American Rebecca Bross vs Russian Aliya Mustafina. The two gymnasts most likely to win the 2010 World Gymnastics Championships.
Spanny Tampson:
… then there’s beam. Good old beam, who separates the winners from the losers. However, what if the two gymnasts in question are EXACTLY THE SAME on beam?
Take Bross and Mustafina. People argue that Bross has no artistry, while Musty is the pillar of Russian beauty. People marvel that Bross is the pinnacle of consistency, while Musty is hit or miss. Execution, form, fall, stick, BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Hasn’t anyone else noticed that they do essentially the same routine? …

I love the Big Fake Smile blog.
But these two routines are more dissimilar than identical.
