2013 Junior Nationals: LIVE Blogging

Results Day 1

The Triple Twist Twins let you know which routines they liked day one of juniors.

HERE is the link.for the juniors. Where the hell is Miller. I have no interest in stupid Sam Peszek.

Rotation 4

Hults is up first on bars. She’s off. Messed up entirely. This should be a very low score and its too bad because she would have had the best score if she hit. 12.450 (high)

Polina looks like she gained some weight so where is the power? Her Yurcneko full was overscored.

Love how Brandy can’t stay still for Sydney’s beam routine.lol Good routine for Sydney did a great beam routine til the dismount. Almost sat it down. At least 5 steps squatting. Brandy needs to get rid of the pony tail. She’s an adult now.

I like Vansia’s leotard. Until I see it close up.

Extra bonus for landing two feeted. Okay College educated Sam.lol

Nadia Cho did a great job on the handstands. Hope Valerie doesn’t get ahold of her and code whore her shoulder to death.

Hundley hit floor. One step after her double layout and a bit messy double tuck.

Sam Peszek is not pointing out mistakes to anyone but CGA’s gymnasts and Amanda keeps shutting up like she wants to say something.lol

A huge double pike. Really Sam. SHUT UP. We have to get this bitch fired.lol

Chellsie is judging bars.

Key has some form issues on bars but she stayed on. The bars judges rock today. That routine by Key was okay but not great and it was scored fairly.

I kind of like the ugly Woga leo. The color is different and way to bright but I kind of like it. Maybe.

Emily Gaskins had a great Memmel turn and a beautiful floor routine but her lack of difficulty will kill her on this event.

Nia Dennis has an amazing Arabian on beam but the rest of that routine is messy.

I love how these junior gymnasts all seem to have dance training. If they ever get the skill level to match the world better watch out.

A lot of power does not equal a freaking 1992 Yurchenko.

Hernandez hit bars. She missed a few handstands but not bad. I think she was a little overscored but not by much.

Nica’s fall off bars puts her in 7th and looking at the scores I don’t understand how they are so close to Polina’s whose scores overall look way lower. That one fall killed her today and I hope it doesn’t effect her tomorrow.

Rotation 3

Key 45.250; 2. Hernandez 43.750; 3. Dennis 43.150; Norah Flatley 42.950; Veronica Hults 42.700; Hundley 42.250

So Ramler completely messes up her bars and neither Sam or Amanda mention how ugly it was. They talk about how she added a more difficult extra skills. Um no she had no choice TO STAY ON THE BARS.

Hernandez’s leo needs to be burned.

Not sure why everyone loves Nia Dennis. She has great release moves but that was one sloppy fast routine. She missed almost all her handstands during the second half.

Flatly can’t dance. She needs some training in that area. She’s young. She reminds me of other Chow gymnasts.

Again with the laughing. ENOUGH Amanda. Well I guess I should blame Sam since she laughs so loudly.

Little girl from Ace on beam has a busy leo.

Polina has lost any potential she had as a junior. That level 6 floor routine she has trouble hitting is not impressive. She reminds me nothing of Nastia anymore so people need to stop saying that to drop their friends name on the broadcast.

Kim Zmeskal should not be allowed to pick out leotards for her kids. Those are gross. What is with the flower?

So lets cut out of the floor routine to watch Key stand around. Regan has the tiniest tumbling I have ever seen. She has potential.

SHUT UP SAM. There are two days of competition. There was nothing huge about that DTY by Key. It looked sluggish to me and she did stick which is good.

Amanda actually makes a good point (first time ever) about how Hundley had the bobble and never got in control and then she fell. She also was not getting credit for the leap either. Will be interesting to see how they score this. It was a hot mess. (12.900)

Bailey Key is great and I want her to win this title because when she hits she deserves it but her vault was overscored. Stuck or not that was not better than the 14.800’s DTY’s we have been seeing today. They had better height and distance.

Gaskins has potential. She is a pretty gymnast she just doesn’t have the skills and her leaps like most current CGA’s is horrific. Anyone know how old she is?

Hundley will be a great College gymnast. Sorry I love her floor but overall she does not have the look of an Elite.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keys floor is horrible. She has such potential but she kind of walks through this event. The music doesn’t help. Kim Zmeskal was a consistent gymnast and that is how she won her meets. People who call Kyla boring need to watch Kim. People like Kim Zmeskal as a person and it clouds their judgement on just how overrated she was as a gymnast. Sorry but Bela’s idea of keeping her consistent is what got her passed by when the Olympics came around. She was overscored big time on bars.

Polina reminds no one of Nastia anymore. When she was younger yes but not now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why must the announcers laugh every time they talk? This is so annoying.
