candycoateddoom: fyeahgymnastics: candycoateddoom: this skill was so pretty why did they take it out of the code of points? they took it out? when? why? It was added to the CoP after the Beijing Olympics (I think it was an E element). It got taken out when they revised the CoP for the 2009-12 quad. Now any element connected to an arabesque is the skill value + 0.1 in connection bonus. I don’t know why, just like I don’t know why they wanted the gymnasts to stick their landings on floor. Thanks!

Pretty Leos 2012

I really like the leotards the girls have been wearing in the international competitions this year.  It’s such a nice break from the usual red & yellow themed leos copyrighted by team China. My favorite is Wu Liufang’s pink, black & white leo she wore at the Cottbus Challenger Cup. Tan Sixin’s white and blue one is also very nice. I can’t wait to see what the girls will wear at the nationals. =)
