This was her only chance, that's what makes it so heartbreaking. Maybe she can stick around 4 more years for the next individual worlds and hope the stars align, but they certainly won't be putting her on any teams.
Zhang Boheng's federation not letting him compete at an Olympics and a Worlds needs to be taken into account. His 2023 Asian Games performance is better than anything Hashimoto has ever done, they should be tied for World AA titles right now, and who knows how the 2021 Olympics would have gone...
To give more detail to this, judging each routine:
Skye has perfect cast handstands and full pirouettes and pak (which is very surprising given how it's been all season), no deductions there. The rest:
.1 feet .1 bent arm Church, .1 feet .1 amplitude Downie, .1 legs .1 feet Van leeuwen, .3...
What is wrong with these ****ing coaches. There are C rated dismounts with NO SALTO in the code and you have someone with a leg injury trying to do a double salto dismount.
Easily her best of the season, I have 8.7E, but instead gets 8.1...lower than Melninoka, who had worse pirouettes, worse van leeuwen, and her typical wonky bent arm jaeger. Just absolutely fraudulent reputation based judging.
They're very much pushing off from the table. The line of "they're only tumbling over the table" that often gets repeated is not accurate. It's just that pushing off primarily from 1 arm allows you to keep the body weight more to one side and twist easier that way.
The 2 point deduction is...
We're going to need a fan cam from someone who was sitting on that side of the arena.
Melnikova's potential .3 OOB shouldn't even matter though. Leanne already should have at least tied her on floor, she was better on vault, much better on beam, and on bars Melnikova should not have scored...
