Faster 545 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Patricia Bezzoubenko will likely add 4 more medals tomorrow. Here's hoping she can duplicate Alexandra Orlando's 2006 achievement. Ironically she is cleaning up in Glasgow because she is not good enough to compete for Russia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faster 545 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 She was born in Canada. She lives and trains in Russia... She is a Russian citizen as well. Have you heard her speak? If she was good enough, she would not be competing for Canada. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ofan 697 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) She is a Russian citizen as well. Have you heard her speak? If she was good enough, she would not be competing for Canada. Doubt it. This girl will be a contender in Rio. Besides, who the hell wants to compete for Russia??

Faster 545 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Doubt it. This girl will be a contender in Rio. Her scores in Glasgow are 14 points behind the the current World Champions score from 2013 and they are the same age. She would need to take a giant leap in technicality and difficulty to even challenge for a top 10 in Rio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fox334 93 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Doubt it. This girl will be a contender in Rio. Besides, who the hell wants to compete for Russia?? What makes you think that? There is no Commonwealth country that is anywhere near being a Rhythmic Gymnastics power. Alexandra Orlando cleaned up in Melbourne (won all six events) before going on to finish18th in Beijing.

ofan 697 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Looking at the scores, yikes. Did not realize the massive difference. That being said, she's pushing top 20 in the world and could do well in Rio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faster 545 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I never can understand why rhythmic gymnastics is even in the Commonwealth Games. It would make more sense to have trampoline and tumbling. Canada and Britain are internationally competitive in those disciplines while no one in the Commonwealth is internationally competitive in rhythmic. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a cheap way to re-use the Gymnastics venue, I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faster 545 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Jasmin Glaesser is a World Champion medalist, didn't medal. Just some comparisons. Cycling: Delhi 5 medals, Glasgow 1 (4 to 1 in track cycling alone) Gymnastics: Delhi 8 medals, Glasgow 6 (1 to 6 in rhythmic) Swimming: Delhi 10 medals, Glasgow 5 Shooting: 3 medals vs 2 medals Weightlifting: 5 medals vs 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
