So says Bea who attended this weekend’s competition:
The friendly meet between Russia, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden was, as expected, dominated by the Russians. They have started the competition on floor. I must confess that they have really stolen the show from the beginning: great choices of music for all six athletes, beautiful choreography, topped by almost perfect execution. The most surprising of all was Ksenia Afanasyeva’s routine who will probably be one of the three they will choose for the team finals.

That just might be my favourite routine in the world right now. (Not counting about 40 NCAA girls.) It has some fantastic sections. … Compare it with Maddie Larson’s. (VIDEO)
