considering how she was totally robbed on the vault score
BronzeisGolden said:I was sort of shocked to see a score in the 9.4 range for Khorkina's vault also. I was expecting something in the low 9.5s, which is what I think it deserved. She did a great job with it, but some of her positions in the air are sloppy. Still though....it was clean. I guess it doesn't matter much seeing as how the judges ended up giving her back that tenth in the bar routine (I was thinking nothing higher than a 9.65 for that routine and was kind of surprised to see that 9.725 pop up). But, I am glad she had a solid competition. She gave that Floor Exercise all of the personality she could muster....and smiles to boot (which is such a rare thing with her)!
