I feel like you can tell when the Chinese Team is struggling because all their Rudis, DTTs and 9.2E DTYs turn into FTYs.

I wish there was a 1000% button instead of 100%. Strongly agree with everything you are saying here.

Oh, for sure. Not exactly sure of the FIG allowed range in the new code, I haven’t read that section yet. But up to a point is understandable when a routine is being so heavily deducted and there are so many possible judgement calls, flexed foot moments, and bent-kneed skills.

I don’t think they’ve changed them since the last Code. Not yet anyway.

They’ve also not updated the public helpdesk. I know there was a series of powerpoint slides when they did the judges course but (like many things that would be useful to disclose) they were never publicly released on the FIG website.

I think another factor is that handstand positions are actually judged now and were certainly less of a priority (or even overlooked completely, in the case of pirouetting elements) in prior decades. Gymnasts like Suni Lee see to be casting to handstand with a slightly wider grip for stability for the handstand, and then narrowing their grip to get more speed on the downswing for a release move or giant.

just based on scores, she’s on the team

Interesting how Jessica from Gymcastic isn’t crying about Alipio not being picked for the Worlds team.

The weekend before Worlds. The US team will leave right from selection camp.
Unlikely to have videos as I am sure it will be posted on the Flip channel that is partnered with USAG.

Well how about that!

 

[RedBirdie]

Veeeeeeery interesting!

 

[rlayt]

I hope they can clean her up. It could be the biggest turn around since Jade started doing bars!

 

[KristyJ]

I think this could be an excellent choice for her.
