Socially liberal loose cannon that I am,I think this is awesome.But ,that is coming from a mother of a 9 year old who wants to use Eminem for her floor routine .
Seriously,songs such as "till I collapse" would make for some great floor music for the right gymnast.
It's just too "stagey" for me. It's a show.
From one point of view, I do like it. Amazing tumbling, entertaining, good fun. But I like it as an exhibition piece, the show part seems to overwhelm the point- the gymnastics.
I wouldn't like to see this sort of routine in a "normal" or FIG comp. We should be judging to select the kid who's gymnastics is best, not the one most capable of playing the crowd.
As an aside, she's not your usual gymnast build is she? Makes me think if she can do moves like that, why are we almost exclusively selecting the skinny little kids for elite? Or do her other apparatus not match up skill wise because of her strength:weight?
This is her fifth perfect 10.0 on floor in her collegiate career. That speaks volumes to her talent. She is my favorite collegiate athlete. For a different perspective on her dance ability, I suggest people watch a couple of her beam routines. She is powerful and graceful all at the same time.
Also, her floor routine is slightly different each time. Although the general choreography and floor pattern are set, she just sort of wings it with most of her dance. It is definitely a powerful experience for her.
