That’s absurd.

Since they butchered showing Kayla DiCello’s floor, here it is without someone else’s floor music playing over it.

Do people think Suni will keep the ring leaps? Only Flavia can be sure of doing them deduction free right?

Do people think Suni will keep the ring leaps? Only Flavia can be sure of doing them deduction free right?

I believe it makes sense for Suni to keep the ring elements in her balance beam routine because of how much difficulty value and connection/series bonus she is able to generate from them. She performs them sufficiently well to consistently receive credit and only incurs a small amount of built-in deductions(just the insufficient arch) to take the risk.

I think the 2004 team may not have been the best team for 6-3-3. I sort of feel like Marta was still learning the system then.

Hatch shouldn’t have been selected. But I think what complicated everything was McCool securing a spot

 

[Lisaelaine80]

She was a lovely gymnast to watch, though.

front pike mount
(bent knees), 0.1

layout stepout
(large balance adjustment, movement of torso, leg off of beam), 0.5

switch leap + switch leap 1/2
(poor rhythm of connection), 0.1 * (alternatively do not credit connection as it looked like momentum may have stopped before the switch leap 1/2 and do not deduct for rhythm)

switch leap 1/2
(insufficient split, between 1 and 20 degrees), 0.1

aerial
(bent knee), 0.1

aerial + split jump
(poor rhythm of connection), 0.1
