BAD judging Nebraska v Michigan !

Kensley on the Neutral Deductions podcast, details the absurdly bad judging errors made at the Nebraska vs Michigan competition last weekend.

In one case, a Floor routine was awarded 0.9 too high on the D score.

I was a FIG judge for decades — and can’t imagine how ANY judge could be that far off on Floor.

Kenseley feels Michigan probably would have won the competition, anyway, with competent judging.

Obituary – Coach Ed Vincent

Read and comment here.

A service will be held for Coach Ed Vincent on Friday April 25, in Calgary, Alberta.

He inspired me and everyone else at Altadore Gym Club over 50 years with the club. 2024 Olympic Floor champion Kyle Shewfelt is just one of those athletes inspired by Ed’s enthusiasm for the sport.

The annual Altadore Invitational competition is named for Ed Vincent in his memory.

Read his obituary.

No Jaeger 1/1 this time. But I’m impressed that the coach is not standing directly under the Bars as Chinese coaches typically do. For me that means she’s confident without him.
