It is the equivalent to a pike-in to straddle cut being a same-bar flight element on UB. Both are anemic and are in need of a gymnastics transfusion.

This type of acro series is the type of non-series that I just cannot agree with.

Not a switch split 360° - it was an attempt at a tour jeté 180° that was only credited as a tour jeté.

...and they tied for rank 4°.

After the Ezhova she hit her feet on the mat at the extension of the kip, so coupled with the fall on the attempted Stalder 360°, an E-Score of 6,4 was well within warrant. It would have been close to her QC E-Score without those errors.

With the debacle of the vault - while I agree that perhaps the horse was set to the 'old' norms for the all-around why wouldn't it have been noticed during any/all of the qualification rounds or team finals? Personally I think that during the change over from MAG to WAG - it was just set to...

Actual, there are WG (FIG) rules that do come into effect that the federations are bound to, at least for WAG. Starting at the top, the intercontinental course participation is limited to two participants per federation with the exception that IF a federation has a category 1(s) judge, they can...

Judges have the ability to do one retest per cycle. If they went to the intercontinental course they can either retest at one of the in-person continental union courses, or do the one-off course in SUI (I believe max 40 participants) where you can obtain up to category 2, or do the online...

This is the problem with using USA Gym Developmental Program rules, that are bastardized even further in NCAA. In Level 10, a floor routine with four saltos would have a 0,20 "Up to the Level" for the saltos being of D, B, C and A values - In NCAA it is good to go. Maybe it's time to revamp the...

Agreed (to Denn's post). When there are aggressors and victims involved and especially if the victim(s) are minors, it is usually okay to say that there is substantiated video evidence of physical abuse that has been viewed by the appropriate authorities and an investigation has been launched...

That was such a bitter-sweet moment for me. I am so glad for the redemption - but you can almost see in her action on returning to the start, of, "Why couldn't I do that a few weeks ago?".

I'd be p*ssed that the organization couldn't even be bothered to check for errors - Exercise 4 - "non-commetition period". Very unprofessional.

Yes- the mere fact that a double wolf carries the same DV as a bwd double pike or a fwd double twist is absolutely $#%&ing ridiculous. But... FIG WTC!

I have always been a proponent of having CRs graduated in a similar manner to previous CoPs SRs where the dismount was included and was given a rating: A, B =0,0 C=0,3 and D+=0,5. So if a gymnast on floor used a simple salto forward tucked to fulfill a component of the salto directional...

I remember in our gym, one athlete who was very talented, with great knees, ankles and toes, but very rigid in the torso - she spent countless hours just working on contractions and expansions of her upper body. I remember her draped over the vaulting horse trying to adapt her body. The poor soul.
