Skinner’s practice with Tom Forester watching. Dutch Nationals. College Gym, Regional Final. Miller opinion piece
Shannon Miller’s opinion piece on what USAG needs to do.
Follow the twitter for a few more videos. You know how I hate Floor routines that start with double tucks. This is why I am not linking Floor routines from this twitter but Lieke’s. I’m sorry but these are OLYMPIC wanna be’s or past Olympians. Not being able to do more than a double tuck wouldn’t have cut it in 1980.
Canada’s technical results You might need to click on the senior link to the left to see results. Ellie won with a 55.05 (and a really low beam score) Shallon Olsen running back and forth between Canada and the US for college gym finished forth winning vault. (14.250 / 14.450) but tanked floor and bars. Ava Stewert was second with a 53.400 and Rose Woo, 3rd, with a 52.300.
So I am bored and watching Nationals for college gym and shaking my head at the scoring. Michigan is so unpolished on floor. I didn’t see them all but what I did see there is not a dancer or performer. Taking big steps on ever pass and still getting 9.900’s. The same with their landings on bars. Maybe one controlled landing in the bunch. Yet, getting record scoring for their program. Florida of course being Florida scored. Bama getting, Bama scoring IN Bama. Ashley Miles is doing the commentating. She is doing a very good job. Bridget and Sam are doing the others and Sam just loves to talk about herself… UCLA celebrating each routine like they actually made Nationals. They didn’t. Frazier got a 9.825 on beam and actually acted like a fool after she landed. UCLA will forever be the most annoying team that has ever existed. Nia Dennis had a huge bobble on beam and got a 9.725. If you are here you can watch at ESPN 3 Michigan does have a calmness about them and not a single girl on that team acted as bad as Frazier and her 9.825 on beam. It’s just arrogant… I think I liked Ashley commentating. She isn’t sugar coding mistakes by Alabama… Oklahoma nailing those landing on beam. Emily Gaskins just nailed floor for Bama. Beacutiful dance. Stuck Landings. Double layout was near perfect. 9.925.. Ragan Smith (9.950) had one slight arm movement on the beam but the rest was great… Kerri Thomas on Oklahoma just got hurt after a great beam routine. Missed her hand on beam and hurt her ankle. Yikes… Blanco had a nice floor but it wasn’t better than Gaskins but she will be scored better. (Yep, 9.950. It was a great routine but Gaskins was better)… Pertfect beam for Webb. That was great. Only deduction they could give is nailing her dismount and her feet moving together.. That was clutch after Thomas got hurt… (9.975) I think that should have been a ten on the way judging had been going…. What about Arkansas am I supposed to be impressed with about them again? They have been getting the Gold medalist coach scoring all season. Glad it isnt happening now… Even Ashley says Webb’s beam should have been a 10…. It will be pretty funny if Troutman pulls a Nicholes and ends up winning the AA at Nationals after being hurt all year.lol… Nailed Yuchenko for Gaskins(9.850).. Nicelandings for Draper on the floor but her first pass had a small step forward… 9.800 for Adams with a step… Olsen stuck her DTY (9.900). A bit messy but nicely done..Ucla would have gotten a ten… More great landings for Oklahoma… Lots of steps on landings for Bama but all seem to be 10 vaults… Ashley Miles is funny. She said she as asked if she can do gymnastics anymore and she tells people “Yes I can but why would I want too” lol….. The Arkansas gymnasts can’t get away from Chris Waller fast enough after routines.lol… Oklahoma is so subdued after they nail a routine. That;s called class, UCLA… Alabama got Bama scoring the first rotations. Not so much in the second half… NCAA needs to hire Ashley Miles and this guy commentating with her for NCAA. They are so positive and nice but can point out the mistakes and not sound fae like Kathy and Bart…. Troutman is last on Floor. Nice routine by Webb (9.925).. Same score for Troutman….. Bummer I missed LSU on vault.( They showed some. Good landings but messy form on everyone. Bryant’s Vault was a 10. She sold that landing. Just came down and nailed it even if it was messy ) I don’t think I can sit through idiot Kathy Johnson. Bart is okay but Kathy is such a fraud. She is pro the favorites and nit icky to everyone else… Bart Connor spent ten minutes praising himself and ESPN. Okay… Kathy is not aging well. She has to be pushing 60… Old lady… lol…. Kathy is so pro LSU. Kiya Johnson fell and she makes excuses for her and talks about how great she is (Come back Ashley Miles)….. Need proof she is biased she isn’t even mentioning UTAH on floor. It’s all vault and LSU on bars.. Utah was just ignored through their entire Floor rotation even though they seemed to be hitting every landing so Bart could talk about Kentucky and Kathy make excuses for the form issues from UCLA on bars (and steps)….. I read a few places people complaining about UTAH being underscored. I think I know why. Their Floor routines were boring. They were clean but I was nodding off watching them. They need some spitfire after she makes her Olympic team (SKinner)…. I heard, booo’s. Soloski must have gotten a 9.975.lol…. Nope, it was a 9.950 so I would have booed too…. LSU is behind Kentucky by .25… Last rotation. LSU has beam (eek)…. Vault for UTAH… Utah having issues on vault. 2 hit routines for LSU. Arizona state is hitting bars and Kentucky hitting Floor… Messy form for whomever that was on bars… Nailed landing for UTAH.. FINALLY… Another nice vault on UTAH but not as good as the girl before.I didn’t even notice what the vault was.. LSU hit another beam after Schnnikova had some bobbles… Johnson off beam. With the other low score they might be out…. Just that miss in the middle of the routine says Kathy Johnson. Oh you mean the fall?? She’s such a pro LSU stan I think she might cry…. LSU needs a 9,800 on beam. Kathy and Bart ignored the fact she stalled in her press handstand. It looked like she took a step on her landing but Kathy called it stuck… It will probably get more than a 9.800 but there were mistakes that should be deducted… That was a 9.925 for Campbell. Way too high…. Last regional scores. The fact that LSU even came close to UTAH on that last event was pretty wild…
Florida won their regional but the full stats aren’t working…
Florida 197.700Minnesota 197.425 Denver 197.275 NC State 196.150
