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.

Mya Lauzon – Beam

Good form.

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. 😀

USA wins DTB Pokal Team Challenge

Due to injuries to Team USA, only 4 gymnasts ended up competing, so all scores counted. And they still won by a large margin. #respect

Asher Hong – Ri Se Gwang

Awesome. But there’s some risk of that being called Dragulescu with staggered hands.
