You need to attend or enroll in artistic gymnastics judging course..the 0.2 deduction come from her “leg separation” during her take off from the spring board..the rest is perfect! Judges were right😊

my favorite part is how there's screaming and cheering when she's preparing and running, but when she blocks off the table there's just silence, and then the crowd literally ROARS.

Maroneys vault deserves to be in a museum of some sort. It’s a true masterpiece of her dedication and talent that we likely won’t see again in some time. Yes, I think there are a lot of other great all-around gymnasts that vault well. But to me she’s one of the best vaulters that has ever competed on the US Olympic team.

I think this is also a classic case of don't count your chicks before they hatch. All it takes is a fall on the beam and a fall on the bars for Biles to lose her presumptive title.

I think this is the single greatest vault of all time. I watch it now and then to remember that perfection is possible with talent and hard work.

"It can be so frustrating to watch gymnastics sometimes because it is so subjective and it involves so many opinions, but just sit back and watch, and when you see greatness...you will know it."

People who say that Simone Biles is the best vaulter really need to watch this, Vaulting will always be Mckayla's event.

I know that "her toes are a little crossed" and maybe "she was a little unbalanced on the landing" but honestly in my opinion that shouldn't matter at that point. No female gymnast has EVER done that vault so well. And my thing is, watching Simone at trials recently, how did she only get ONE TENTH off (for that hop, which says the rest of her vault was perfect), when this vault is clearly better than Simone's and receives almost THREE? That's what's ridiculous to me. McKayla *might* have deserved a tenth, but most certainly not .267- no way. And p.s. I absolutely adore Simone and she's a beyond magnificent gymnast, best there's ever been, but I still think McKayla was a better vaulter, don't kill me for it.

You can't compare the scores given at Worlds and US trials. Had Simone performed the same vault at Worlds, her score would not have been that high. In US completions they always give inflated scores. Secondly, McKayla's vault was undoubtedly amazing, but there were flaws, and hence the deductions. As she mounts the horse her legs are separated, her legs are slightly bent throughout her vault in the air, she crosses her feet a bit, AND she actually did not stick her landing! You could see how she was leaning forward and couldn't hold the position and had to take a step forward. So the deductions she received are fair enough.

The fact that now i know 9years later that Mckayla did THIS vault with a BROKEN FOOT!!! I can't even put into words the epitome of gymnastics that she showed the world. It's mindblowing!!!!!

Is it just me or does the floor music playing in the background during the slow motion replay add to the bad ass-ness of this vault?

I've probably watched this vault two hundred or so times and I get chills every one! She gets so much height that she has so much time in the air, it's like she twists in slow motion! Truly an iconic piece of gymnastics right here.

Those judges made a big mistake. That should have been a perfect vault. Her legs were straight and her feet were pointed the whole time; she got more than enough height for the vault; and she landed perfectly. That should have been a perfect vault.

Mandy Denise She immediately stepped out of her landing even in real time. It's obvious her body was tilting forward so if she were to hold it a second longer she would've lost her balance. The point of a stick is to hold it before stepping out to show that you have indeed found balance and that you can hold it indefinitely.

This was a perfect vault....only in slow motion you might be able to spot errors, and you still can't pick it out. Very difficult vault even for a guy to do, and McKayla did it better than any guy, very impressive for sure

Feet apart during round-off, toes crossed mid-flight, didn't quite land on the centre line and didn't quite hold the landing. No disrespect intended to Miss Maroney - this is a very, very, good vault - it was the highest scoring women's vault of the 2012 Olympics and deservedly so - but it wasn't perfect, and so didn't get a perfect score.

+Lindsey Ruiz I miss the 10 scoring system, but hate how they were giving 10s out left and right, even with hops on the landing or "cowboyed" legs in a flip. I think they started giving out all of these 10s with Nadia in 1976 and it continued until about the 1992 Olympics, then they finally started to make it a bit harder to earn a 10. The 1988 and 1992 Olympics were just insane. Like if you got less than a 9.9 that was it, you were out of the running. Kind of like how college gymnastics still is now.
