Oshima's New Floor! [LOVE!]

Watch this;
It's Kyoko Oshima's new floor routine at the Tianjin World Cup this morning.

It's A-Score is 5.9
And it can be 6.1 with a few upgrades.
And she's already scored in the 15's with this routine (Highest being 15.1 at JPN Trials).
It seems to me that she might be on a path to the Beijing Floor Finasl!

BTW : If you didn't know, I absolutely LOVE this routine ;)

RAWR::[DDS]

Daiane Dos Santos
made her 2008 debut, first competition after surgery
with the same routine she performed at Worlds last year.
A watered down routine with no double arabian.

So yeah, I'm kinda sad
I'm still hoping she is up to full strength by Beijing.
There are rumours going around saying she'll have the Chusovitina and a Whip + Double Layout by the Olympics (omg, Maloney #2)
I just hope she gets the gold.
Oh, and the last rumour?
That she is training the Produnova vault.
