Dude. If you stick the mount cold, don’t do the silly looking knee bend. That’s to help cover up an over-rotation.
FIG simply has to FIX the Floor rules.

Gymternet:
Just remember that last year, Foberg didn’t qualify. We thought Laurie Hernandez’s jump from the bottom of the pile to the silver medal between 2012 and 2013 was huge, but Foberg has managed to go from missing nationals completely to winning the title. It’s completely unheard of and a testament to how mentally strong and naturally gifted she is, having upped her difficulty by several points between last year and today. …

USA Men’s day 1 commentary
The Liukin:
Unlike the senior women’s competition, the senior men’s field was completely packed with 34 total competitors including 28 all-arounders. Chris Brooks was the only pre-meet scratch who is out with a hand injury. Nonetheless, tonight proved to be an interesting night for many gymnasts with plenty of surprises. …
At stake besides national titles are also team spots for the upcoming Pan American Championships and World Championships.
Kevin Mazeika & Co. have some tough work ahead because they actually have too many good choices. They will have to decide what strengths to emphasize for the team, so I can imagine a number of different team scenarios for both competitions. …
