2003 Cottbus Turnier der Meister

So this is one of my favorite meets of all time and that might seem like a random thing to say about a random world cup qualifier from a non Olympic year held in March.

First let’s just start with how stunningly amazing this field is:

2004 Olympic vault gold medalist Monica Rosu

2001 World floor silver medalist Daniele Hypolito

2004 European AA Champion Alina Kovich

2002 World floor gold medalist Elena Gomez

2003 World floor gold medalist Daiane dos Santos

2003 World beam gold medalist Fan Ye

2000 European floor gold medalist Ludivine Furnon

2000 Olympic floor and vault gold medalist Elena Zamolodchikova

Oksana Chusovitina, Anna Pavlova, Beth Tweddle whose resumes I do not need to list

as well as Oana Ban a beautiful gymnast who should have had a career I did not need to list.

I love watching great gymnasts in low key low stakes meets and this is just delightful and for a meet in March there is relatively little splatting.

But the sentimental reasons have to do with the fact that @darthmelyanna wrote an entire book chapter set at this random 2003 gymnastics meet and I will have a soft spot in my heart for it forever. I think she and I picked it just based on the date and relative location for plot purposes in the novel but that’s also when I discovered “hey this entire meet is on youtube”. And thus the start of “OMG so many meets are just on youtube...”

“I find Chinese accusations of Japan cheating using hometown advantage and their complaints about neutral deductions funny considering the 2008 age scandal and the fact that Anna Pavlova was definitely cheated out of a beam medal. (As well as a vault placing out of a technicality) I love the 2008 WAG team so I didn’t want to be so petty but yeah... I hate the bots and hypocrisy. The current team China members (including the ones related to this issue) are good sports and great athletes, so I do wish them the best.”

Hey there! Well, I have a bit of an awkward relationship with Christmas, some years I totally feel it but others I'm a real-life Grinch haha, I'm not sure how the cookie's gonna crumble this year, let's hope I feel The Spirit. Oh! Nice! I lived in the tropic so we never had snow, but I did live in England for a few months and it snowed that year, it was AWESOME. I was 11? 12? So I was losing my mind. So tell me, how did you get into gymnastics? Who are your fave gymnasts?

I got into gymnastics when I was 11 thanks to, believe or not, PE class! Where I am from the school year is divided into 3 trimesters and in PE you do 1 sport per trimester. The first sport of the year was Artistic Gymnastics! The gymnasium had a beam, low beam, uneven bars, parallel bars, pommels and the old type of vaulting horse. We did rotations on each apparatus and learned basic skills and I LOVED i! It quickly became an obsession (still is to this day ^^) and I joined a recreational club to continue learning new skills. I loved everything about it, from the conditioning to the drills and skills practice.

I stopped when I was 16 because I had a lot of course work and I was also a competitive Taekwondoist. I recently joined an adult recreational gym class. I lost most of my skills honestly. It took me a good 3 weeks to relearn Round-off +BHS+BHS. I am a lot more cautious than when I as 14, so I’m not trying out crazy beam skills anymore :p

My fave gymnasts..... That’s a question, I love so many of them. In old school gymnastics, Svetlana Boginskaya, Elena Zamolodchikova, Yang Bo, Elvire Teza, Henrietta Onodi, Elena Produnova, Tatiana Gustu, Lilia Podkopayeva, Mo Huilan and so many more!

In “current” (like after 2000) gymnastics: Aliya Mustafina, Anna Pavlova, Giulia Steingruber, Liu Tinting,Larisa Iordache, Eythora Thorsdottir, Angelina Melnikova, Simone Biles, Mélanie De Jesus Dos Santos, Ksenia Afanasyeva, Flávia Saraiva, Oksana Chusovitina and again so many more to choose! The list tends to add up rather than decrease :p

And you? How did you get into gymnastics? Favourites?

if you could change as many things as you wanted about the 2008 podiums, what would they be?

I think He Kexin, Yang Yilin, and Beth Tweddle would have been the best UB podium of all time. I also wish Cheng Fei and Jiang Yuyuan would have medalled on floor - Cheng Fei messed up and deservedly finished out of the medals, but Jiang Yuyuan was robbed of bronze IMO. I also wish Pavlova would have medaled on beam - I would have liked to see her get bronze over Cheng Fei, even though I can see why Fei scored higher. The vault podium I don’t really care about. I was happy for Chuso even though I think her vaults are ugly, and I think the rest was fair. Sacramone in 4th warms my heart.

afan, semenova and pavlova for the ask thing

1. Afan - I would put her as equal with Pavlova, but I’m ranking her first bc I was able to witness her competing as a Russian Gym Stan™, while I was still a USA fan during Pavs’s days. Anyway. Obviously Afan is widely known for her floor (which is great), but I’ve always loved her on beam. AND she’s planning on returning to gymnastics after pushing a 6-8 pound human out of her body. Amazing.

