Many liked the “Moon River” routine. So I went back to look again.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
When she opened with triple twist punch front, I assumed it was Shang (who uses the same combination). It’s risky. Potential Achilles injury.
1/1-in and double pike are weak, obviously. This Floor is hard, a disadvantage for the lightest girls in the competition.
Overall I was very disappointed with China on Floor. Their plan to compete 3 ½ twist as their BIG trick has not panned out. Only Shang warmed one up, separate from the routine.
When Wang Yan joins Senior ranks next year, she’ll be their most important gymnast. Preparing Floor/Vault specialists is highest priority for Rio.
