I’m thrilled for Mykayla, a super talented gymnast who’s suffered a lot of criticism online for lack of artistry. And for doing her Cheng vault with 1-hand.
The quality of her gymnastics has improved a lot. She hit 4/4 in prelims at Worlds. And her push on the Cheng vault is not a major problem, perhaps not even a major deduction.

Vault 1 : 15.666, Difficulty : 6.400, Execution : 8.300. Vault 2 : 15.033, Difficulty : 5.800, Execution : 9.233)
Hands are square. She touches but does not push, wrapping into the twist quickly. In full speed it’s very difficult to see.
Good chance for a vault medal.
Compare with SOSNITSKAYA’s Cheng. (VIDEO)
