Aleah rested after Worlds, but she fully regained her previous college routines (except she changed her vault from Omelinchek to Yurchenko 1.5)


I’m gonna miss her OMELIANCHIK. I love how unique it was and form wise, she performed it incredibly well. 1.5’s can be hit or miss on the form and sticking end, especially when it comes to how she’s done it at the elite level. Could cost us a tenth or more in the post season when there’s already better 1.5s/10.0 vaults on our roster with NCAA competition experience.

Looks like Anaya Drayton retired from the sport. I saw people in multiple places guessing she’d go to LSU. She visited Minnesota also. Strange, I hope she’s not injured.

I get this - it is a beautiful vault, but, in general, I think the 1.5 is easier to land and yurchenko style vaults are judged much more leniently I find than other vault families. I think this is probably a good move scoring wise for us.

I will say it again - there is no reason on God’s earth that we shouldn’t have 6 10.0 vaults this year - I don’t care how good the the yurchenko fulls are.
