Aliya Mustafina: Her Events

   I did this Her Events Segment with McKayla Maroney, but no website is complete without a slew of articles about Aliya Mustafina.  Before I do an article about how she is the comeback kid, I will judge each of her events


Vault: This used to be a great area for Aliya, she performed the Amanar vault that the USA gymnasts do so well on, and she was amazing on it. But, ever since her injury in 2011 at the Euros (I have the link below) She stopped doing it, just because of pure trauma, that injury could have ended her career, and she didn't want to risk it again. Aliya may pull that smaller vault, but she relies on precision, great form, great landing, sometimes her twisting form is really bad.

Uneven Bars: Aliya is a true prodigy on this event, winning gold in 2012. Beating a Chinese athlete! Aliya is truly a golden girl on bars,  the best in the world. She is the reigning Olympic Champion, and I think I will see her defending her title in Rio. From the mount to the dismount, and every handstand and release in between. she was beautiful. She was just, amazing. No words can describe.



Balance Beam: Aliya was amazing on this event as well, especially in 2013, when she won the gold on the balance beam. She had that perfect blend of artistry and power. She blended them to perfection. Aliya won her first gold 2013 at an international meet. Once again, beating Chinese athletes. She is a power, and can truly win gold in Rio, as well as defending her title on bars


Floor Exercise: Aliya has very powerful music this event, and even if she had issues with her double arabian in the qualifications for 2013 Worlds All-Around and other events, she can really rock this event, she medaled bronze at the Olympics with a powerful routine. I respect Aliya on this event, and I cannot help being enticed by Aliya and her choreography and power.


   Aliya Mustafina is a very good athlete, she had a history of struggles on vault, including that injury that we saw. But, after Aliya gets vault put aside, watch out, this girl is a contender!
