Update …
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Kat Ding hits and sticks Bars. No obvious NCAA deductions, yet scores only 9.9125. … I feared that, as an early competitor, this score wouldn’t hold up.
It did.
A wonderful Bars champion.
… Marissa King won Vault with 9.8750. … Congrats. But it was not a strong final.
… I’ll post videos when they become available.

Gymnastike is saying that Marissa King won vault. Who’s right?
Marissa King won – the 9.9125 was just Sledge’s first vault score
Marissa King won vault. They didn’t update Sledge’s score with the second vault for a long time which led to the confusion.
THANKS. … Made the fix.
But actually nobody deserved to win the Vault final today IMHO.
There were some people who had great single vaults, Brittani Mcollugh, Erin Davis and a few others. It’s the second vault, the one they don’t compete during the year, that blew. A lot of timers thrown as the second vault. I think they should make the gymnasts do two vaults on Friday if they want to qualify for vault finals.
Amen. … Or just compete one vault.
“But actually nobody deserved to win the Vault final today IMHO.”
The only undeserving winner is somebody who cheats. Even if the rules are wrong, they still placed fairly by the rules being used and deserved their placements.
Quentin, were these the kind of Timers that the gymnasts actually fall/roll out of or do you just mean they did simple vaults?
shergymrag, they just did yurchenko layouts. Some had little issues with landing, but none actually fell.
I thought that some of the “tucked” fulls were worse.
Turns out Marissa very much deserved to win. Her vaults would compare well to past NCAA vault champions.
Erin Davis’ 1.5TY was actually better than her FTY today.
[...] The 2011 Men’s JO Nationals will be taking place in two weeks in Long Beach, CA. The rotation schedules have been published here. Region 5 definitely wins the award for the best regional venue. Their meet was held at Ohio State, the same weekend as the men’s NCAA Championships. How cool that must have been for all the boys being afforded the opportunity to watch some great gymnastics put on by the college guys! Ohio was quite the hotbed for gymnastics, with the men’s NCAA Championships and Region 5 men’s meet in Columbus, and the women’s Region 5 club meet in Cleveland. Weary world traveler Rick McCharles had the good fortune of watching the action at both venues. I normally don’t write about the women, but I nominate Georgia’s Kat Ding as having the coolest name in women’s gymnastics. Congrats to her for winning the NCAA title on bars. [...]
