.1 form, .3 chest, .1 step is a fine assessment for the code (even though it’s dumb that an element without truly huge error can lose more points than it’s actually worth). As already explained in the other thread, I gave .5 already, being more lenient on the chest position since I already nitpicked multiple other errors which were not actively being taken in the 13-16 code and even these days wouldn’t be taken by all judges.

I agree. We could have avoided this lengthy discussion if you simply said this from the outset, rather than maintaining your belligerent and stubborn position on disregarding an obvious 0.3 body posture deduction.

Why list them then?

That feels more accurate to me (and helpful for an athlete, if scores-per-element were recorded, as they should be). Acknowledging all of the different flaws while coming to the same score conclusion, instead of just slamming one specific borderline flaw.

A valid point, but it is what the gymnasts are scored against…multiple gymnasts and coaches have figured this out by now and choose to only do elements that they can minimize the deductions on.
Interestingly enough, the US which often relied on huge difficulty done with sometimes questionable execution have also now adjusted their routine composition strategy.
 
Since Andrade had her vault mishap, we had:
  • MAG qualifications hot mess, including everyone falling everywhere and Whittenburg outdoing Andrade in the vaulting disasters category
  • WAG TF holy fuckballs drama! Canada wins bronze! Japan meltdown on bars! China…whatever that was. Flavia withdrawing except for bars.
  • MAG TF burn the pommel horse with fire NOOOOOOOOOOW!
So easy to forget what happened to Andrade on vault in TQ.
