Utah 196.900
MyKayla Skinner won every event and the all-around in her first college road meet and the No. 5 Utah gymnasts coasted past BYU 196.900-194.175. Skinner, who has nine wins in her first two meets, got plenty of help from her teammates in a win where the Utes got stronger with each ensuing event.

To optimize the spring from the Board feet should be around shoulder width apart. Brenna could be faster bringing her feet together in preflight, however.

2020 Code of Points – Beam
Gigi spent a week reviewing changes to the 2020 Code of Points on Beam. She wrote those up illustrating many with GIFs.
Must read. It’s the best overview 2020 Beam I’ve seen yet.
Understanding The 2017-2020 CoP In A Very Simple And Detailed Way: Balance Beam
Don’t count on everything in that post being exactly correct. There are so many changes that I anticipate future clarifications for years to come.
Personally I’m happy that FIG gymnasts no longer feel pressured to do a D dismount as dismount is no longer a 0.5 Special Requirement. Sticking a C dismount will be the best strategy for many around the world.
