Floor All Medal Winning Performance ✨ 2022 Paris World Cup Event Finals

[@MsMockingbird06]

Jordan killed it! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@jlp4111]

Awesome that Jordan and Shilese we’re #1 and #2 in Paris on floor! Well done Team USA!

[@Plaspos]

Gadirova first dance element is insanely good. When she gets through this growth spurt she’s going to be quite the challenge on this event.

[@asherraymond4430]

A little surprised that Shi didn't submit her 1 1/2 twisting double tuck here. It's an FIG event, so it would've made the skill named after her.

[@ieuanwainwright98]

Yes surprised me aswell.

[@cocoroni1031]

All of them does three passes which is great to see.

[@captainbryce1]

Is that part of the rules for World Cup events? What do you think is inspiring this new trend?

[@cocoroni1031]

@@captainbryce1 It isn't the rule, but the additional artistry requirements under the COP makes it difficult for many gymnasts to do 4 passes while keeping energy for expressive dance. Also, any bad landings can tank the E score immediately. Less passes, less chance for heavy deductions.

[@PinoyMN]

the past dozen years have spoiled us with numerous athletes capable of routines packed with three or four challenging passes. we must remind ourselves of the new scoring code's preference for "cleaner," simpler routines. perhaps simone biles pushed the judges beyond their comfort zones. maybe it will be a long time until we witness performances again like hers, or the likes of mai murakami, aly raisman, daiane dos santos, alicia sacramone, ksenia afanasyeva, or shawn johnson.

[@cocoroni1031]

Not just cleaner, but more artistic, more emphasis on rhythm and less pause. Still challenging passes are rewarded well even in this code.

totally!

Fantastic ❤

[@cleitonpereiraalves8579]

Uma pena a Flávia ter a queda. Iria ganhar a prata e poderia até brigar pelo ouro. 😭🇧🇷❤️

[@susantescione8007]

Where all of these gymnasts are leaving points on the table are in separated legs and flexed feet. Shilese Jones is less egregious at it than the others, but this but if they want more points, that's how to get them.

[@joyfuljaj]

i noticed it more on Shilese.

[@cocoroni1031]

It isn't a big problem because you can't really deduct much on tumbling unless you have a catastrophic landing (the cap is 0.8 deduction, different categories for small step / large step / catastrophic landing). More fixable deductions occur on dance elements. Shilese got the wolf turn and a jump downgraded.

[@susantescione8007]

@@joyfuljaj You see a lot of under 14 scores for American gymnasts in recent events. You get 6-7 "leg separation" scores and 6-7 "flexed feet" at .2 per instance and you get 1 to 1.5 points deducted from the total score. That it is minor is true, depending upon how bad it is. Do it enough during a routine and you lose a point to a point and a half. That's more than enough to score off the podium. It isn't one or two instances. It's consistent throughout the routine and that's what adds up.

[@cocoroni1031]

@@susantescione8007 Flexed feet deduction for acro elements isn't commonly applied like before if you know the trend this quad. American gymnasts don't have enough dance difficulty this quad, or don't have enough artistry to achieve 14 consistently.

[@julias2977]

The Gadirova sisters are the biggest thing to come onto the Gymnastics stage since Biles. All of these gymnasts are phenomenal…..stunning. Should be interesting to see how they progress….if that’s possible….seriously….gymnastics couldn’t get anymore difficult!😮

[@askan300]

Compare Gadirovas with Biles. OMG how ridiculous.😆😆😆😆

[@GonzaloGarcia-pr1pt]

@@askan300 they are currently the highest scores on floor, yes they are nowhere near Simone but they are truly winning on floor due to their artistry… something that the US completely lacks (Except Jordan at some level)

[@mammac4333]

Didn’t Jade do floor?

[@isaacdanielshorts9019]

Yes she didn’t

[@dtimmymoua]

no I think she only did 3 events

[@EmilyNGymFan]

Jade only did vault and beam

[@liquidglow21]

Ugh i hate ending double tucks.

[@chloebrower2598]

I know that’s what most people do and it can get old, but I can imagine that by the end of a floor routine, a double tuck is the only thing they can perform really well 😅

[@lenr112]

I really hate the Wolf spin in Shilese's floor, it ruins what could be a good floor exercise .She could just add back in the double arabian and dismount with a double tuck it would be so much better.

[@cocoroni1031]

She's clearly exhausted in the end. With four passes, you can guarantee a meltdown in one of these passes.

[@andreablamire5509]

Am I alone in missing the grace and elegance of Comenici et Al? It’s all power and jerky movements these days.

[@fredrika27]

Very true, but the dance has improved since last quad!

[@comeawaywithme]

we get it, you're a thousand years old and can't wrap your head around gymnastics welcoming different body types and choreo styles. we're here for you and want to help

[@fredrika27]

@@comeawaywithme I'm 57 and remember the golden age of Olga Korbut, Nadia and Nelli Kim. There's NOTHING wrong with being old! What is wrong is the lack of respect Generations Y, Z and Alpha have toward their elders! Yes, times have changed over the last 120 years of gymnastics. However, different standards from other eras doen't mean everything was better or worse. It's gymnastics' HISTORY and DEVELOPMENT which has made it a unique sport. Respect that because if it weren't for the past we wouldn't have the future! This especially goes for training methods which were developed between 1964 amd 1996 that strongly influenced the acceptance and popularity of gymnastics!

[@andreablamire5509]

@@comeawaywithme oh how wrong you are! I just prefer a more elegant gymnast, that’s all. No need to insult me.

[@faith2xxx]

Times have changed, training methods have changed, and the public has changed. Not taking anything away from past gymnasts, but what they did back then won't get them the points because judging has changed.

Konnor already made her spot for the world’s team. They sent these 3 to test (and/or confirm their spots on the team).
