13 – 18 May 2025.
A controversial decision considering what’s happening in 2023.
Counting only the major FIG meets.
Simone, Rebeca, Shilese, Jessica, Melanie, Flavia, Ellie, Manila, QUI Quiyuan, Kayla …
After Rebeca scored 9.733 execution on what many would consider a perfect Cheng, there has been discussion online. 😀
ALL agree that FIG judges in 2023 “box” the execution scores too much. The difference between best and worst is not accurately reflected by differences in E score.
Judges do this in order to stay in range, and not get in trouble from the FIG WTC.
Personally, I’d like to see the rare 10.0 execution score. (Certainly there are too many in WAG NCAA, some obviously not even close to being deserved.)
IF the performance is significantly superior to anyone else in the world — and there are no obvious deductions — it should get a 10 execution score.
I’ve seen several P Bar routines from Zou Jingyuan where I would have NO DEDUCTIONS recorded on my judging sheet. For example.

The happiest team in Antwerp was France, finishing 3rd.
It reminded me of Canada finishing 3rd in 2022 Liverpool.
Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos was a rock.
