I like this much better than just the plain purple. Wouldn’t have minded seeing this in TF.

At first I couldn’t figure out what was happening and was really freaked out.

*We’re not really sure what this confession is referring to, so here’s a nice pic of Nica instead!

It’s a “Mean Girls” reference.

Let’s just ignore the Chinese, like usual. /sarcasm

Well, the Chinese really don’t have anyone who they can put up against her at the moment with He Kexin not training right now and Yao Jinnan not being able to match Mustafina’s difficulty.

Did He stop training? She competed at Chinese Nationals a week ago. I thought she was continuing on for one last year. What about Huang Huidan?

Then why don’t you turn on MAG? There are other gymnastic disciplines than just WAG, you know.

Like the confessor, I want to see a well-performed Produnova. If I just wanted to see anyone do the vault, I would say “double front” and turn on MAG. However, it’s pretty clear from the terminology that I want to see a woman do the vault. I watch MAG on a regular basis, and see plenty of Roche vaults, but I still want to see a well-done Produnova.

I love what she does with her arms here.

I just realized only her thumb nails were painted in the vault final. I wonder if that meant something.
