I hope they aren’t crediting that side jump half with a D!

WTC logic! For the E element (with only one foot) you don’t need a closed ring, but for the C element (with both feet) you do!

Absolutely no need to apologize! I’m loving your analysis and how everything is laid out so clearly. If only the WTC was so transparent…!

"To" the crown. Not "crown height". I guess we need a sports lawyer to tell us what "to" means - but I would think that means touching the crown. You need a closed ring. Like the image:

I think that section of the Help Desk only applies to UB. See the red zoning to the left of the area you didn't snip. If it applied to BB and FX, it would be listed in the BB and FX sections. It isn't. And the General Deductions (in the actual COP, not just the Help Desk - which would apply to...

There's no way. I also doubt she would have scored a 15.9 like the Big Three did on beam.

Lovely lovely Eythora

No deduction for Aiko's Switch Ring? What is this getting these days? No closed ring (foot at head height) so 0.1? I also took for feet on the double pike (but I didn't take the full 8 for the landing so we came out at the same). And the 0.8 max applies only to landing deductions, right...

I have a 7.9 E Which makes the American Cup beam routine scoring even more weird, for me.

All the more reason to not do choreography that completely compresses her neck into her shoulders!

I'd be interested in your take on both of these (I was 0.5 short on each): As for the 90-degree rule. Of course the FIG incentivizes drilling double saltos with twist into the ground with full credit. Of course. But you dare not put both palms onto the table on your otherwise clean, high...

She has lovely lower body extension through the knees and toes but absolutely nothing in the upper body. When people referred to Mustafina and her “carriage”, I used to think it was quite an esoteric concept but now I totally get it. She just has zero upper body elongation. If you have to...

Kishi beautiful switch ring and then the fugliest ring half.

She even had boxing punches in her choreography.
