And if “going back to the perfect 10” were somehow the solution, they could just highlight the execution score by announcing it first or something. But i always thought the perfect 10 was bs, as a casual viewer, because everyone was getting 9.9s. Then they started adding on decimal places, then they really started knocking the scores down and it became apparent that a 10 was never, ever going to be achieved again, so why make the athletes strive toward something impossible?
They give out 10s a little too frequently in ncaa, especially if you are a big name athlete, but at least it is possible. When most meets only have 2-4 gymnasts doing AA, it doesn’t matter that they all score a 39.2-39.6 but could you imagine that at Wolds? An 18 way tie for gold!
