Better than Simone’s attempt, I’d say. I’d love to see video of Maroney’s.

Brittany Rogers 10.0 Vault

I recall her doing pretty much exactly the same Vault at NCAA Championships one year … and getting 9.85. 😦 The WRONGEST score I saw at the meet.
I felt Brittany’s DTY was as good as any at Worlds 2015.

Gabby’s incorrect Bars D-score
At American Cup Gabby was awarded 6.5 D-score in the official results.
On Papa Liukin I saw a comment from A Houstonian GymNerd:
While this would have been correct with her intended routine, she inserted a stalder between her Endo ½ and the Shap ½, thus taking away 0.1 CV.
In-bar full (E)-piked tkatchev (E)-Pak(D) 0.3CV
In-bar ½ (D)-Endo ½ (D)-Stalder ©-Chow ½ (E) 0.1 CV
In-bar (D)
DLO (D)
Eight elements: DDDDDEEE = 3.5
CV = 0.4
EGR = 2.5D-score = 6.4

… who can forget Gabby receiving credit for an Amanar when she didn’t even do one?

Judges at the 2012 Pacific Rim called that Vault an Amanar. The worst judging I can recall in many, many years. There was no correction. No reprimand to the judges. 😦
