GREAT College routines from the last decade

Yes the “perfect 10” scoring system in College women’s Gymnastics is silly.

Vault is the apparatus where I can most legitimately respect judges throwing a 10.

WAG is close to MAG in tumbling difficulty, but competes much less difficulty on Vault.

Reality check — MAG has a horse 10cm higher which gives them a more time in the air.
