My first thought was that maybe, possibly, sometime in the distant future we MIGHT have computers judging artistry.

Simone’s SET on Moors
Incredible. She could probably do triple twisting double layout.
Click PLAY or watch the first pass on YouTube.
Look how much later Simone initiates the twist than others. It’s almost lay-in, double full out. She gets that technique from her Biles.

Mary Lou Retton competed Tsuk 1/1, not Kas
#respect
Tsuk 1/1 is much more difficult than the Kasamatsu used by Ellie Black, Oksana and … almost everyone.
Mary Lou did half-on, full-off. (1.5 twists total)
Kasamatsu is quarter-on, three quarter-off (1.0 twists total)
Watch it on YouTube. (Right hand on the horse first, left twist on the salto.)
In addition, she trained Tsuk double full. Seriously.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Almost nobody does the more difficult version of Tsuk twisting. René Cournoyer from Canada is one.
