my prediction for the individual events

Vault
1. cheng fei- 6.5/6.5 she has the best form in the world right now.
2. the korean girl (sorry i forgot her name) 6.5/6.5 she may even do a more harder vault beacause she is fearless
3. Jade BArbosa 6.5/6.5 with that new cheng vault she is doing, she has really a great chance in medaling.
4. alicia sacramonie 6.5/6.3 unless she will do an amanar vault, she can also medal.

UB
1. He kexin 7.5 she has the best execution in the world nd the most dynamic worker and besides she is a chinese.
2. Liukin 7.7 she may have the most difficult A score and very elegant, with that dismount (just totally ugly) i feel that she will not going to get the gold.
3. Semenova 7.6 she is just beautiful to watch with those beautiful combo she does she may even beat liukin.
4. yilin 7.0+ unless the top 3 will make an error during the event finals, she may snaatch a medal.

BB
1. Li shanshan7.4+ she is just a master in this apparatus. no one chanreally come close to her and even if she will make an error, she will syill get a medal.
2. jonhson 6.8 she has the biggest tricks but come on, she doesnt have the "beauty factor"
3. liukin 6.6 she is just beautiful in this apparatus but she need to upgrade this routine to have an edge with the ohthers.
4. Deng linlin 6.8 she has a potential score of 7.3
4. Nistor she is just solid in this apparatus some may say that she doesnt have the elegance and beauty but come on, she just sooo consistent in this.

FX
1.cheng fei 6.5 remember cheng fei will be doing a dos santos move which will definitely upgrade her A score. and she is judt a master FX
2.johnson 6.4 she needs to be more steady with her skills becuase in the dance department she is just lacking.
3. Jiang yuyuan 6.3 she has new FX routine but honestly I miss her old routine. she needs to feel more her new routine beacause it seems that she is not yet comfortable with it.
4. SAcramonie she has the skills but there is lacking with her.(I just don't know) she really need to change that routine bec. she's already using it for almost 3 years now.

For the AA
1. Johson she needs to upgrade her UB and with that amanar vault, she will be a huge favorite.
2. Liukin. its true taht she upgraded her UB but she still nedds to work on with her vault. remember that many AA contenders will be doing an amanar. and also her FX needs to be polished.
3. Jiang yuyuan she is said to be doing an amanar and a good score from UB and FX she just need to work with her BB.
4. Nistor many people may say that she lacks artistry, this girl is just so consistent. others may have the elegance but lacks consistency(like liukin).
5. ferrari she is said to be doing an amanar vault and good in FX,UB and bb. but remerber she is having some injuries right now. this girl's determmination to win is just admirable.
6.Jade barbosa she just adorable.. hehe
7. the korean girl- she just need to improve her FX and BB and she will be a contender. I feel that she will be the darkhorse coming brijing bec the koreans are known to throw difficult skills

you can react with this and besides there are still few months for other gymnasts to improve themselves.

2008 olypics team prediction

here are my predictions for the team finals.
team 1. china 2. usa 3. russia
Vault. 1.china- remember that jiang yuyuan is rumoured to be doing an amanar plus cheng fei’s vault and now, even he kexin is said to be also doing an amanar. china will have 3 6.5 A score. (what an improvement with he kexin.last year she was only doing a yurchenko full, at doha world cup she did a DTY and now an amanar!
2. USA- amanar for johnson and im hoping that sacramonie will increase her vault to an amanar and a DTY from peznek.
3. Russia- with an amanar from pavlova and a descent two DTY,they secure the 3rd spot. (there is a rumour going on that lozhecko is trying to do a produnova vault which has a 7.2 A score. wow! but i still have doubts about it. she may be trying it bec. remember lozhecko is a good front tumbler. but i think she can’t do it. but well will see.
UB 1. china- remember he kexin is doing a eoutine with a 7.5 A score. Jiang yuyuan with a 7.2 and yang yilin with a 7.0+ (im expecting that she’s going to increase her A score.
2. USA- liukin doing a 7.7, johnson a 6.3 and worley 6.7(im expecting worley and johnson will increase thier A score.
3. Russia- a potential 7.6 A score from semenova and a two descent routine from kramarenko and afasyaneva.
BB 1. USA- liukin has 6.6, johnson with 6.8 and maybe a score from sacramonie or worley or pezne.
1. CHina- li shanshan 7.4 (may even increase her difficulty) deng linlin 6.8 but a potential of 7.3 and cheng fei’s 6.7. as you can see china has more difficulty than USA but i feel USA is more consistent than china in this event. i still have doubts with cheng fei’s BB routine if she will hit it in beijing. deng linlin even doesnt connects her routin that is why she usually awarded with a 6.8 instead of 7.3. but if they will hit here, they will be untouchable.
3. Russia. a good routine from semenova, lozhecko and afasyaneva
FX 1. USA they have a good routine from sacramonie and johnson and even from memmel or peznek.
1. China- remember that it is confirmed that cheng fei is doing a dos santos move which definitely increase her a score. jiang yuyuan needs to feel more her new FX routine and a descent score from deng linlin or even from li shanshan.
3. Russia- a descent score from pavlova, lozhecko and afasyaneva.
China will definitely win plus it will be in beijing and im hoping that USA will not suffer the same faith russia had at the 96 olympics. . KARMA..yaiks..haha
but ofcourse this is my only opinoin and everyone can disagree.
what do you think?
