Ana Sofia Gomez Porras continues to amaze me as I watch videos of her and the others from the Youth Olympic Games. Her vault is a Yurchenko full, and I couldn’t decide if it was tucked or just sloppy. Her bars routine was pretty nice, with a straddled jaeger and a full twisting double tuck dismount, but she will have lost a lot of tenths on missed handstands. 

But the whole reason I posted this video is of course because of her beam routine! She is quite aggressive and makes everything look very easy. What I was NOT expecting was for her to come out with that awesome backhandspring tucked full! Very nice! She reminds me a little bit of Nastia Liukin since she is so long and leggy. Her switch leap-back pike combination looks totally effortless for her, as does her free walkover-back tuck combo. Like I said in my last post….love her!
