An Izbasa Upgrade.

I would like to share with you
a floor routine from Sandra Raluca Izbasa
She changed her first pass, I suggest you pay close attention.

Her first pass is a back-layout 1 1/2 twist immediate front-layout double twist.
She follows that up with a tucked full-in, then a back-layout 2 1/2 twist immediate front-layout full. Her fourth pass is a back-layout double twist and she wraps up with a back-layout triple twist.
Saying she got credited with everything here, her A-Score comes out to 6.5.
6.5?
Why'd she upgrade then? Her Euros routine had a 6.5.
Well, here's why.
The back-layout double twist, she will not do that in Beijing.
Rumors have flown about the possibility of a 6.7 and a 6.8 routine.
She can have a 6.7 routine if she changes the tucked full-in to piked and adds a tucked full-in as a fourth pass.
She could get a 6.9 with this routine.

6.9.

Even if she doesn't upgrade to the routine I've just posted, a 6.7 in Beijing will be huge, and most likely the highest A-Score on floor there.

Wow.

New Montages!

I have two new montages!
The first is a competition montage of the 2008 Europeans (my first competition montage ever!) The song doesn't have a name, its just the Rolex Commercial song.

And the other is a new floor montage. The song is "I Can't Decide" by The Scissor Sisters.

Oh, the song is not censored. =]

Lets Start Out With...

Chellsie Memmel
Yes, Chellsie Memmel.
The great American gymnast who won the 2005 World Championships All Around.
Is back.
With a phloof.
Most of everyone has already seen this
But if you haven't, I warn you its not for the faint-hearted.
Her new floor routine;

Its pretty much horrible. I apologize in advance if your ears were bleeding.
Anyway, its Marta to the rescue! She is making Chellsie get a new routine, because "it didn't get the reaction we wanted." I'm guessing she was expecting something good?

And seriously, Antiona Markov (i think thats her name, I'm too lazy to look), what happened?
Remember when you choreographed Allyse Ishino and Courtney Kupets' routines?
Remember how totally rad they were
Think back to those days
And actually choreograph something good for Chellsie. She is a phenomenal gymnast, and she deserves more than "I Love Rock & Roll" and arm-waving.
