Gymtruthteller called these the first two the best routines done by any gymnasts this year. Certainly the first, Sui Lu, is SOLID. One step on landing.

Sui Lu
Deng Linlin 1:42
Mai Yamagishi 3:41
Moon Eunmee 5:29
Luiza Galiulina 7:14
It doesn’t matter how good your beam routine is in 2010. The judges still won’t score you higher than 9.0.
1 305 SUI Lu 6.500 8.925 15.425
2 301 DENG Linlin 6.600 8.600 15.200
Could somebody list me the 1.0 in deductions for Sui Lu?

Here at World Spinner we are debating the same thing……
I would take .3 for lack of creative choreography and possibly .1 for lack of varation in rhythm. She waves her arms a lot, but that’s all. Other than the Korbut, her level never changes, and there’s a lot of just stepping into position to get to the next trick.
.1 for concentration pause before dismount.
There were 1 or 2 others that a judge without a clock might have taken.
.1 for the step on landing
.1 for more than one 1/2 turn on both feet
That’s .6-.7 I can easily defend.
The camera angle makes evaluation of most of the leaps and jumps difficult, so I won’t really go there except the following: the switch leap might have a deduction for legs not being parallel to floor (.1) and wolf jump for extended leg at horizontal or below (.1 or .3).
Low chest landing back tuck (.1? – not sure of what this is now).
It may just be the resolution, but legs look very slightly bent on dismount – .1.
A few minute balance checks at .1 each . . . you’re at 9.0.
I wish we still had .05 deductions.
I wish I could take off a point for being bored. Also, one point for every time she has to tap her toe and then look backwards at the end of the beam. I don’t let my 6 and 7 year old gymnasts do this.
I really dislike how all the chinese work beam, it bothers me to no end that on nearly every landing skill their chest is at an angle (v-ed to their hips) with thier head down a slight pause in the position then the next movement…in Rott it was soo much worse
I think they really start from a 9.0 these days, ha.
Ha. I’ve had that thought too. Nabieva does it a lot in training.
Get over it. Choreographydoesn’t exist anymore. That is the way it is. You embrace it or stop watching it.
Why do I need to embrace it? Our sport is artistic gymnastics. I want to see choreography!
I’ll second that. Just because choreo goes unrewarded in the current code and has been fading away from beam routines, that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop watching or stop demanding that they find some way to require and reward it in future. The sport is constantly changing – why can’t we insist that it change for the better?
