World record 1055 Circles in series
Vedant Sawant from Australia.
I once videotaped Jackson Payne doing 200 circles on Mushroom. Astonishing. Over 5 minutes long.
Click PLAY or watch Vedant on YouTube. Over 20 minutes. … π … This can’t be good for the wrists. I advocate doing no more than 40 circles in series.
scores too high in NCAA?
Definitely.
The attempt to lower Beam scores this season by adjusting the dismount rule didn’t work. Scores are up.
Personally, I don’t take scores all that seriously. They are mainly for marketing. And the most deserving teams end up qualifying in the top 36 anyway. Hopefully having 4 judges / panel in the playoffs will result in more discriminating rankings.
It seems to me that quality is WAY UP in College women’s Gymnastics 2023. Consistency too. The sport is evolving and improving.
Too many 10s in 2023? … I’m not sure they are being handed out any more egregiously than in the past.
Greg Marsden plotted the number of 10s.
GymCastic is talking about this issue. Spencer feels there are only about 6 routines in 2023 where could he go-along-with a 10 score.

Wow.

Mark Williams climbs Rings tower
In Canada, the first coach up the Ring tower to fix any problem was Dave Arnold. I’ve seen him do it 5-6 times.
BUT Mark Williams I’d score higher for style. Virtuosity. π
