awkward 'robot' walk when walking onto floor, off of floor,
Anyone else think the 'robot' walk the girl gymnasts especially do when they are walking onto the floor, or to their next event, or walking off the floor after their floor routine is really awkward - like robot walk until you get to the end of the floor/podium, and then relaxed walking, it's just weird looking. And what is with that? ...reminds me of the little girls in boxes thing...why can't we act normal all the time, and walk like a normal person, not like we're in the military for example. Looks like Alicia Sacramone does the 'robot' look and walk the least, the younger gynmnasts the most...interesting.

Ha Ha Ha. It's really funny when the girls stick their chins up obnoxiously high too.

At the 2007 Worlds the more experienced older gymnasts - like Catalina Ponor and Elena Zamolodchikova - didn't do the robot walk but the younger girls newer to the international elite scene totally did. It looks really unnatural and robot-like.
