Exactly, the code for the Beijing quad completely favored bar workers. All the top AA gymnasts in the AA final were top bar workers, Shawn Johnson was only up there because she was so amazing at the other e events. The code gave bar specialists such an advantage to get massive high 16 and low 17 scores that average bar workers didn't stand a chance in the AA.

The idea is to look at the code and adapt to what it presents. She didn’t and it cost her. It’s really unfortunate- and one thing about that particular code I didn’t like- but it was the reality everyone faced. The area I felt for her on most was vault… such a sad situation.

@@brennenrivera4288 to be fair, bars had the highest evolution of skills during this era so it’s only fair. between release skills and transitions skills from high to low/low to high bar, it’s only makes sense why UB’s was one of the highest scoring events during this Olympics.

@@yooowhatsgood agreed, Pavlova's routine composition was terrible and is a legacy of the old 10 point era, it had no CV when the biggest change post 2006 was the increased emphasis on CV for UB. Or maybe she never trained to perform elements in combination and just wasn't capable of it? Even under the 2012 code when UB wasn't so overscored, UB still would have been a glaring weakness for Pavlova.

She had so much potential but bars wasn't her strong event. I think it's sad that bars was so heavy in score compared to the other events. It almost makes this AA competition not fair. Pav socred higher on floor, vault, and beam than the AA bronze metalist. I wish scoring could be more fair. Pavs would have been better suited for 2000 or 1996 COP

One of the dumbest routine constructions possible for that scoring system; it looks like it was made for the 1997-2000 era. She has 0 connection bonus and has to count three B elements, this is just catastrophic. I'm sure she could have done a routine worth way more, she clearly has some ability on the apparatus, looking at moves she was able to do earlier in her career and the L-grip work being shown here. It didn't have to be like this!

I had come up with a routine for her based on what she used to compete on bars as a junior/new senior but I doubt she could have pulled it off: Hecht mount + cast to HS Toe-on 1½ + Ono + front giant 1/1 + Jaeger Toe-on 1/1 + Tkatchev + Pak Maloney + Bail to HS + stalder shoot Giant 1/1 + DLO Not sure what the D score would be but I guess in the high 6s.

@@josephqualtier961 Simone would have been like Shawn Johnson: relatively weak on bars but super strong on the other three events. Even after her significant improvements on UB she would not have come close to Liukin or Yang Yilin on it, especially since this COP favoured pirouettes which Simone isn't that strong in. Back in 2008, E + E always got 0.2 CV and you could perform both the Ono and Ling. So Liukin's combination of Ono (E) + Healy (E) + Ono 1/2 (E) + Gienger (D) got a massive 0.6 CV. Also, tumbling difficulty was capped at G so Simone's huge tumbling wasn't as well rewarded. So Simone would have likely either won AA gold by a small margin or silver narrowly behind Liukin.

Start value was key, and Anna in particular did not have it. A SV of 5.7 will not net a high score, simple as that. For Semenova, she did not upgrade her bar routine as others did- Nastia and Yilin in particular, and it cost her. When the top three have a SV of 7.6-7.7 and you start at a 7.4- you give them a three tenths head start. That won’t win a medal.
