British WAG and MAG talk 2025

wasn’t the selection criteria for the national squad a 50.5+ here?

Yeah apart for APA which I assume is all the main gymnasts. Then d score and other comps are taken into consideration

[DaniH]

Lots of height and potential on Frances Stone’s vault. Definitely potential to turn it into a DTY. Did anyone compete a vault higher than a FTY at champs?

 

[KorbutFan]

I’m catching up with the finals now. Hepworth’s scale on floor was absolutely pathetic.

There are genuinely kids who do an hour a week on a Saturday morning who could do that better.

I cannot see this requirement staying. It’s even worse than the 2001 static hold on beam. Who can forget Patterson’s headstand

I think it is kinda awesome--you can see who is skimping on what should be a super basic thing and ding the hell out of them. Do we think the Chinese or Japanese guys are going to show up with a wobbly airplane? (Honestly asking, I haven't been seeing any of the world cups if they've sent any men and if theirs are as bad as some of the compilation video examples I've seen.)

Oh I definitely like it and I can’t wait to see how it plays out at world floor finals. But I just don’t see them persevering with it

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Anyone know where I might see said scale? I missed everything earlier, and it sounds irresistible.

I hope that Grace is ok. She scratched her second vault after taking a fall on the first.

She looked like she winded herself, but she was able to walk off the podium

Isn’t it just a 0.3 for not doing the scale?

If so - you’d think a lot of MAG will just forego it entirely.

Yes I think so, but I guess in some competitions, 0.3 is a lot.

What options actually are there? Is it really just Y scale or arabesque? Could you do a T stand or L stand?

Grace Grace did a one and a half in the AA

 

[DaniH]

Grace Grace did a one and a half in the AA

Good old Grace Grace

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Catching up now, and you all were not exaggerating at all about that scale, were you? I wondered if some dramatic effect was being employed. Nope!

 

[OnlyBeansOnToast]

Or the AAAA as she calls it.

 

[MaryClare]

Catching up now, and you all were not exaggerating at all about that scale, were you? I wondered if some dramatic effect was being employed. Nope!

If you told me that these lads had a bet to see who could do the worse scale or arabesque, I could absolutely believe you

we have a leotards thread for Worlds, we should do a scales thread for worlds so we can rank scales.

I’m pretty sure my coach kept a burn book of ugly scales
