2024 Europeans for Rocio and why I HATE US Beam judges. Gabby’s coach judging American Classic. How is that allowed?

Is it a conflict of interest to have Gabby’s ex-coach judging her at the American Classic?. Gabby called Kittia up and asked for her advice on bar construction a few months ago. And now she’s judging her routine at this most recent meet. Of course, no one cares.

Watch this routine by Zhou Yaqin from Chinese Nationals. Her execution score was 8.226 (Start value 7.2) Then I want you to watch Jade Carey and Gabby Douglas on beam from the most recent US Classic. And you wonder why as a fan I get so frustrated with this sport. I know the more you compete the more deductions but for Jade to get 8.050 in execution and Gabby 7.550 with nearly falling twice, it’s just like COME ON. Someone sent me this list of the judges.

By the way, the beam judges were Aimee Boorman, Shari Mann, Maria DeCristoforo, and Sylvia Topolova. Floor judges were Pat Panichas, Kittia Carpenter, Liz Crandell, and Pam Evans. On bars, the judges were Silvia Brestyan, Yazaira Cabrera-Davilla, Chelsea Davis, and Amy Young, and on Vault the judges were Anna Li, Loana Cruz, Ashley Johnson, and Amanda Stroud. Bolded names are ex-gymnastsI know, and Ex coaches we all know, including Gabby’s ex-coach (Kittia)

ALL I want when watching this sport are judges who do their jobs and it’s clear the beam judges didn’t. Neither did the Bars (two falls) or Floor. I am fine with her vault score. At Classica and Olympic trials I will be taking pictures of the judges.
