The -.500 deduction for your coach making sure you don't injure yourself severely is SO stupid.

@leykimayri

No it is not, unless you know nothing about gymnastics. If there is no penalty, then everyone will have their coach there and especially they are going to perform vaults that they haven't mastered yet, and they would just depend on the safety of the spotter that he may intervene if something goes wrong.

No it isn't. If you think you're going to seriously injure yourself on a skill, you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. If you want the coach there for mental support, then you can take the deduction, which is what Simone chose. Spotters are allowed for bars because fluke accidents are more common.

@lizzie7654

It makes no sense. It should simply be like UB, if a vault is a certain difficulty level the coach should be allowed to stand in, with no deduction unless touching the gymnast. (And yes, Yurchenko double pike should more than qualify)

I'm 30 minutes into the video, and I'm so happy to get to see so many gymnasts represented on this broadcast :D :D

Unfortunately, her ballet and performance skills don't get better over the years. Her routines are just not pretty to look at. There is a lack of stretch and tension and graceful movements that gymnastics needs. Years ago she could score points by showing higher difficulties than other gymnasts, but they have caught up now and just show additional graceful movements. I'm afraid Jade won't make a world championship or Olympic comeback.

WOW Jades first fx landing was incredible! Simone also had a beautiful landing with her Chuso pass, and those VAULTS?!! How dare she stick that DPY!! And then her Cheng was soooooo powerful she went flying off the table. Shilese is brilliant and her bars were *chefs kiss*. Jocelyn has so much potential, I just need her to get the form down, more lines and extension and clean execution. Leeann is one of my faves! Her gymnastics is just stunning, I mean look at that beam routine! The grace, the flow, the lines, the form, that switch ring! JO And Jade can both do better. Suni worries me, but only because of her health issues. Skye Blakely is also fantastic, but she worries me with consistency. Zoe Miller bars is superb, but I'm not seeing another event where she can bring another high score for team. Tiana is definitely a star, but this may be too early for her yet.

Good job coming out to another competition Suni, we all know you are a phenomenal gymnast, even if you may not feel your best right now.

It's so nice to finally see some graceful artistry from Shilese. She's so pretty but she hasn't done a lot of graceful dance moves, instead favoring the jarring and jerking kind of "dance." This is such a prettier routine. I hope she sticks with it.

I’m an outsider to gymnastics and trying to learn more about it, does anyone know why a double pike is considered the most difficult vault? It seems to be the go to for a last pass on floor and extremely common as a dismount on beam, is it because you don’t have all of the acrobatic skills directly before?

I like Josc’s floor routine too! It’s fun!

Team after night 1: Simone (VT/UB/BB/FX) Shilese (VT/UB/FX) Skye (VT/UB/BB) Kaliya (FX) Leanne (BB) Tiana has a better beam than Leanne but Leanne is a better back up on bars.

And this is a big adjustment for her. And like Sam said, she doesn't have the repetition which, by the way, that reminds me of Bella corolli period Bella said the way to perfection is constant practice and repetition and he was right. I can say that it's also been the case for me. With gymnastics, cheerleading, and martial arts, I had to do them billions and thousands of times in practice and in tournaments and competition. Once she messed up once, I feel like it was a downward spiral for her and she is so disappointed in herself. You can see it on her face like she just gave up while she was on beam.

Joscelyn's difficulty is very high, but her form is riddled with errors. Every skill should be done with pointed toes, and most require very straight legs. Every wobble is a deduction (three very obvious wobbles basically amounts to a fall). The list goes on. The good news is that her form has improved (and will likely continue to improve) since she's been training at Simone's gym! She's definitely a contender for the next Olympics.

Does Nastia not work for NBC anymore?

A couple of things. Why is there a deduction for Simone's coach on the vault but not for a coach on bars or a coach AND extra mat on the floor? All of it is about safety so why the difference. It's not like Simone's coach is gonna help her complete the vault - he's literally just there for safety. Makes no sense. Also, why are there college/elite categories for women's gymnastics but the men's program just is it was it and you bounce back and forth seemlessly?

There was a terrible accident during the '80s so ever since they allow a spotter on bars. On vault though the danger is higher and they want to DISCOURAGE gymnasts from trying vaults they haven't mastered yet which would put them in danger even with a spotter nearby. Same thing about mats, they aren't allowed in international competitions to discourage athletes to perform tumblings they haven't perfected yet. Men Artistic Gymnastic is basically a different discipline and there is nothing to compare there

@millyfr7783

I don’t have the answers to all your questions, but the reason she is allowed a mat on floor is because when a skill is above either d or e (I don’t remember which) the gymnast can have a mat simply because it protects their ankles when coming down form such a height

@karyon1007

The FIG is a bit notorious for applying inconsistent logic with their rules. This one makes little sense to me, too. FWIW, you can't use extra landing mats on floor at international competitions. The coach is technically only there to remove the mat at US/NCAA meets. Men's and women's gymnastics is run by completely different sets of people and are really different sports, so the answer is very complicated. A big part of it is because the women's national team was run by controlling jackasses for decades. The men have to be 18 before competing senior elite, women 16 (I actually think most of the competitors at Nationals haven't graduated from high school yet). People used to think that women just couldn't/shouldn't keep competing in their 20s. Before NIL it was more profitable for the top women to turn pro rather than to compete in NCAA. This was less true for men because their sport is less popular in the US. Plus a bunch of other stuff.

Q1 (and I preface this by saying this rule is a bad rule and safety measures that don’t interfere with the athlete’s performance should always be allowed), it’s as basic as the fact that it is allowable in the code of points to stand in for bars, but it isn’t on the other events. The other issue appears to be that in order for Laurent to spot from his dominant side, he is standing right in front of the judges, impeding their view. Q2, the difference here is that MAG NCAA competes with the elite code of points, I.e. the open ended scoring system that both MAG and WAG use in elite, whereas WAG NCAA uses a modified version of Level 10 scoring, which still uses the 10.0 system. This means that the MAG athletes are competing their elite routines year round, instead of the completely different focus of MAG NCAA, which (in theory) focuses more on perfect execution of a smaller selection of skills. Many of the elite WAG athletes who go into NCAA keep a ton of their elite level skills IN their routines, but they’re doing a lot less of them because the routine composition in that code doesn’t have a cumulative difficulty score in the same way elite does.

Feels like basically nobody has good execution on bars anymore. Compare to 2008, even 2012 era gymnastics and the difference is kind of astounding. Not sure why this is. Really basic stuff like toe point and squeezing legs.

I vastly prefer this coverage where we see athletes competing vs an athlete compete and then stand around waiting for a score

Maybe because it isn’t the prime time show.

Instead of Tim and Nastia doing Mens and Womens coverage together, it’s Tim and Terry for the Men and Sam and Terry for the Women. I’d prefer to have Sam and Tim together.
