Split leap was downgraded in 2022, it was popular before then for the connection/series bonus. A single split leap being able to give both of those bonuses at the same time was lame, but it would be nice if multiple A skills in a row could be used for connection bonus.

The wolf jump is just backup composition requirement. FHS + Front Tuck (D) + Split = .4 cv Switch (C) + Switch 1/2 (D) + Korbut = .3 cv Side Somi (D) + Tuck 1/1 (D) = .2 cv Aerial (D) + Ring Jump (D) + BHS = .4 cv Triple Twist (F) = .2 bonus I hope she brings back the full 7.2D eventually, but...

Thanks! Does anyone know when the Driggs and Lopez vaults were first performed? Can't find any exact dates.

It's so sad how across Becky's long career and 3 Olympic berths, she was robbed of the 2 most important Olympics - the one in her home country and the one where the team won a medal. Becky without a doubt should have been on that 2021 team. Her bars were better than Amelie Morgan's and her beam...

The code needs to start differentiating between Tsuk and Kas; they aren't the same thing and it makes no sense to have a rule of wanting to reward different directions of vault entry, but then pretend the Kas entry isn't predominantly forward. You run forward at the table, turn to sideways onto...

I love a nice triple turn, but the smartest non-acro element is the Moerz (pike full to prone position). It's overvalued at C, and not having to worry about a real landing means you get to angle your body in the air and make it easy to hit the required position. The only deduction that can ever...

I went and watched these vaults after seeing some discourse about it, and now I'm even more angry about the result. I already knew the bonus rule would be a problem and this shows exactly why. In no logical world should Karina should have beaten Valentina. They both did "forward" vaults (to...

If lukewarm, childish routines are still getting 9.95's and 10.0's, I won't be watching anyway. Can go rewatch NCAA meets from the 90's, 00's, and early 10's and see much more interesting gymnastics than we've been getting. NCAA got lame as soon as judges stopped looking for risk and virtuosity...

A yurchenko full sometimes being worth more than a solid High Bar routine is the part that really burns me.

Same! I hope she sneakily shits on the COP, although I wonder if we'd even be able to tell from an English translation. That might require an actual gymnerd to be the one translating it.

We can rest assured that these 4 neighboring countries are becoming best of friends, bonding over their mutual love of this gymnastics apparatus they excel at.

I don't see any point? Where is the evidence that Camila wants her daughter to fail? She simply seems to be an incompetent coach and maybe a not-so-good mother.

Why on earth would she not want her daughter to do as well as possible. It would just give her more glory, being able to take credit for Sabrina's accomplishments. It's not as if Camelia had any records that she is scared of someone breaking.

The 0.2 bonus is actually a 0.4 bonus, because it gets applied at the end, whereas trying to improve your difficulty or execution on a vault is cut in half for vault finals. For example, if your vaults are a DTY and Tsuk 1.5, changing that Tsuk 1.5 into a Lopez (same difficulty 2nd vault) is the...

How about Olympic medalist Tan Jiaxin?
