notes from Jesolo

Giulia Holzer was there, posting for Couch Gymnast:

… This competition let us know how deep the American field is and how will be difficult for Russia to overtake them. I liked a lot the dualism between the powerful and solid work from Raisman and co and the elegant, artistic but not so solid work from Russia. …

… On floor I think I saw the highest double double ever from Elizabeth Price. It was sky-high and the audience just went crazy about it! Her double layout was huge too. …
