@@JanellabelleOlga’s routine was exciting and had the wow factor to it. However she didn’t really shoot to handstands and she’s basically facing the same direction until she did the half to beat towards the end of the routine.

The Biles should be a I/J rated skill, and full in piked should be and H. It's stupid that both tuck and pike is worth the same

[@Daughternature37]

Tuck and pike are worth the same because it depends on the gymnast. Some gymnasts find pike body positions to actually be easier than tuck, while some gymnasts find tuck easier than pike.

[@healthandwealthdiva]

Right ‘cause if a double tuck is a D and a double pike is an E a double pike 1/1 should be higher than a double tuck 1/1 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@leilanigirl777]

[@Marie_azul]

7:54 my thing with the Biles and them giving it that low rating…they claim to “worry about the safety of other athletes” but the thing is that they TRAIN these things. They do these difficult dismounts into foam pits and pads. If they can’t perform the element they shouldn’t perform it. And if they decide to take that risk that is the decision of the athlete and their coach. But they shouldn’t penalize the ONE ATHLETE that CAN do it. And she should be absolutely rewarded for being able to push the limits of the sport. I think they just didn’t want to give her the ability to always win. Which is also jacked up. Because she’s still gonna win lol…

[@creating1_c1999]

I think you're right when you say they are trying to control her wins.

[@DJcyberslash]

Precisely why they want to focus on "artistry" wink wink.

[@ae2948]

I'm undecided. I remember seeing wayyyy too many gymnasts trying doubles ( 2 1/2, really ) off vault - front and back......and doing them horribly and unsafely. Gymnasts landing in a ball and bouncing off the mat. Gymnasts landing on their knees with their face in the ground doing the back tuck version. Gymnasts holding their front tuck as long as possible and being thrown foward onto their faces by their out of control momentum. The temptation of the reward was just too great because the start value almost negated the deduction for a fall. There might need to be a larger deduction for a fall........or a whole NEW and larger deduction for performing a vault unsafely. ( this isn't JUST vault, but its the easiest example.)

[@Lovebirdd]

I 100% agree. THAT IS HOW YOU PUSH A SPORT. They are working against themselves and damaging the sport's progression due to their terrible decision making and fear of letting Simone shine. And it's very saddening to know that she will most likely retire without being able to perform that amazing skill and be rewarded for it. Such a waste.

[@FoxxyFire-HellFrost]

The entire system penalizes Simone for her abilities. They don't give her as many points as she deserves for the superhuman feats she's capable of. They should reward athletes for their hard work and dedication, not undercut them. Besides, wouldn't giving a skill a lower rating make gymnasts more likely to attempt something considered dangerous? If it was worth the points it deserves, they might realize how difficult the skills actually are.🤦‍♀️

[@alexi8741]

Oh I would loveeeeee a video where you explain the most significant changes to the COP for this next quad on all 4 events.

[@MariU9]

The most significant changes in my opinion is that releases with half turns on uneven bars are now worth the same as the same ones without half turns, and the fact that direct D acro + B acro and indirect C acro + D acro connections have been upgraded from 0.1 to 0.2

[@alexi8741]

@@MariU9 I feel like that’s actually huge. So if I’m understanding you correctly direct connections like 2.5 back layout (D) into a punch front layout (B) or punch front with half twist (B) both get 0.2 CV as well as front full layout (C) indirect into a double back (D) gets 0.2 CV. That’s actually huge for building difficulty on floor exercise. I imagine the front full into double back indirect connection will be very very popular in the next code then especially because it receives 0.2 dismount bonus

[@MariU9]

@alexi8741 yes, that's exactly how it works! And yeah, we're definitely gonna see a lot of indirect front full + double tuck/pike and direct 2.5 back layout + front layout in the next quad lol

I read the code of points now, the most importants things: *VT* Vaults still the same SV. Gr 5 vaults now have an incomplete turn deduction. 0.2 bonus in the score for vaults in different directions. *UB* The same CV (sadly).

FIG: we want athletes to push the limits of gymnastics biles: bet! *does the double double off beam* FIG: not like that

[@tamarapowell6996]

lol 😂 🎯

[@lisastiles1408]

The FIG’s explanation about the Biles dismount defies their own logic. Safety is assessed separately from difficulty. If a skill is inherently unsafe, then BAN IT. There are plenty of banned skills. They could have added to the list. Otherwise, the difference in Difficulty levels between a double full and a double double should be consistent with similar upgrades in the COP.

[@raquanwilliams5572]

It’s the literal biggest cop out in all of gymnastics tbh. I think they’re trying to control her BB wins because could you imagine the connection value they would have to award a J level skill like how she performs it. Simone would never lose another BB final again lmao which she’s won a medal in every single BB competition since her senior debut, so idk why they’re backtracking now

[@Appaddict01]

They need to up the difficulty for the Prod on VT. It got downgraded for the same reason.

[@thecreativegeek7886]

Two things: the full-in double pike should be more than its tucked counterpart, and the Biles should be at least an I (imo)

[@abigailsara]

[@SuperVictor400]

[@sydneydenham5778]

Wouldn’t it make more sense to increase the difficulty of Simone’s beam dismount, but increase the severity of the deductions? That would prevent people from trying it can’t do it really well consistently. High difficulty score only encourages unprepared gymnasts to try it if they can still score really high with a lot of mistakes.

