2022 Winter Cup Women's Discussion February 26, 2022

[Doug1233]

Great routine but not an 8.5 haha

 

[RedBirdie]

Someone smack Tim and Nastia. They know damn well McClain isn’t getting a 9 on beam.

 

[Doug1233]

Inquiry for frazier. did they not credit the pak?

 

[onodian]

A country getting invaded and now tim and nastia giving deliberately obtuse commentary on scores? I guess it’s a week of surprises

 

[Doug1233]

The continual overscoring of Frazier and the underscoring of Skye is perplexing…

 

[RedBirdie]

Once again, wolf turns need to die.

Watching it now. I’m enjoying the beam the most.

Katelyn Jong: very nice back full.

Ashlee Sullivan: gorgeous arabian, great height. Until seeing hers today, my gold standard of arabians on beam was Katia Lobaznyuk in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, but I think this is my new gold standard. NBC was so stupid, they didn’t show it in the slow motion replay.

Skye Blakely: beautiful back full. Hers was my favorite routine because it has a front walkover front tuck. It would be cool if she could block off her shoulders a little to make it a front handspring front tuck, but that would be more risky. Her aerial cartwheel looked so easy for her, if a bit low. Also the dismount (double back tuck) seemed too easy, not up to the difficulty of the rest of her routine. Yet still my fave beam routine that I saw, although I would take out the diamond pose with her legs in the mount.

Inquiry for frazier. did they not credit the pak?

Since USAG still can’t figure out how to do live scores in 2022(!), no idea. Certainly no CV credit, maybe that’s all?

 

[MAGfan]

There was live scoring on myusagym.com. Now, I didn’t see start values, but I wasn’t looking either…

 

[Doug1233]

Surely she wouldn’t inquire as to CV credit lol. If they don’t give her the pak then she loses the CR for high to low transition. It’s a huge issue on her D Score.

You have a lot more faith in US coaches to fully understand rules than I do.

 

[MAGfan]

Of course, myusagym is down again…hoping they get it back up before ETC!

 

[RedBirdie]

There was live scoring on myusagym.com. Now, I didn’t see start values, but I wasn’t looking either…

When lives scores are working, if you click on Start List you can find d and e score breakdowns that way.

But that would requires scores to be working the first place, so…

 

[MAGfan]

Yes. They were working for quite a while, but now are down again. I lost my connection midway thru the meet so was following scores (well, and using that to see what all the gymnasts were doing since NBC coverage sucks.) But now…gone…ugh

 

[crdubb17]

I was there in person. Konnor’s beam was definitely the most impressive thing of the day. Everything else was ok, but it’s still early in the season. I don’t see any emerging stars at the moment. I was surprised by Ashlee from Woga. I don’t remember her from juniors last year, so it feels she came out of nowhere.

I didn’t notice too much of a change in how people have adapted to the code, just less Wolf turns and only fewer side jumps.

I’m a little disappointed Kaliyah Lincoln, Kailin Chio, and Shilese weren’t here. I could also see Suni and Leanne successfully returning if they can stay healthy and consistent.

 

[Doug1233]

so they didn’t give frazier Layout credit

harsh IMO but within the guidelines. has to have no pike at 45 degrees and there’s clear pike here.

stupid rule i’m not in favour

 

[Doug1233]

 

[blueghost]

Terrifying fall from eMjae. So lucky, she could have been seriously injured.

This was bad… a perfect example of why coaches need to teach their athletes to “leg bounce” off the bar. Very important crash skill.

And Konnor is looking awesome!

 

[Livi]

Yet still my fave beam routine that I saw, although I would take out the diamond pose with her legs in the mount.

I read that last sentence as: take out the diamond pose with her legs in her mouth.

Guess it’s early here
