Holy smokes – giant leg split on entry for Brooks (michigan)
Yes I love Brooks and her dynamic vaulting, but a 9.900 on that would have been plenty generous – the entry plus the landing have obvious deductions.
I love Trinity but she had a wobble when she was getting up on the beam. I don’t understand how they didn’t see it.
Yes.
>wobble when she was getting up on the beam
At first I thought this meant her mount and I couldn’t see it, but then at about 0:53 into the video there was an obvious balance check just like you said.
Nice toe point and nice arms and hands during the check though, so maybe she “covered it” OK for the judges?
Some wild times on that North Carolina beam judging…
Uh ya. Sorry, nice routines, but not 10s.
Itโs sad that we had to go from โhere are the 9.9+sโ to โhere are the 9.975+sโ ๐
baumann was the only deserved one this week
Karr’s vault was very deserving, her teammate’s not so much
Hardcore disagree re Karr. Soft legs in the air and legs pretty wide on landing. 9.95 would be fine.
Heels brought together after landing with no lifting of the feet, not a deduction
