I do think nastia has a good chance as long as she hits of vault and floor. Overall, i think that shawn johnson has a stronger chance at all around because she is stronger on floor than nastia. but i luv them both and i hope that they both do well!

This prediction surprises me; I think Shawn is over all a much stronger gymnast.

Someone on youtube mentioned that Nastia has raised her bar routine to a 7.9 (she apparently connected her tkatchev and the pak).

I want that to happen too but someone on youtube said you didn't get ties in the Olympics. Don't know if its true or not. I thought you could.

I also heard today Nastia's training a double yurchenko vault- if she sticks it she's got enough to beat Shawn IMO.
