Wow, a gymnast could have done a front tuck, a double back, and a couple A-level dance skills, and if she danced to the music well, could have made that floor final. Wow.

This is a new user, and we don't endorse it, but from what we can tell, it's free (not a paid tool), so we approved the post.

And people wonder if NCAA gymnasts wouldn't be competitive?

No, you can do it with 2 judges. Men's NCAA does it all the time. One way is both do D and E. Another is one does D and both do E. A third way is one does D and the other does E. (I prefer both doing both. It's a good check for errors on the D-score.)

I will say that an approach like the 2006 men's NCAA code might actually spread scores out without losing the "magical 10s" NCAA fans (and athletes, frankly) love. 1) Cap D-scores at 4.6 with 0.2 bonus for C dismount. One way to get 4.6 is 8Cs, which every NCAA gymnast should be able to do...

Most scores would be in the 12s and low 13s. Honestly there are quite a few NCAA routines that should score mid 9s for execution, but elite judges kind of exaggerate or even make up deductions in clean routines because they are afraid to look like they missed something. It's really a bad...

I never even heard of him. His second vault seems to be only a Kas-1.5, but his first vault is hard and looks pretty decent to me.

I wish we saw a lot more of these kinds of things. They are pretty, easier to control landings, and cool.

D...D + C with 0.2 bonus for the bounding D + C and 0.1 series bonus I actually think it's silly that front aerial + side aerial doesn't get 0.1 bonus. It's not the hardest connection, but it's also not easy to do with rhythm. And if we're okay awarding split leap + side aerial or front tuck +...

Damn! That high bar by Tang Chia-Hung demonstrates total mastery of a remarkable variety of the release elements.

I think that the team event should have: all apparatus, 6 rotations 1 per apparatus 2-vault rule they go to floor and vault together, and HB and UB together, so it FEELS like a team event and teams can cheer each other women do 2 extra routines, to equalize Men vs. Women total score

I feel like, circumstances or not, Biles was the top qualifier and the clear favorite to win in 2021, so she "wins" this thread. Wieber in 2012 and Agache in 1984 probably had the best chances of medaling besides Biles.

Japan did NOT strategize well. They should have run away with this.

they're playing naughty versions of songs in the arena.

AI Explanation of what? And is it a voice? or a graphic?
