I think a point that may also be getting lost is that relatively clean looking elements and connections can still incur substantial deductions. As an example, how much in deductions would you guess that Blakely incurred on her Stalder to Higgins Roll + Piked Jaegar during team finals of the...

Deng received a DNS for her first vault which makes her ineligible to attempt a second vault. The DNS criteria are: 1. Touch springboard without execution of vault (Voinea from the 2023 World Championships is an example) 2. Run over table (This applies to Deng.) 3. If 'Empty' Run twice (Two...

Although Nemour has only made one major mistake in 2025 on uneven bars, I was surprised by the number of times she has made a minor error(e.g. crooked or a little off on an element, or broken an intended connection) this year: Italian Serie A: Didn't Connect Stalder Full and Derwael - Fenton...

I’m surprised they’ve gone this route with her routine construction after Kinsella’s issues from having both a triple twist and a 2 1/2 twist in the same routine.

All four countries:

Now tell us how you feel about this only being a deduction on vault. ;) (Outside of vault, only saltos without twist can be deducted for insufficient exactness of tuck or pike).

Couple Things: 1. Per FlipFlyTumble / Emily, the AI judging is only being used for illustrative/audience purposes and not for actual scoring. 2. How the D Panel arrived at the downgrade for Wong's Baitova: Per the WTC presentations on vault in STS, a stretched Vault is downgraded to tuck if...

The criteria the WTC gives in STS for downgrading a double layout to a double pike is when the gymnast shows pike upon entry to the second salto. Caylor is fine in this regard because she maintains the layout position until she is almost inverted. Correct

Here is her routine from qualifications: I would have credited the Aerial + Split Jump + Straddle Jump connection. We don’t have a good angle to make an accurate assessment of the Split Ring Jump, but based on the insufficient arch seen in the podium training videos, I think it was probably...

Yes - Caylor is likely receiving a deduction for failure to maintain stretched body posture / piking too early because she is piking before her body has hit a completely inverted position on the second salto.

From studying the WTC presentations on the COP and the examples in STS, my impression is that this is exactly what the judges are being instructed to do - to be able to see everything in real time or else deduct. As a refresher, we had this discussion about a year ago and most of us agreed that...

From the livestream angle, I would have credited the Switch Ring Leap(foot to crown of head and sufficient arch). I think the D panel didn't credit the Switch Leap + Switch Leap 1/2 connection due to the slight pause before taking off for the Switch Leap 1/2. This cost her 0.1 in CV for the...

Wong's floor exercise starts out of a 5.3: Acro DV: H x 1, D x 1 C x 1, B x 1 = 1.7 DV Dance DV: E x 1, C x 3 = 1.4 DV CV: None Dismount Bonus: D -> 0.2 CR - 2.0 Total D Score - 5.3

The D panel didn't credit the Memmel. Caylor's potential D Score is 5.7: Acro DV : F x 1, D x 2, C x 1 = 1.7 DV Dance DV: E x 1, D x 1, C x 2 = 1.5 DV Acro CV: C + D Indirect x 1 + D + A Direct x 1 = 0.3 CV Dismount Bonus: D -> 0.2 Total D Score - 5.7 Downgrading the Memmel to either a...

The D panel should have credited the first front tuck as complete and eligible for DV and counting toward CR # 4 / Salto Backward and Forward because Visser took off for the element in bounds and landed it feet first prior to the fall.
