Do they get bonus points for using their head to bounce the ball?

[Matryeshka]

They should. Even her mistake was voidy!

2nd day of preliminaries begin.

Pleasent routine by Maksymenko.

I hope NBC will show this, but I doubt it. They won't show it in prime time for sure, and I am at work during day. May have to depend on Yt and the posts here. FSU is telling me more about the Olympics than NBC is.

This appeared in yesterday's newspaper.

Dmitrieva is first for rotation 3 but her scores are so near with Kanaeva's 28.9+
even with mistakes again, the judges still really prefer Kanaeva over Dmitrieva

Dmitrieva was underscored
she should have gotten 29+ score for that ribbon

[RumbleFish]

Ugh.. Uzbek girl messes up again. But she remains cheerful nonetheless.

[love_skate2011]

I think the pressure is taking its toll on Kanaeva
I have never seen her getting this mistakes, she's choking ala Michelle Kwan with Lipinski

Dmitrieva will win this if she keeps this mistakes in the finals

[mazzy]

just tuned in...the Israeli coach is stunning.

[RumbleFish]

Tall polish girl is up next.

Lots of small mistakes here and there, but gets decently high marks nevertheless.

[love_skate2011]

Tall polish girl is up next.

and will get huge scored again

Im really sad for Kanaeva, this is really odd she never makes this many clear mistakes. maybe she is injured, I would never have thought of Dmitrieva will be leading

But I get a strong feeling that she will end up with the gold anyways.

it depends on the final, hope dies last :

I still hope Kanaeva will nail it in the finals, this is just prelims but I want her to win deserving, not because the judges are obsessed to crown her as the first RG gymnast to win 2 gold medals. I have to admit Dmitrieva is in great shape so if she keeps this up she will win this

[RumbleFish]

Charkasina up next.

Not the best performance by any means.

Chinese girl just won the most annoying music award

She's right up there for ugliest costume, too - and that's saying something.

With you on the horrific costume, but I quite enjoyed seeing a chinese gymnast performing to something true to her own culture rather than western influenced.

the girl from Kazakhstan had 3 Huge Pivot turn off balances
and the Egypt girl got 2 ribbon drop.
Korean girl dropped the clubs in the ending

what a splatfest

[RumbleFish]

Korean girl looses a shoe during the routine lol.
Is there any deductions for loosing your shoe?

From looking at her marks, I guess there is..
She is just about to break into tears.
