Raisman banged her foot on one of the asymmetric bars in the second routine and began to look concerned. Douglas, for all her prowess on the apparatus, was beaten by the two Russians, with Mustafina scoring a high 16.100, but the American stayed in the lead.
With Douglas and the 17-year-old Komova duelling for the gold, their team mates were left to fight for bronze and Mustafina looked to have thrown away her chances when she came off the beam attempting to complete a twisting somersault.
Her score was a low 13.633 and Raisman took to the narrow piece of wood knowing she could take advantage. Her hopes shrivelled, though, when she only just saved herself from overbalancing and then wobbled precariously on a spin and she dropped to fifth place.
Though she recovered with 15.133 on the floor, where she won a world bronze medal last October, it was not enough to put her ahead of 2010 world all-around champion Mustafina.
She is the best at the event and will be desperate for a medal after coming so close on the all around. I think price should be lower...

Sorry completely lost this thread, I copied it from some news page about the all around results, she actually came 4th on equal points and lost out to a medal. She then challenged the difficulty awarded in the beam event earlier and managed to change her position to just above 3rd placed Mustafina with equal points.
She nailed her floor exercise and took gold as expected, a great price - should have been evens or lower. |
