Not many of the finalists hit their routines as well as they had done to qualify. When looking at scores, know that College judging is more lenient than FIG international.

More than anything I was impressed with these guys still getting psyched up for the Final. It’s been a long, tough season. Many are hurting. Kanji Oyama took the Bronze on Vault, but wasn’t able to walk down off the podium. For example.

See you in 2016.
