Tumbling? Yes. Dance? Not in any way at all.

​@@saragrant9749Biles ce face acum? Nu gimnastica acrobatica? Ca doar nu e gimnastica artistica la ea😂

@@iuliancam Simone Biles actually DOES have dance, it’s just modern and not your obviously preferred ballerina style. THIS WAS NOT DANCING.

Seven years later and this comment is still Correct

@@cotillionaire lilia had higher difficulty

@@austinitel.2972 no she didn't? Lilia's opening was an F pass (same as double layout), her middle pass was very easy and she finished with a full-in like Simona. Simona had two middle passes with way more difficulty than Lilia. Simona had much more difficulty and better amplitude as well, she deserved the gold. Lilia's routine is overrated af.

@@euler2718100 just curious, why did the judge awarded the gold to lilia and not simona

@@euler2718100 not really. simona didn't fulfill her compulsory requirement

Sloppy? Huh? Lilia deserved a 10.000. That 3rd landing was bounder skill

@@211jump Yes. Sloppy was what I said.

@@211jump. I don’t thinks she deserved a 10.0 but at least a 9.9

@@211jump Lilia had lower difficulty, worse tumbling and her so-called dance is highly overrated. She does have a toe-point to die for but that's pretty much the only thing in her favor.

@@euler2718100 Wrong....everything, yes Everything about Lilia's routine was better... The music, the dancing, and the tumbling. Simona didn't even deserve to beat Dawes. Simona's dancing is offensively bad.

Why would she do that?

That was during team finals.

@QPHashSS77 Terrible landings, are you nuts. The landings and tumbling are great. I agree the dance is awful though.

I think Kerri would have beat Simone, but I think Dawes should have beaten Simona. While her tumbling was great, her dancing was atrocious. And Yes, Lilia deserved this one.

I'd have probably placed it as Podkopayeva first, Dawes second and Amanar third, mainly because Lilia and Dominique did have better dance--but figure that the sheer power of Simona's tumbling can't be denied.

@@0xTRellyx0 I don't think Strug beats Simona. Simona scored a 9.85, and Strug was not going to score higher than that which would require atleast 2 judges to give her 9.9. That wasn't happening. At absolute best she would have tied. I doubt even that, when she got only a 9.837 in team optionals when the scoring was much higher than either the All Around or event finals for anyone (for instance Simona got a 9.887 in team optionals). If she were lucky she would have beaten out Moceanu to match Dawes's bronze and I am not sure she even manages that. Also funny you talk about Simona's horrible dance, when Strug is an even worse dancer and her choreography is comical.

Podkopyeva also had an extreme lack of control on her third tumbling pass which received no deduction at all. Excellent dance is great but she should have received deductions for lack of control.

Lilia had much lower difficulty and her so-called dance is highly overrated.

Difficulty-wise, Lilia's tumbling pass were F , C , C , E, while Amanar's were F , A+D+A, E, E. In no ways Lilia had more difficulties. Just the judges liked her routine more tho.

Lilia won on reputation alone. Her third tumble should have received a deduction and didn’t. Same thing as the AA and her bars- bent knees but no deduction!

If you call Lilia dance posing, then what do you think of Aliya’s “dance”?
