Want to have a gymnast's routine rejudged by Gymnaverse crew? Have questions about D score? Think E score is too high or to low?

Put your requests in this thread. If possible, attach a video.

I'd be curious to see the panel compare Jordan's and Jade's beam routines from podium training. I definitely felt like Jade was cleaner and her dance elements had improved.
 
This head-on angle is a tough view to judge beam.

Given that, I have them both at 8.0, and I maybe was lenient because of the angle. Both of them landed dismounts low and took good-sized steps. I also think they will likely get similar artistry / apparatus deductions. Carey's leg form is better than Chiles', but her leap series has deductions for the split positions. Chiles has better rhythm and a little more style, but Carey doesn't have the little balance checks like Chiles did.

I suspect that, from side view, I might find more issues with Chiles' split positions, for example.

I had Jordan 7.7 and Jade 7.4 . But that's a Tokyo pen.

We really don't know what Pen they're going to use until we start seeing scores in Sub 1. The difference between a Liverpool and a Tokyo Pen can be huge - especially when there are a lot of body shape issues where the 0.1 v. 0.3 "choice" can rack up across 3 or 4 dance elements.
 
In a completely unrelated comment - and this is more a critique of the CoP more than a critique of a routine - I cannot believe that a Yurchenko 1/2 on Pike Barani is a 4.2, and a Layout Barani is a 4.8.

The "pike v' layout" question should not be worth 0.6. It just simply shouldn't.



Outrageous that this was a 0.6 downgrade. Yes there was a tiny bit of pike but c'mon. Give her layout and take 0.3.
 
Can someone find Sabrina Voinea’s floor?

I had 6.8 E and I was being GENEROUS. I could have gotten that down to a 6.5 and it wouldn’t have even been harsh.

FIG: 7.600

Just a couple tenths lower than Suni.

Can someone else judge it too so I’m not going mad?
 
Hezly's beam.

I'm really trying to figure out how she got such a low score cuz I thought since she didn't come off and her hands didn't touch on that sort of fall it shouldn't be that much? Idk really. Just confused.
 
Hezly went over time (.01 nd) and she also got a .5 deduction for falling on beam.
She had a deduction when she balked her first leap series.
I don't know if she was credited with a leap series as all since her knee hit the beam which stopped her from falling.
Her dismount was about .8 deductions.
7.133 was correct IMO as I had her at 7.0.
 
Poor Shallon's vault. The Cheng. I can't find the video but someone posted a still so it might be out there in the X-itter.
 
Quick note on Suni's D Score on Beam:

From a potential of 6.7 D Score, here are the modifications / errors that led to the 6.0 D Score in qualifications:

DV

1. Counting Layout Stepout in place of Layout Stepout Mount (E -> C), -0.2 DV
2. Mitchell downgraded to a double turn in tuck stand because the free leg touched the beam before the third rotation was fully completed (E -> D), -0.1 DV

Total DV Los - 0.3

CV / SV

1. Loss of 0.1 CV for the aerial + split jump connection due to the balance check on the aerial
2. Loss of 0.1 SB for the aerial + split jump + back handspring stepout series
3. Loss of 0.1 CV for the layout stepout + layout stepout connection due to only performing a single layout stepout
4. Loss of 0.1 SB for the side aerial + layout stepout + layout stepout series

Total CV / SB Lost - 0.4

Total D Score Lost - 0.7

That makes a lot more sense!
 
So, not sure how videos of individual routines will be posted, but somehow NothingButCrap got the judges view, side camera for the UB. Guess peacock drew the short straw. Unfortunately, that won't help with lots of the other gymnasts cuz for US primetime, almost no one exists but USA.

I get to 8.3 as well, but very differently. Click to see the video (cued up)



kip + cast HS — I feel the kip is fully extended; slight pike in HS .1
van Leeuwen — leg separation .1, bend .1
kip + cast HS — grip adjustment .1
giant blind
jaeger
kip + cast HS
toe full — within 30° past hs 0.1
piked tkatchev - leg separation .1
I really don't see a deductible leg bend and the feet are fine for a Tkatchev, I feel.
Pak – bent arms .1, maybe leg form, but I am not sure
Maloney — leg separation .1
Geinger — height/distance .1 / bent arm recatch .1
(not fair to be harsher — it's between the bars)
kip cast HS — slight pike in HS, grip adjustment .1
dismount — feet .1, flung out .1, leg sep .1, step .3

E-score: 8.3

Can we do a comparative Carey vs Andrade DTY? You know, cause we haven't had reasons for outrage lately
