I’m getting a fair bit of (deserved) grief for posting this during the competition
… that’s certainly how I felt at the time. High in the Press gallery, there was nobody around me not shocked when the scores went up. We all thought Vika had done enough on Floor to win it.
But in a subjective sport, a win’s a win. And the scores on Floor don’t look “wrong”.
Jordyn is World Champion.
