#12	Future Elite October 7, 2009 at 6:40pm whoa I didn't know you had to do all that or you don't get credit at all! reply
#11	ApolytonGP July 15, 2009 at 11:05pm She has a beautiful shape on the hip angle. definitely more than the girl in the video did on her dynamic attempts (although less than what you see just inj the stopped video above (on ground) with judge molding girl's angle. I would think that if she threw her head back more she might get the trick correctly (but that would make it harder to land). I don't buy any discretion for getting older, the skill is the skill...if you lose ability as you age so be it. This thread is about doing the trick right. reply

See this picture: http://gymnastics.about.com/od/gymnasticsphotos/ig/Nastia-Liukin-Gallery/Nastia-Liukin-Sheep-Jump-08.htm And also 53 to 1:00 of attached video (sorry for the other haterade.) They are all snapshots, so a slow motion video would be better but I couldn't find a good one (and her hair flies around). Maybe she is making them. Or maybe she isn't and is just covering well.” hey there, i'm not a very big nastia fan either, i dont think she deserved the gold, but that's a whoooole other issue :) however... in regard to the sheep jumps, she achieves the "ring" shape and her hips are open, and for being in the air less than a full second the judges wouldn't quite catch that she doesn't have her feet right up, it is also acceptable to have your feet a bit lower, as you get older you get less flexible and your back doesn't bend in the top like it used to... i fully agree with what your saying, but for all intensive purposes, she's in sheep jump shape :) reply

Nastia Liukin deserved the wins? Maybe NOT reply
#8	MK June 17, 2009 at 7:10pm yeah, she is lucky to be able to hear from the judge and learn from it! And her routine was soooo good! She is a great beam worker reply
#7	GymBean June 17, 2009 at 9:28am Why feel bad for her? Her beam routine was gorgeous regardless if she received credit. Now she knows what it takes to get credit. reply

The Perfect Sheep Jump: What The Judge Wants To See
