Reminding me of Uma Thurman, I’m looking forward to seeing some of these moves referenced in NCAA routines 2023. 😀

turns on Floor are a mess in 2022
As Spencer pointed out in Liverpool, right now gymnasts are throwing themselves into spins hoping to get credit for as many as possible.
The penalty for lack of control (or “falling” out) is not big enough to detour attempts.
BEST would be for FIG WTC to cap the value of turns. We don’t need to see the sextuple. 😀

Ellie Black – 2013 Floor
Ellie has been one of the best in the world for a long, long, long time.
Worlds ’22 Apparatus Final 2
Beam
Japan is THE up-and-coming team in the world right now.
I felt Skye Blakely and and Ou Yushan had the best routines — but Beam is an apparatus where you have to hit under pressure. The medal winners did that.
Ellie Black had zero falls or major errors over 4 Beam routines in Liverpool. In fact she had no falls or major errors on any apparatus in Qualification, Team Final, AA Final or either Apparatus Final. Truly she’s been the most consistent of the top gymnasts in the world.
Floor
Crowd went wild.
In the craziest Final, Jessica Gadirova won the Floor title. As did her GBR teammate Giarnni Regini-Moran in Men’s Floor.
This will be the most discussed podium as nobody understands exactly what the judges want in terms of artistry.
USA appealed Jade’s Floor score — as many teams did for many athletes — but this time the score went DOWN 0.1.
That can happen.
As a result, Jade went into a tie with Rebeca. This made pretty much everyone in the arena happy. 😀
Vault
Fantastic vaults to get on to this podium. It was one of the best finals in years. Only 1 fall over 16 super difficult vaults.
You beat, Yulo … you are GOOD. Congratulations to 30-year old Artur Davtyan. Two fantastic vaults.
P Bars – Zou Jingyuan
The man. The legend. The greatest of all time on Parallel Bars.
Arguably the greatest routine of all time on any apparatus.
H Bar
Superb Final. No falls. No drama. Just great Gymnastics.
Brody hit the best routine I’ve ever seen him do.
Brody Malone – World Champion. I like the sound of that.

Fierce Ellie – Floor
I feel this is Ellie’s best choreography ever.
She’ll easily qualify to the AA Final. As usual. One of the most consistent of the top gymnasts.
