Floor, vault, bars, beam - 2 heavy leg routines in a row, better rotation set-up would be floor, bars, vault, beam - better to be warm before doing vault because it is so explosive. For guys it's harder to separate from the arm heavy and leg heavy events - rings/p-bars/pommel/high bar - arm heavy, vault/floor - leg heavy - and then you have the press handstands and planches and flares to on the floor. Shawn Johnson is set up to be one of the favorites for the AA, as she is 5th in the rotations on floor and beam, 4th on vault, and 3rd in bars for Sumnday's women's prelims. Nastia will sure to be 5th in the bars rotation set-up with her 17+ A value difficulty score. China's He Hexin will be challenging Nastia for the gold on bars is EF, with also a 17+ A value difficulty score.
