Suni is warming up floor

 

[Laura722]

Looks like Gabby is doing a double tuck dismount on beam instead of the double pike.

 

[Laura722]

The green leo looks really great on Suni. Much better beam warm-up than PT yesterday:

 

[Concorde]

Ok so I did a slow mo on Gabby's Switch Half on beam. That free leg is not even close to 45* on the switch.

Looking at the CoP, it looks like a "small fault" but no effect on D score. Is that right? I always thought not hitting at least 45 downgraded a Switch to a Split. Did they change it?

General Note for Anyone Wondering Why a Score May Seem Low when Something Looks Clean on Slow-Mo / Freeze Frame:

Based on recent examples in STS, gymnasts need to be showing full positions in real time to avoid body shape deductions.

Example:

Real Time - Split jump appears to be just short of 180 degree split
Slow Motion /Freeze Frame - Split jump attains 180 degree split
Judging Result -> 0.1 deduction for body shape

The 45 degree leg swing requirement for receiving credit on switch-type elements was eliminated beginning with the 2017 - 2021 COP.

Much more green under the arena lights

 

[RedBirdie]

That is pretty

 

[Sasha]

It's gorgeous.

 

[Laura722]

They don't have a 0.000 down for Suni's UB, so maybe she will do UB? They have 0's for Addison Fatta's scatches.

 

[RedBirdie]

There no way she makes it through the next six weeks

Here we go. Hope this meet lives up to expectations

I wonder if Suni's bars will come down to how she does going into the last rotation. If she does them and doesn't make the AA cut she can't petition to AA at Nationals. If she doesn't do bars she can petition to do them at Nationals citing injury (kidneys) I think.

Thanks!

jesus i’ve been around for too many codes!

I guess it would “add” a small to a lack of split “small” right? and the judge can consider that a 3?

kinda weird argument to make - my kidneys stopped me doing bars but were totally fine for floor

 

[Laura722]

I'm very nervous for Gabby. She struggled some on UB in the warm-up.

 

[RedBirdie]

Let's get this going. Bailed out on baseball (and then it didn't even rain!), I'm on my fifth beer of the day, and they're about to run the Preakness. And then at some point I need to watch session 1.

 

[JaJa]

My nerves are already shot

 

[Passion]

I wonder who will be commentating.

 

[MaryClare]

Gabby’s leotard is beautiful. It suits her so well

 

[Passion]

My nerves are already shot

Seriously, I'm sitting here with six tabs open stressing out lol. There's so much that's about to happen in the next two hours it's going to be impossible to keep up. We're going to miss routines, I don't want to miss any routines!
