This is the main thing I hate about their routines. Sure they look fun but at the same time they make sure to bounce on every landing so they dont have the chance to miss a stick.


I just created a post askingg for explanations from this board's resident experts on gymnastics.

Right after the first week of the season, I spoke to our daughters gymnastics instructor (ex LSU gymnast) about this very issue and she said that college scoring is alot different that elite level scoring. Judges allow the bouncing into the next move bc they want fan enjoyment. She said college scoring compared to junior olympic scoring is worlds apart from how critical each subtle wrong move is deducted.
And when I asked why LSU hasnt used that to their advantage, she said that LSU doesn’t recruit girls that fit that type of routine.
