Here's the first video that's been posted! It's Greece with 3 hoops & 4 clubs. They were good, but I'm not crazy about their routine. Bulgaria and Italy usually have my favourite routines. I found that I could tell that some of the Greek girls were weaker gymnasts. I'm hoping videos of the top 3 will come out soon. I'm really curious as to what Russia did!

Italy's 5 Ribbons was lovely, but I saw a few mistakes. I love love love this routine, anyways!!! And the beginning pose is stunning.

Yes, I had heard that Belarus was undermarked. I haven't seen them, yet. I just heard that Russia made several mistakes, while Belarus did not. It wouldn't surprise me, if the results were unfair. They usually are in big competitions.

Yup. we are used to it already
I loved sooooo much Bulgarians' 3 hoops & 2 clubs routine!!!!!!!! And, of course.. my Simonkaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

I've watched it too! I'm so sorry our team made a mistake, they could take a medal They were wonderful, indeed!
And about Simona - she was so good, for me she deserved a medal or at least - place in top 5.

Thanks to all for your support for our team!

Kisses!

Yes, our lovely Moni!!!!!!!!

I haven't even seen the results. I was insanely busy this weekend. I'll have to go look.

You can watch a lot of the videos: here. And the erm... results.

*sighs* Okay, this is why I didn't look at the results or watch any of the videos, earlier... Alina Kabaeva catches the ball 8 times with both hands... and gets 2nd? At this high level, it's not acceptable. I know novice gymnasts, who know better than to do catches like that. Baaaad judges.

Moni's clubs routine was extremely disappointing. One drop and a miss in the ending pose?

What was your opinion on Vera's performances? I haven't seen them, yet... I heard that she made a drop in rope and a knot in her ribbon.

I wish I had videos of the Junior competition. I really like the Bulgarian and Russian juniors. Ohhhh! And can Russia start sending Marina to competitions, instead of Kabaeva? And can Ira come out of retirement? I live in a dreamworld, eh?

Well, I'm off to classes!
Kisses

It is pretty amazing. I like it a lot. Of course, I am not able to recognise the mistakes, especially if they are little ones...
Anyhow, this routine was impressive.

I have to say that I absolutely love Rhythmic...then again I do it, so why wouldn't I? I love the hula hoop...I don't know why, but I just do...I didn't get a chance to watch Europeans though...I was so sad because I really wanted to see it!!!

Well, I guess I should try to go to sleep now, even though I am not tired. Maybe I had to much coffee... And I really need to sleep decently this week because last week I was up until 2 or 3 a.m. every night and I fell asleep in the Mac lab... It was funny though because my friend realized I was asleep after she had just finished this whole schpiel (is that a word?) about how she hated this project we were doing... I think I have a test tomorrow, come to think of it...so I guess I need to shut up and go to bed!
