Susan Jackson strikes me as a totally focused, aggressive power gymnast. Fearless. She had a fantastic season, finishing first in the all-around at Championships.
Her team, LSU, was plagued with problems this year. Yet for the first 3 rotations in the team qualifier, they were rolling towards making the Super 6 Final, easily, I thought.
Unfortunately Beam was their undoing. That apparatus decided who made the team final.
Click PLAY to see a fascinating interview. Susan’s actually afraid of Vault … yet might compete Yurchenko 2/1 twist in the apparatus final tonight for the first time in her celebrated College career. She doesn’t need it to win as she’s got another “second” vault.
