I really don't care.

If Anja was injured.
If she's injured, she shouldn't be on the team
When gymnasts like Kim Bui are healthy and ready to go.

Oh Sweetie.

Post #1 on my new blog!
Woot. Woot.
Woot.
(I have to say, I was inspired to make this blog by the bitchyness of the Project Rungay blog also hosted on Blogger. I loved it, and I think Gymnastics deserves the same treatment.)
And so, we're off.
*wooosh*
So I was watching videos today of the recent GER vs. ROU vs. FRA competition, and blah, this routine was a tranny mess.
Anja Brinker's FX
So let's start off with the score, which I saw first before seeing the actual routine.


12.700 (4.6)


This isn't going to be pretty.

So, this chick started with a 5/2 twist punch nothing. And she needed a sting mat to do it none-the-less. Sweetie, you're on the German Olympic Team, no sting mats!

Does she know that she's totally out-of-bounds right now? I mean, she should. Well, there aren't any lines, but still. Peripheral Vision, you have it, use it!



And this is how she ended her routine, with a back double twist (she doesn't have "D" level dismount, nor a double salto in the entire routine. There goes .8). On a sting mat, with a C level skill, and she landed short. Oh goodness.
