Mark Ballas choreographs her routines for 2010-2012.

The American …
The American mentality only applies to the coaches and two comentators. Bart Conner is much better than Tim Daggett and Elfie Schlegel.
And it is kinda funny that the two best american gymnasts were Chinese and Russian trained.

She is the only …
She is the only woman ever to do a Tkatchev to immediate giant full. The Stalder full into piked arabian double front is also very hard.

She had a higher …
She had a higher start value, and they both had errors. It could have gone any way between the top three.

Oh, good to know. I …
Oh, good to know. I don’t speak either, unfortunately. I only do English and French.

Romanian and …
Romanian and Russian aren’t the same, though - Romanian is a Romance language and Russian is Balto-Slavic.

I’m confused why …
I’m confused why you point out that Kexin is her given name. The OP said Beth and Yilin and you didn’t point those out…perhaps he or she does know that Ms. He’s first name is Kexin and just prefers to call her that? :)

KarenLovesGymnastics says August 7th, 2009 at 6:08 am

Sadly, yes. If she …
Sadly, yes. If she continues she may get better for 2012. I also kinda hope she changes her floor routine, as much as I love it.

Joura is great, but really inconsistent.

A) Kexin is her …
A) Kexin is her given name.
B) Nastia’s won more than her fair share of medals, including uneven bar titles.

She did! Her form …
She did! Her form was much better in Beijing!

chinatheatre says August 7th, 2009 at 6:08 am

I like her UB …
I like her UB routine! Though u.s. media keeps on telling the public that Liukin is the best, she has lost to 3 top UB workers from 3 different countries (Semonova from Russia, Beth from Britain, and Kexin from China). Yang Yilin should be ahead of Liukin, too if Yang has not been underscored on UB. What do these 4 top UB workers have? Semonova’s is interesting, Beth’s powerful, Yilin’s elegance and near perfect form, and Kexin’s innovative risky moves and excitement.

he’s at least …
he’s at least better than tasha-she says “kensenia” instead of “ksenia”

humbersidehusky says August 7th, 2009 at 6:08 am

You’d think he …
You’d think he would know how to pronounce the names since he has a Romanian wife. Oh well

    As an industry leader and keen advocate of precious metals ownership, GoldMoney sets new standards for governance and customer protection.
    We built our proprietary system to absolutely ensure there always exists a one-to-one relationship between every single goldgram and silver ounce recorded in the GoldMoney system and the quantity of grams of pure gold and ounces of silver in the insured vaults.

  • Gold Bar

    Of all the precious metals, the gold bar is the most popular as an investment. Investors generally buy gold bar as a hedge or safe haven against any economic, political, social, or currency-based crises. These crises include investment market declines, inflation, war, and social unrest. Investors also buy gold bars during times of a bull market in an attempt to gain financially.

    At the end of 2006, it was estimated that all the gold ever mined totaled 158,000 tonnes. This can be represented by a cube with an edge length of just 20.2 meters.