2. Pavs - All the pretty things, especially in her earlier routines. Tbh I’m not knowledgeable enough about the 2004 code to say she was robbed of an AA medal, but Tumblr says she was, so like, probably, right? I’m super glad she got that Euros vault medal for AZE after all the shit she’d been through. It’s so shitty for such a talented gymnast compete over ten years and come away with just two Olympic bronzes. Such is Russian gymnastics.

3. Semy - Never cared for her labored bars, and her beam was pretty bland. (Although I’d kill to have her beam in a TF lineup this quad lol.) I looooved her floor choreography though. Her 2009-10 routine is probably my favorite, but her 2008 one was great as well. One of the few to pull off “cutesy” at the senior level. Here’s here ‘09 routine:

Favorite Vault of this quad: Steingruber, Biles, Hong Un Jong (that’s it just cause vault is my least favorite event to watch tbh).

Favorite country: Currently it’d be Japan. There’s so much talent and potential for that team I hope they win as many medals as they can this quad and in Tokyo.

Favorite event: FX and BB

Favorite skills on each event: Vault - Rudi, UB - Deltchev and any intricate work the Chinese do lol, BB - Grigoras, standing arabian, Onodi, Kotchetkova, full-twisting Korbut flip (I can’t remember the proper name of it lmao).

#Alicia #Sacramone #art #comedy #cool #famous #flowers #halfindonesiajapan #likeforlikes #makeupideas #music #worldstar

Alicia Sacramone was born 3 December 1987 and is a World Champion gymnast from Boston, Massachusetts. Sacramone was the 2005 World Champion on Floor Exercise and has won several titles with her powerful and spunky gynnastics flavor. Alicia struggles with the Uneven Bars and occasionally the Balance Beam, but is one of the world’s strongest competitors on Floor and Vault.

Alicia first started gymnastics after she was identified doing cartwheels in a local shopping mall in Massachusetts. Sacramone first qualified as an elite gymnast in 2000 and competed in various important competitions in America. While she drew attention for her engergetic style and promising vault and floor work, she was known for succumbing to pressure in major competitions and making mistakes as a result. Her best results prior to 2004 were a seventh place finish in the All Around at the 2002 US Classic and a Fourteenth place at Senior Nationals in 2003. While the latter qualified her for the Senior National team, Alicia was never in the picture to make the 2003 World Championships Team.

2004 was a year of both low and high points in Alicia’s career. She was a member of the team that competed at the Pacific Alliance competition and won Gold, but her Olympic Dream shortly came unstuck. Alicia failed to qualify for the final Olympic Selection trials after a disastrous nationals competition marred by several major mistakes and falls. National team coach Marta Karoyli now imfamously claimed she was ‘through’ with Sacramone after these mistakes. Despite this, Sacramone showed fierce determination and continued with gymnastics despite her disappointment of missing the Olympic Team. She spent the summer of 2004 training hard at her gym, under the guidance of coach Mihai Brestyan, working to enhance her technique, mental toughness and consistency. As one of the few American gymnasts still training after the Olympics, Sacramone went to Birmingham, England to compete in the World Cup finals. Her summer training had paid off enormously and she won gold in the Vault Final, defeating reigning Olympic Champion Monica Rosu with a score of 9.481. Anna Pavlova, another Olympic Vault Medalist placed third behind Sacramone and Rosu.

2005 saw Alicia continue her metoric rise to the top of the gymnastics ranks. She competed at the American Cup competition, placing first on vault and second on floor. Later that year she performed well at US Nationals, became national champion on both Vault and Floor as well as placing a respectable fourth All Around. The high all-around placing was a considerable achievement for an athlete who is an apparatus specialist and who is comparatively very weak on bars. The highlight of her nationals performance was a second working day floor routine which scored a near perfect 9.9, one of the highest scores ever awarded under the code of points used at the time.

However, it would be at the 2005 World Championships in Melbourne, Australia where Alicia would truly glow. As a member of the United States team, she qualified for finals on both Vault and Floor. In the Vault Final, she won the Bronze medal behind Cheng Fei of China and Oksana Chusovitina then representing Uzbekistan, now representing Germany. Alicia’s combined score was 9.412. Alicia became World Champion when she won the Floor Exercise final with her energetic performance and powerful tumbling. Her score of 9.612 saw her comfortably win the gold medal ahead of United States teammate Nastia Liukin.

