new NCAA Landing “Finishing Position”

An excellent improvement on College rules. This will definitely help separate the best of the best routines.

Hopefully we’ll see NO MORE College Sticks getting a 10.0 score.

LANDING is a skill. And should be evaluated as a SKILL.

Nikita Nagorny on the IOC decisions

Nikita has not said much publicly about the Paris Olympics, until now.

Rewriting Russian Gymnastics linked to an interview he gave lately to a domestic sports publication.

why are LIVE scoring systems so BAD?

For me SmartScoring has been the worst way to follow LIVE scores at a Gymnastics competition.

And it seems to fail. Regularly.

Some people like LiveMeet, which is what we use in Canada. Personally I find the interface unappealing and slow. It’s like a webpage from the 1990s.

Longines is pretty. But I’m often confused with the layout.

Rachael points out that the system used for the PanAm Championships is quite good. A very clear and intuitive interface than anyone can use instantly. And it includes a lot of data.
