Ou Yushan (CHN) is a rising star in the Chinese artistic gymnastics program, and is definitely a contender for the Chinese Olympic Team at the Tokyo 2020/Tokyo 2021 Olympics. Despite a downgrade on her most important dance element, she scored an impressive 13.666 on floor exercise at the World Junior Championships in 2019. With a clean Gomez (E) and a few tiny upgrades, her fantastic execution could win her floor medals although she doesn't have huge difficulty. Despite this, it seems like she's planning some ambitious upgrades for the future, which could potentially land her on an Olympic podium in Tokyo if she can hit when it matters most.
I personally think that the judging was really strict at this competition - I had her at an 8.8 after my first run through - but I do try to match the results as found, which means being more or less strict depending on the competition. Enjoy this routine with both D-score (difficulty score) and E-score (execution score) being calculated.
Sorry about the FIG info box showing up at the end of the routine - this was the best video I could find. I found that the judges were quite strict at this competition; an 8.566 is really strict for such a clean performance. I’m obviously on video, so it’s easier for me to replay elements and see mistakes. I made this video way earlier (before Euros!), but I forgot to post it, and seeing as I'm not doing a ton of "fun" work thanks to AP month (thank you College Board!), I may not have many more videos for the next few weeks. I'm posting this one instead. I'll do my best though; I promise!
Notes:
- Downgrade on the Gomez (E) was almost a bit too strict in my opinion but reflects the score awarded by the judges. She was falling out of the last rotation and thus was not “rotating the turn” per the rules. I try to make these videos accurate to the real competition results when possible, so that deduction is reflected.
- Slow connection (0.1) on her Triple Twist (E) + Stag (A) was to reflect how she didn’t immediately “spring” up into the jump; rather, she seems to land and then jump after.
- Low landing (0.1) on her Double Tuck (D) was also strict - it could also be in the form of a height deduction, perhaps?
- The 0.1 excessive preparation/artistry deduction before her third pass was also quite strict, and I mainly did this to emulate the scoring “vibes” of the competition - do you think that it interrupted her flow enough to be considered a deduction?
- No deduction on her Double Turn with Front Attitude (D) - I felt the turn was strongly and precisely completed, maybe 0.1 on the end but not enough for me. Looking back, it may have been wiser to have 0.1 precision on this and no low landing deduction on the double tuck.
- The body shape deduction on her Switch Split 1/2 (C) was a result of her hips not being square on the leap - it was otherwise very clean, like the rest of her performance.
- The artistry deduction for lack of expression was also a bit strict. I mainly took it because judges at junior competitions are extremely strict about artistry, so I have a feeling that they also took it. She was quite expressive between her first and second passes, but otherwise it seemed a bit less so. If you watch her performance from the event final, she seems much more lively - I wouldn’t’ve deducted during the EF. This music is Laurie Hernandez-esque and definitely is difficult to sell! In honesty, to me, it seems like she would fare better with more “classical” music.
Actual score: 13.666 = 5.1 + 8.566 (avg. of multiple judges)
