Nina’s Floor was the routine of the day. Entertaining. Unique. … And definitely not tiring. Some of the least energy demanding choreography all time. 🙂

In a less-than-fun team competition for Australia, this was a BIG highlight. Top score from session 1.

That’s my opinion.
Therefore Artistry should not be part of ranking gymnasts in any Code of Points.
Science of Gymnastics Journal 2014:
Due to its nature and relatively poor definitions in the Code of points, judging of artistry may suffer from serious flaws in reliability and validity.
We have used the balance beam artistry evaluation forms given by 5 execution judges at World Championship in Tokyo 2011 to analyze reliability and validity. Data on 194 competitors was gathered.
Deductions were received by a highly variable number of competitors from separate judges in the same components of artistry. The variability of average total artistry deduction was relatively large …
We conclude that neither reliability nor validity of artistry judging was satisfactory in this analysis. …
THE JUDGING OF ARTISTRY COMPONENTS IN FEMALE GYMNASTICS: A CAUSE FOR CONCERN?
We can evaluate Execution and Difficulty in reliable ways. And come up with a score that would be consistent meet to meet, panel to panel.
Artistry could be rewarded by a separate (subjective) panel. Something like the Longines Elegance Award, but with a much better panel of evaluators.
Give this guy an award. 😊
