My thoughts about the girls who qualified....<br /><br />Yay Mustafina!! I was worried that she wouldn't be on form enough to get back, but seeing her in the AA, bars and floor final will be great. And good on Catalina! LOVE her on beam and she's my favorite to win (though I don't think anyone can beat an on-point Sui Lu). I'm almost surprised (though pleased) to see so many Russians in event finals (2 in AA, Bars, Beam, Floor and 1 on vault). We could see Russia dominate the podium this year. Here's who I HOPE wins (revised based on qualifications):<br /><br />Vault: <br />Maroney<br />Chusovitina<br />Izbasa<br /><br />Bars:<br />Tweddle<br />Mustafina<br />Seitz<br /><br />Beam:<br />Ponor<br />Sui<br />Afanasyeva (who saw this coming??)<br /><br />Floor:<br />Afanasyeva<br />Wieber (poor girl needs a medal)<br />Mustafina (if she can fix her fugly triple)<br /><br />AA:<br />Mustafina<br />Raisman<br />Komova<br /><br />I like Gabby but every time they talk to her she spouts off about Jesus and that's such a turnoff for me...Aly for the All-Around!Alexnoreply@blogger.com
