Youtube: Start Accepting mp3 files!
Youtube should start accepting .mp3 files. For the video portion, it can be a blank (white/black, or even cooler, you can pick the coller) screen. I'm getting tired of wasting 5 minutes longer than I should on making videos for FX Music!

Shawn Johnson: She Better Win!
If she and Mark do not win, I will murder the person that does win.
I'm kidding.
:P LOL xD
This, IMO, is her best dance with Mark.

Nastia, Please Do Not Get A New FX Routine!
I know this is kind of old news, but I really do nawt want Nast to get a new routine.
But it's inevitable. It's not common for anyone, really, to have the same routine for 3 years. So Nastia had to change it up.
Promise me, Nast:
1. Don't get Bond music.
2. Don't ditch the double front.
3. Add a double layout. I know it will be near imposs, but it will look stunning times 10.
and lastly, most importantly......
4. DON'T POSE, TUMBLE, POSE!
Well, anyways, thanks for reading this.

Review of Europeans
I'm not going to do a full blog on EF. I'm going to copy The Couch Gymnast. For the most part.
Europeans 2009 In Review
- - - - - - -
Best Performance: Beth Tweddle's EF UB. She was simply stunning! She added a half-twist to her toe-on Shaposh. Perfection! Good handstands, much better than normal, to win the title with a whopping 15.575 (in the new code). The only errors were the hop on the landing, and she had some leg separations in her kips.
It's not letting me embed. Grr.
That did nawt happen!: Emily Armi of Italy bailing her UB? Check my last entry for details. I don't feel like retyping it.
Worst Performance: Youna Dufourtnet's AA FX. Tragic. Poor girl landed two of her passes on her head. She was crying after her 3rd pass :(.
Disappointment: Aagje Van Wallaghem walking out without a medal. That really killed me. She was so freakin' close in the AA and VT EF!
Predictions: I got the VT Prediction and (I think) UB Prediction right! Yay me! *golf claps*
Say What?: Sandra Izbasa's EF FX. Only a 13.900? I must watch that. She, too, walked out without a medal. Surprising? Sandra had only a 4.900 SV! What was up with that?

MY FAVORITE PART: VANESSA FERRARI of Italy's floor getting the highest Execution score in the EFs with a stellar 9.275. She hit that routine phenomenally! Ehmagawd, I was stunned since Nessa is known for her bad form? Not here, she isnt! :)
Thanks for tuning in to this (semi) long entry. Hope you liked it. Sadly, europeans 2009 must end sometime. I really liked this competition!

Euros 2009: AA Final
Ksenia Semenova won. Unquestionable. She qualified first with a fall, and that was on her best event (UB). Ksenia Afanasyeva took second with a BB fall. I'm so glad she fell and did not win. I have to admit, I hate the girl and her gymnastics. She's so freaking inconsistent. It makes me so annoyed when I watch her, even when she hits. Kristina Goryunova was most unfairly pulled out of the AA to make way for Afan, because Afan screwed up in the Prelims, finishing 20th, and out of Russia's top two. Now what do you think of that? Unfair! I understand Goryunova was not a contender, but like Galieva 1992 for Gutsu, this was unfair! Only in Gutsu's case, Gutsu was not inconsistent. It was a fluke, and Afanasyeva' s mistakes were not. That's the end of that. 
Well, anyways congratulations to Ariella Kaslin of Switzerland, who pulled in a bronze, and had the highest vault score of the AA, a 15.300 (probably her Rudi). I think Ariella will win the vault title.
Aagje Van Wallaghem, who qualified third, finished a respectable 6th.
Ana Maria Tamirjan (2nd qualifier) finished 5th, after falling on her Double Straight on FX.
Ana Maria Izurieta (of Spain!!) finished fourth. I can't remember where she qualified.
I feel bad for Youna Dufourtnet, Emily Armi, and Vanessa Ferrari. Youna could have easily won the bronze. Ferrari had one heck of a time, and struggled through everything. But the highlight of her struggle was her vault. Yuck! Emily Armi, of Italy like Ferrari, scored 2.00 on bars. She qualified with a score in the 13's on UB. She messed up on simple kips and giant 1/2's, and when her coach lifted her up for the 2nd or 3rd time, she was crying, and never finished the routine.
WHAT WAS GOING ON?
Poor girl, that's all I can say.
Well, anyways, I can't wait for event finals! Good luck girls!
And Ukraine, do me a favor: LEAVE THE INCONSISTENCY AT BEIJING!
I wanna see hit for hit and nothing else.
Consider dropping the double fronts off bars, too. I'm sick of them.
Thanks for reading this long entry!

European Finalists
Well, the qualifying took place!
AA:
Semenova qualified first. No surprise. Vanessa Ferrari, only a disappointing tenth. I was so wrong about her. Belgium's Aagje Van Wallaghem finished a surprising third, and Ana Maria Tamirjan of Romania qualified second. Kaslin of Switzerland, who made the AA final in Beijing, qualified 12th, and Youna Dufourtnet of France, a make-me-cry 21st. Owch.
Vault Finalists:
1. Yulia Berger -RUS (5.5/5.7)
Boy was I wrong about her! I thought she wouldn't even qualify!
Jana Komrskova, Aagje Van Wallaghem, Ariella Kaslin, Rebecca Downie, and others qualified. Kaslin messed up her Layout Rudi.
Uneven Bars Finalists:
Beth Tweddle (1st), Anja Brinker (2nd), Youna Dufourtnet, Ksenia Semenova (fell, 8th qualifier), Anastasia Koval, Rebecca Downie, and others.
Balance Beam Finalists:
Vasiliski Milousi of Greece qualified first! What an accomplishment! She has 6.0 Difficulty in the new code. Semenova, Tamirjan, Maksyuta, Dragoi, and Yasmin Zimmerman qualifed, along with others. Zimmerman qualified last.
Floor Exercise Finalists:
Beth Tweddle qualified over Sandra Izbasa (reigning olympic champion!) first, by a .5 landslide. Ferrari qualified third, Semenova fourth, Tamirjan, Ana Maria Izurieta of Spain, Parolari, and Holenkova qualified (in that order). Looking forward to seeing Beth win!
Youna Dufourtnet screwed up. I'm quite dissappointed.
