Here’s my opinion. What do you think?
I really want her to do well, but her coach is hurting her chances with this exercise construction. The E-score is going to be below 8 guaranteed. Some elements are actually built-in deductions to her score that override the gains.
Revised E-score: Up 1.5… Something like 0.8 for execution and 0.7 for artistry.
Net change — up 0.9, almost a full point. Making these changes could lead to a very confident, well-executed shorter exercise with lots of room for real choreo.

- Back dive to candlestick (D)
- Flip- flop full (B + F + 0.2)
- Korbut (+0.1) No gain, but it gets her low to the beam
- Aerial + Split + Straddle (DBB+ 0.2)
- Switch split + switch half + back tuck Even at its very best, the switch half will lose 0.3, guaranteed. She’ll likely lose 0.1 for rhythm and 0.1 on the back tuck, too
- Straddle half + jump full. (D + D + 0.2) –0.1 for amplitude on each element, 0.1 for form on each element (straddle position and leg separation on the jump full) –0.1 for rhythm. Net gain, I guess.
- L spin + full spin + Illusion (C + A + D + 0.2). The L and Illusion spins never hit a solid position, the Illusion is incomplete, and there’s balance deductions. It’s just not worth it.
- Dismount (G+0.2 or D)
- MISSING: combination of movements low to the beam
- MISSING: complex and creative movement
- MISSING: substantial work in relevé.
- MISSING: variation in rhythm
- MISSING: personal style
- AT RISK: Confidence
- AT RISK: Fluency
