I don’t know how Georgia got a 198+ at regionals.

That regional was a joke. The 4th place team was above 197.500

Yep. I remember that.
Interested to see who gets #2 in this regional.

It’s Denver. Nice.
OU stays below 198.
I feel great about tomorrow.

If the scores hold,
Kennedi Edney is the National Champion on Vault (ties with 3 others)
Sarah Finnegan is the National Champion on Bars (solo)!
2nd time for both!

I will never trust the judges in NCAA gym.
If LSU wants to win, they have to be pretty much perfect.

Well to be clear,
That is the case with or without the judges. If every team is perfect tomorrow, LSU will not win. We need OU and UCLA to stumble somewhere and we need to hit every routine starting with Finnegan’s vault tomorrow.
I have seen Floor scores fly stupidly the last two years during the last rotation of the Super Six-so if we are close (.1-.2) going into Floor tomorrow, we have a strong shot.

So how does Nichols win the AA when they mentioned multiple times she only competed in the AA like twice all season?

A couple of thoughts and a question:
1. Sarah Finnegan is one of the greatest athletes to ever wear the purple and gold. I wish more understood just how elite an athlete she has always been. At one point, she was considered one of the greatest young gymnast in the country (and the world) prior to her injury.
2. I hope the thread tomorrow is stickied. After all, these LSU tigers are competing for a national championship.
3. Question in reference to floor routines: I hope those who have an understanding of fundamentals can answer this question. I have noticed a few gymnasts (most notably Katelyn Ohashi) end tumbling runs on the floor with a bounce into another "move." (Sorry, don't quite know the right word). Whereas Sarah (and most gymnasts) end each run with a "landing," Katelyn seems to just bounce into a move (like the bounce-split). Is that an easier way to end runs as she doesn't have to stick the landing of each tumble? Almost seems like that approach "hides" the landing. Sorry for all the quotations.

What is our rotation tomorrow? Please tell me we aren't starting on beam.

Starting on Vault
Posted on 4/19/19 at 9:37 pm to seanerin
seanerin...I agree about the landings on floor. The difficulty in actually sticking landings on tumbling passes is so much higher than when they bounce out of a pass into a split or some other move (your term "hides the landing" was spot on). It seems crazy that they are judged equally. I love our floor routines, but would it make more sense for us to do the same thing?

I am not a gymnastics expert but I generally follow the results and one of the things I've discerned over the years is that gymnastics is not a sport where upsets are commonplace. The teams that are supposed to win, generally win.
UCLA is supposed to win in 2019 and I wouldn't be shocked if the judges find a way for that to happen.
That said, Geaux Tigers!!

TF112, I agree. I love the sport and have followed it on the international stage and the ncaa stage for years (mostly because I have taught students who were deeply involved). I can only think of the difference (ending a tumbling run with a "landing" vs ending with a bounce into something else) in terms of physics. Physics tells me that ending a run by bouncing into something else reduces the "final impact" of each run, whereas ending a tumbling run with a dead stop landing would be far more difficult. But then again, my understanding of physics and gymnastics is limited.
It's remarkable that they are scored equally, though. Kate has a QS of 10 (per someone's post earlier) and she does not end tumbling runs by "sticking landings." BTW, I am a fan of Kate's gymnastics and think she is a remarkable person and athlete. Yet, she is nowhere near as fundamentally sound as Sarah. :)
Also, I wish I had better control of the jargon so I wouldn't have to rely on "" so often. :)
Thanks for the response.

I just saw Maggie did two passes on floor tonight. That is unacceptable in my opinion for this stage. The code needs to change. And how embarrassing that UCLA code whores their floor routines jumping and leaping all over the place out of their passes. They never look in control, but yet have scored outrageous scores all season. This has to change.
I’m still not over Ohashi scoring a 9.925 today after coming in short on her first pass. Sarah came in short on her first pass as well, and scored a 9.875. That’s the difference of a championship tomorrow night.

I'm laughing because everything in this post is true
The reason UCLA does all these stag jumps and leaps out these passes is one, it hides landings, and two it gives them even more bonus in their routines. LSU should take note and maybe try to incorporate a few of those type of routines next year.
Don't even get me started on Nichols, I could go on and on over her scoring and the actual difficulty/execution of her routines.
