re: LSU gymnastics (not official thread)

Peeps already bitchin about our score! Lol

Yes to highest score and wonder if it beats Oklahoma's best this year? What a comeback from last week. WOW!

How legit is this score? Or was there a little hone cooking?

They performed well but def had some home cooking. It’s gonna get thrown out though with RQS dropping every teams highest score and we have to count so many road scores

These panel of judges def gonna get an ear full behind the scenes. You have a 10 and 9.85 split for Aleah’s floor. It just wasn’t not a good look

yeah we're not beating the home cooking score allegations

From what I’ve seen, it’s not just us. All the judging this year is out of control.

Score was high but the team still performed really well. Didn’t look tired like last week.

Yep I think that is the best take away from the meet.

If it’s not, it never will be

I don’t follow the sport

Her routine was an exhibition, the score didn’t count.

First things first - they did a great job last night regardless of any over scoring. Now they have to bring that same energy to an away meet, so let’s hope they do!

Second, now to the topic of over scoring -

Haleigh’s vault was over scored because she had a clear hop - 9.9 or 9.925 for that vault is probably more accurate. I didn’t see KJ or Aleah vault be because I was running late so can’t comment on scoring for KJ, other than to say they are always going to score the first routine lower than they might, which is a risk you run, esp with that full.

Kiya’s bars particularly was underscored - I am not quite sure what it is about her set that judges seem to find fault with. Otherwise, bars seemed relatively ok with judging.

Beam is where things got a bit out of control: Alexis was probably over scored with her balance check on the straddle quarter; Konnor has two balance checks, so she was probably over scored; and Aleah was for sure over scored as she had two much larger balance checks on her series and her full turn.

On floor - the only really egregious thing was Aleah’s score. So on her first pass into the stag leap the timing for the pass was off and so it was very odd looking from where I was sitting. Otherwise the routine was very good. I think the one judge across from her saw that, hence the 9.85, and the other judge who was on the same side as her but at the other end of the apparatus didn’t have as good of a view of it. I think that’s why there was that odd split. I honestly thought Kiya’s was better than Haleigh’s and better than her ten the other week, so I thought they might for it.

All in all, most of the very egregious over scoring was on beam, and while it was a very solid rotation, it had a few wobbles, so I think for sure at least 2 tenths over scored. - probs my 2.5. Which still would have given us an excellent score.

Also, Konnor is perfection - what a move to nearly get a 10 in the lead off floor spot.

I’ll end the same way I started - but if this team can get it other on the road, they are unstoppable.
