Zamarripa – Cheng Vault

I’m still cheering for Vanessa Zamarripa to qualify to the USA World’s team.

It’s so refreshing to see a gymnast with fantastic execution.

… The popular UCLA gymnast stunned everyone in Day 1 by sticking a world class Cheng vault – a monstrous 6.5 value vault that only a handful of gymnasts have ever competed. If she hits it again tonight, she could become the most shocking member of the 2010 world team. …

Zam has proven that vault judging is bogus. Compare her Cheng to her Yerchenko full. how does the full have more deductions?

She missed the vault today, but the math still puts her on the team, actually. IOW, even with a 50% chance of a fall, her average score on vault justifies taking her as a specialist. Nothing else matters. Just the Cheng.

Zam is not trying for worlds anymore, she’s focusing on NCAA and upgrading her routines for elite. She’s physically a bit drained and needs to work out a way to get through both seasons healthy and fit, seems like the smart decision.
