Oh I see,  you had  it captured from another camera  than where you posed it from.  In stills  you can certainly get away with strange positions as long as you don't show another angle. :)

Didn't catch all the events but Nastia has done so beautifully, though the Olympics focus more on technical skills  I find the combination of  grace and skill far more admirable.  It takes special abilities to flow from a wonderful dance move into a difficult trick without the grim concentration of preparation for it. But perhaps that's more valued in show-biz.  Felt sad for Anna Pavlova losing her score when she beat the green light  at the start of the vaults.  Enjoyed your input :)
