Amanda Turner posted a translation of an article from the Chinese Gymnastics Association:
China did not expect the Russian women to score so well at the recent world championships, Chinese women’s head coach Lu Shanzhen revealed in a recent interview. …
During the team finals at Rotterdam, the Russians missed two routines on bars, but hit 10 of 12 routines to take the title. …
“[Prior to Rotterdam], I saw the videos of two of the Russian gymnasts doing Amanars, but I thought they were sloppy and would definitely be devalued,” Lu told newsportal “Tencent.” “The same thing happened on their triple-full dismounts from beam.”
I don’t know where he could have got that impression.
Frame grab:
Tatiana Nabiyeva in 2009.
Even Tatiana didn’t know if she was going for triple or Amanar.
She’s the most out there space cadet we’ve seen in years. Da.
