Paola Galante, Italy – bars and beam

Paola Galante. Another Nastia in the making. I love super flexible gymnasts.

Talk about overuse of one type of skill: Stalder. I suspect Paola is weak on dismounts and release.

The stoop Stalder to Tkachev is poor but interesting.

Another example why Juniors (at least) should not be counting 10 skills, but rather 8, or fewer.

She’s much better on beam. Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube:

Thanks TKO.