Alicia was a member of the U.S. team at the 2006 World Championships in Aarhus, Denmark. In the preliminary round of competition, she qualified for the vault event final. She failed to qualify for the floor final after receiving a deduction of .5 for a pause during her leap combination. This caused some disquiet because she had performed the same routine in domestic competition without deduction, but the rules do state that movement during the leap combination must be continuous, with no pauses. After this initial disappointment, Alicia went on to compete well in the team final, contributing to the U.S. team’s silver medal with clutch performances on the vault, balance beam and floor. The strong beam performance was particularly noteworthy, as it is not her stongest apparatus and she fell three times on the piece in the 2005 World Championships. She also won a second silver medal in the vault final, moving up one place from her previous year’s performance.

Sacramone enrolled in Brown University, an Ivy League school, in the fall of 2006. She is a member of the Brown gymnastics team, and is the existing Ivy League champion in each and every event. However, she has also maintained her elite training schedule, and intends to continue participating in international events as a member of the U.S. national team. She is currently the only female gymnast on the U.S. team to combine total-time college study with participation in both NCAA and elite gymnastics. She qualified to the 2007 NCAA finals as a floor specialist, but was unable to advance to the event final after stepping out of bounds in prelims.

Secret Santa here again! Yaaaaaaas Mustafina! ;) No need to explain, I think many of us started with NBC commentary until we became more ‘educated’ haha Thank goodness for so many of those Youtubers making the sport so much more accessible, love their work. Ok, today’s question: Other than Daiane and Aliya, who are some of your favs on each event? Have a great day, your Secret Santa xx

Ok...

Vault first. I really like Rosu, Cheng Fei (she was SO ahead of her time), and of course $eamoney. I also enjoy Jade Carey! Pet Peeve is tucked layouts (sorry Nabs) and bad foot/leg form (Aly’s is awful, Paseka’s amanar isn’t as bad but her Cheng is terrible, and there are others too).

Bars. Besides Musty I love Komova (esp her eponymous skills), I actually like Gabby Douglas (she’s got a variety of difficult skills and great amplitude), and I like Eli Seitz, Nabs, and Yao too. Pet Peeve here is the same as beam.

Beam. My fave is Afan’s beam from 2012 (good skills, nice form and connections, fantastic choreo), a close second is Sui Lu, and I also like Cata, Lari, Raducan, and Trinity Thomas. Pet Peeve is when people get all of their difficulty from their dismount and not while they’re on the apparatus (looking at u $eamoney no shame).

Floor. Aside from Daiane it’s ALL about Afan here I love her artistry, and also I like Giulia Steingruber and DiDi Bulimar when they hit (their combo of leaps, tumbling, and actual choreo is a breath of fresh air). Anna Pavlova’s artistry and Chellsie Memmel’s tumbling deserve recognition as well. Pet Peeve is NASTIA I can’t stand her floor.

Hello, it's your Secret Santa! I hope you're enjoying your day :)) I'm quite excited for this, since it's my first time doing a ss. what are your favorite events/gymnasts/teams?

Hi Secret Santa! I’ve been having a pretty good week now that I think about it :3 Quite stressful but it’s been a positive.

I’d say my favourite events are really everything but vault, haha. Bars and floor especially (beam is stressful lol). In terms of teams I’m basically an irrational Russia and China stan :P Some of my favourite recent gymnasts include Aliya, Eremina, Morgan Hurd, Eythora, Nina Derwael, Vika, Anna Pavlova, Yao Jinnan, Sui Lu, He Kexin, Yang Yilin, Cheng Fei, and of course Simone.

How has your week been? :3

“Anna Pavlova has the most unlucky olympics in 2008. She missed medaling with the team, got a 0 on her second vault in the finals, got robbed in beam finals and placed 4th, and fell in the floor finals. She was such a beautiful gymnast and really deserved a medal in 2008.”

“I never really realized how much of an unfortunate career Anna Pavlova had. In 2004 she got a bronze medal for vault but I think she should have gotten silver. She was fourth in the beam final by a tenth and a half and fourth in the all around by 0.025. In 2008 she didnt medal with the team, was robbed in the beam final, fell in the floor final and her second vault got a zero. It's such a shame because her gymnastics was so beautiful. I haven't seen anyone like her in a while.”
