Aliya – Russian Championships Beam

March 3rd, 2013 | beam, Gymnastics

Not perfect. But good to see her competing. :-) I’d love to see one of the sport’s most intriguing gymnasts in all the big meets 2013.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Rewriting Russian Gymnastics says hers was the highest qualifying score from prelims.

Does she get connection under the new “arm-waving” rules, I wonder?

If I understand Al & Tim’s & Nastia’s explanation correctly, I agree with WW up there. She’s not going to get connection for a lot of these — especially the switch half to onodi to double turn (LOVE IT!!!). Seems like she’s going to have to change her arms no ??

But I love her. Her performance between skills is just the most beautiful to watch that I’ve ever seen.

Seems that way. I’ll believe it when I see the rule applied at Worlds 2013.
