One of the big complaints in 2014 is the lack of artistry in Artistic Gymnastics. Beautiful and compelling routines are not often winning.
Personally, I’ve given up on evaluating and rewarding “artistry“. I’d be happy simply to deduct execution errors (legs crossed on twisting, poor body position, etc.) as specified in the Codes.
Here’s one of the best executed routines in Nanning. Geo-blocked in many nations. Sorry about that. Leave a comment if you know of a video of this routine not posted by USAG.
Click PLAY or watch Dalton’s Team FX routine on YouTube.
15.900 = 6.7 + 9.200
That was the highest E-score on Floor. (Uchimura was 2nd highest.) But the gap between Jake and the rest is too small.
