Some of the balances were painful. I’m for anything that increases variety and hopefully we won’t just see hundreds of number 67.

Intrigued to see how the corner transition rule works out next year.

Counting the dismount on floor 1st before calculating the rest of the routine will be interesting, especially since the dismount must be a double flip of some kind.

 

[Passion]

I already hate leaps in WAG FX, but this isn’t as bad as I thought it would be, since only #73 is actually a leap. The other nine elements look pretty interesting.

I’m glad there’s still an option to do the scale because a handful of people were performing them beautifully.

I think this is going to make Men's FX far more exciting! The face plants are going to be amazing

There's a tiny part of me is going to miss them.

I believe we will see more cartwheels and leaps due to the corner transition rule.

Agreed. Would also be pretty mean to yank the option away when some gymnasts have put time and effort in to improving theirs.

Yes, for the most part I tend towards making it viable to do things like this rather than compulsory. Leave room for the ones who actually excel at a skill to choose it.

I’m feeling thick, what’s the rationale behind this simplifying things?

I was wondering that myself since isn't the dismount always included in the 8 elements? And since they upped a double pike to a D, I'm assuming that will the be dismount du jour

This whole thing doesn't take effect until after worlds, right? My heart is hoping for a beautiful montages of shitty scales from qualifications.

It’s ridiculous that a double pike has the same rating in the mens code as in the women’s. What are they doing?! Did someone look at the sport and think ya know, what we really need are more double pikes?!

What do we think the accompanying music should be? My initial thought is Waltz of the Flowers.
