Great dismount, though difficult to stick.

#2 bc on 02.18.10 at 7:19 pm: Beautiful bars! Love the first low bar to high bar transition.
#3 Eve on 02.18.10 at 8:25 pm: I wonder if she intends to upgrade to a double twist?
#4 ry on 02.19.10 at 11:13 am: Why did she get rid of her markelov? She did it so beautifully! Her piked jaeger is nice, but I miss that markelov!
#5 shergymrag on 02.19.10 at 12:39 pm: The double double and the 1 1/2 are probably worth the same.
#6 Eve on 02.20.10 at 7:29 am: shergymrag – I think the double double would be easier to land cleanly, although the one-and-a-half is unique – really takes you by surprise!
#7 Elena on 02.20.10 at 12:19 pm: I’m not sure about the difficulty of this dismount, but it shouldn’t be higher than E, as opposed to the tucked double-double which is an F.
I have no idea why she left out the Markelov but I suspect she’s not doing full-difficulty yet (her floor was watered down too).
#8 alexandrite105 on 02.22.10 at 12:35 pm: she looked really close to blowing out a knee there; i hope she improves on it. i love the uniqueness of the landing in any case!
