Ellie Black – Beam

6.20 difficulty | 14.700 final score

Impressive considering Ellie had not put in all the routines she’d wanted in advance of Nationals due to a minor ankle injury.

Katarzyna Jurkowska – Gainer 2/1

Though Beam Gainer dismounts are devalued next Code, I believe we’ll see more in future.

Personally I like them. As as coach I like that you don’t have to spend much time warming them up at the meet.

And I love this new variation. 🙂

New Quad, New Rules

Justine Kelly on FloGymnastics put together a series of posts on changes in the 2017-2020 Code of Points:

• 2017-2020 Code of Points – Part 1

• 2017-2020 Code of Points – Vault & Bars

•  2017-2020 Code – Beam & Floor

Beam should have more variety next cycle as many skills have been raised in difficulty.

Don’t count on all those changes surviving, however. A new President is coming in. I’ll be surprised if this is the final draft.
