Nastia Liukin's AMAZING bar routine!!

she's back baby! Way to go Nastia...

[BeamPrincess]

It is so great after watching her beam and bars how happy Nastia is, good for her and may she prove the critics wrong, she was coming back fro an injury and that is never easy!!! Good job team USA.

Nastia did an awesome job... here is Shawn Johnson's - great routine, but her dismount landing clearly made the difference in her score... she will fight even harder tomorrow. It is going to be one heck of a competition

Thanks for posting that! Nastia's bars were amazing, but I was even more impressed with her vault. She went from not getting enough height off the vault and not being able to landit, to being able to get great distance and just one hop in two weeks! She sure is a fighter, and I hope she isn't in too much pain. I wish her the best of luck in all her finals. Go USA!

After vault the US was 5th with 3 rotations left!!

Shawn (15.375) & Nastia (16.375) both nailed their bar routines (waiting for shayla worley to compete now...)

tx soooooo much bogwoppit - definately worth downloading!

Going into the final rotation (US floor):

1. China
2. US
3. Russia

I missed alicia's routine... nastia choked on her beam dismount, but still brought it for a 15.175

and shawn fell off & lots of wobbles today , I missed her score, but even then the US pulled off 2nd thus far.

[Ingymmom]

That was so Great!!!!

Alicia & Shawn delivered on floor! The US walks away with the GOLD!

184.4 to Chinas 183.45

They were truely awesome - and this gold medal is well deserved!
Also China did really well - but mistakes prooved to be costly for them...as well as for Romania.
Romania was lucky to win bronze after Kramarenko from Russia scored a 0 on vault!!!! She stopped her run but touched the board and vaulting table.... What a misery.....

Martin - I was actually surprised by the US scores, with shawn's fall on beam & Nastia's beam dismount... I thought the deduction was greater. But of course I am thrilled for the US taking gold only for the 2nd time at Worlds... It was very sad for Ekaterina & Russia, they would have been 3rd for sure... I learned a lot just from watching, of course I am a fan of the US first & foremost, but I have a great deal of respect for and am now a fan of Yilin Yang, Steliana Nistor, Jade Barbosa & Ekaterina Kramerenko. So many beautiful different styles in other countries - I feel sheltered Did you go to the event?
