The comeback queen gets yet more redemption. She and Imogen had the best “form”, I thought.

1. Sacramone 15.2 (USA)
2. Mustafina 15.066 (RUS)
3. Barbarosa Fernandez 14.799 (BRA)
Mustafina had better leg form on the twist today. And she landed Amanar right on the centre line. Look out world. This girl could compete triple twist.
Second vault was Yurchenko half-on, full-off.
We were shocked, then, to see her penalized 0.1. … Russia appealed though 0.1 would not change the final rankings. Like the old days, protests are still walked over to the boss, Nellie Kim. They’re having a nice little chat in Russian, looks to me.
Nabieva was not even close to completing the Amanar today. She got credit only for double twisting Yurchenko.
Bigger, stronger girls have an advantage on vault, on average. We see that in this final. Only 2 “small” girls made it.
Alicia is awesome. Look at the height. But she cannot “stick”. … Has she ever stuck in an international meet?
This is her first World Championships GOLD on Vault.
