Judging Her Gymnastics: Aliya Mustafina

    So, as we have a study hall in 1st period, and I have no homework or anything, I have decided to do a Judging Her Gymnasts on Russian Diva, Aliya Mustafina


Vault:


Even though Mustafina only competes a Yurchenko Double, she does it beautifully. She can absolutely nail it. Even though the twisting form is not perfect, its getting better. Aliya can stick that vault 98% of the time (She did not in the Nanning Team Competition or The 2014 AA) But, my point is, that this, despite having an easier vault, is a good event. Its not her strongest, but its good.





Bars:


Aliya is the Olympic Champion on htis event, that should say it all. But in case it doesn't, let me break down the bar set for you: Perfect handstands, perfect releases, perfect transitions (Especially that Pak Salto). Team Russia can always count on Aliya to compete for them on the uneven bars.



Beam:


Aliya is the 2013 World Champion in this event. Just like bars, she can do brilliant connections and hard series. But, since 2013, Aliya has kind of declined on the event, wobbling on the easier skils on her routine like a side aerial.




Floor:

This is where Aliya can express her diva-ness. As we saw in London, her floor routine was full of expressive choreo to highight her attitude. And as of 2013, that choreography changed into a mature style to show off Aliya's maturity. 



   So here, are Aliya Mustafina's events.
