"agreed, there’s definitely some bent elbows on the table and some crossed feet in flight but this isn’t normally deducted in ncaa so i’m not sure why they took it here"

"Other gymnasts have been getting 10’s with little hops & leg separation yet this doesn’t get a 10… the inconsistency is insane"
