Default I'm totally in love with...

There are SO many negative threads on this board, I thought we could make a positive one. You can say anything you want, about a country, a gymnast (past or present), a skill, a routine or, I don't know a leotard; it just HAS to be positive. NO NEGATIVITY.

YAY!

I'm IN LOVE with the technique of all of these WOGA juniors. Let's look at some leaps shall we?

Yeah, WOGA really seems to make sure that their girls have great flexibility. Are those Becca's switch rings?

Nope, Grace McLaughlin in Pink and Madison Kocian in Purple if I'm not mistaken.

I love Alicia Sacramone's sassiness. It's honest, who she is and damnit, we need more of that in this world! Honest people with honest emotions.

Ah, I think the hair threw me off a bit. Still, great leaps. I think Nastia has the best switch ring on floor, at least of recent times.

P.S. Not trying to start a Nastia debate here.

I LOVE Nastia's switch ring!



How can you not think that's beautiful (Also not trying to start a Nastia debate, we're being positive!)

Holy over split. I've never actually seen her leap right at that point. Sheesh.

Here's Pavlova's. Just for comparison.



Hers is good too. It's kind of a bad angle, sorry.

I'm totally in love with Fabian Hambuechen, Alexei Nemov, and Justin Spring. By the few photos I've seen on IG, Jake Dalton also may be added to this list.

I personally like Anna Pavlovas more than Nastias.