[@raquanwilliams5572]

The quiet part the FIG isn’t saying out loud is they Simone CAN perform this dismount well with minimal deduction. Idk if you’ve noticed, but her full-ins look like they have a little too much juice lately, and I think it’s because she’s training the Biles I for the BB final. She’s legit the only girl that can stick a double double on or off floor it’s madness

[@tamarapowell6996]

For me, the blind mounts look far more scary than the Biles, yet they cite “safety concerns” for not giving it the proper credit. If you want no one to try it, you “ban” it, not criticize one who do it. They disgust me and should disbanded and start over from scratch! 😡

[@flamingcherryc]

Forward flipping movements are easier generally easier even though you can't see your landing. They don't require as much power and are learned before back tucks because they are easier. A single front tuck onto the beam poses a risk of straddling the beam or falling off, but it's not a neck breaking risk like the double flips are. I used to be a gymnast and the biles looks terrifying to me compared to the other skills.

[@tamarapowell6996]

@@flamingcherryc I understand that-but if a mast has the skillset to perform such a skill, she/he shouldn’t be punished for it. Everyone has different abilities and aesthetics. Personally, I would far more prefer to see more risks in the artistic category, not just strength. Not to take away from the strength inclined movements, but the aesthetic aspects are falling by the wayside in favor of the extra twists and flips in the landings and moves regarding “strength.” I used to LOVE to see the ladies’ creativity with flexibility on display. Russia and China led the way, but our Nastia, Shawn Johnson, Shannon Miller, Dawes, Moceanu, and even as recently as Gabby Doiglas during her 1st Olympics had gorgeous lines. I’ve been watching a reallyyyyy long time, although never having learned this beautiful sport. I was a powerlifter and my art was voice (currently an opera singer in training). I try to take time to appreciate the various beautiful art of all others though. I thank you for taking time to provide such an in depth response. Much appreciated. Love & Light 💕

[@tomeekun]

Do you guys think Simone can still pull off the double double at all? She said in an interview before nationals that she can perform 4 out of the 5 skills that are named after her. That means it's either the Biles I on vault or the double double on beam. I'm inclined to believe she actually can do the double double, she just chooses not to because the full in is much more comfortable for her and she can do it with less deductions maybe. Although she did post herself training the Biles I on instagram a couple months ago so perhaps I'm wrong.

[@captainbryce1]

Pretty sure she can do it. We’ve seen her do that more recently than the Biles 1 vault. And she’s only ever successfully landed the Biles 1 vault twice in competition. People forget about how difficult the Biles 1 vault is because we’re so blown away by the Biles 2. But nobody else in the world has ever even attempted a Biles 1. A lot of people describe it as Cheng with an extra half-turn, but that doesn’t give you a full sense of the difficulty of the skill, since a Cheng is valued at a 5.6. The Biles 1 is more accurately described as a Yeo vault with a roundoff half-turn before flight. The Yeo is worth a 5.8 and already considered to be more difficult than a Cheng. The Biles 1 is significantly more difficult than the Yeo since it adds the complicated gymnastics before the preflight and requires even more power. While technically not nearly as dangerous as a Produnova, I’d argue that the Biles 1 is more difficult to learn than the Produnova.

[@tomeekun]

@@captainbryce1 I think the biggest issue with the Biles I is the blind landing. You can't spot the mat the same way you can do with the Cheng. Women like Rebecca Andrade definitely have the strength and speed to add the extra half turn to their Cheng, it's just not worth it since it's so much more deduction prone and potentially dangerous.

[@jodavitow]

@@captainbryce1 It is an extremely technical vault. You have to be extremely powerful but also extremely precise with every step or you'll fall.

[@tiio2208]

IIRC it was the Biles I that she couldn't do for a while, though she started training it again. I think that one is definitely the hardest for her to pull off, she only did it a few times after all. I think we'd see her do he double double if it was valued accordingly.

[@captainbryce1]

@@tiio2208 I’m pretty sure the FIG would ban that vault as soon as any gymnast submitted it. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t even think that vault has ever been attempted in men’s gymnastics! Donnell Whittenburg and Asher Hong both do a half-in, half-out vault from a Tsukahara entry, and that’s already considered to be the most difficult and dangerous vault in the world right now. I don’t care if you go from a Yurchenko entry or not, adding an extra twist to that would be insane, and they’re certainly not going to allow a woman to compete that before a male gymnast performs it successfully and proves that it can actually be done safely. The potential for catastrophic injury is just too high.

She landed on her neck and ended up quadraplegic as a result.

[@MrChrismlamorte]

I wonder how well the power gymnasts would do if the code went back to a more balanced requirement between artistry and difficulty like it used to be?

[@ytadventurer9170]

If bending your knees incurs a .1 deduction, but the pike is worth the same as the tuck, couldn't any judge just call the pike a tuck and not deduct points?

[@lauura]

For a proper tucked shape, knees have to be bend to 90° or less. So a pike with (slightly) bend legs would also result in deductions if treated as a tuck. Similar for layout vs. pike: The hip has to be completely open (max bend of 10/30°, depending on the element) to receive credit as a layout. Otherwise it will count as piked but with deductions for insufficient piking. Although doing it "wrong" (i.e. not piking enough) actually makes it harder.

[@madeline5473]

They better have devalued those wolf turns I’m tired of seeing them in every single routine lmao.

Many gymnasiums and national federations hire special choreographers to design routines for their gymnasts. beam routine-A beam routine must consist of: A connection of two dance elements, one a leap, jump, or hop with legs in a 180-degree split. A full turn on one foot. One series of two acrobatic skills, one being a salto. Acrobatic elements in different directions (forward/sideward and backward) as you can see it IS ABOUT DANCE!!!!! Eight sports are governed by the FIG, including gymnastics for all, men's and women's artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, trampolining (including double mini-trampoline), tumbling, acrobatic, aerobic, and parkour. as you can see, acrobatic is different from ARTISTIC gymnastics...
