Jessica Gadirova FX QF World Championships Antwerp 2023

Score: 14.400 (6.2 + 8.200)

She has lovely lines, and good choreography that she leans into. Many other gymnasts jut kind of go through the motions of their choreography but i love how she is into it. She would make a great NCAA gymnast.

People defending the high score by talking about her qualities - yes I agree she’s talented and good, but that doesn’t explain objectively how this received an 8+ E score. I got 7.9 without being overly strict, others have gotten 7.8. Her artistic performance wouldn’t inflate that score; I didn’t take off for artistry, but it still doesn’t affect her other e-score deductions, especially on the second pass.

[@johnrowe9270]

Hi Regan. I just wanted to say thank you for your channel. Over the years you've really helped us understand the code of points. With Jess, it would be very insulting to gymnastics, to the international judges from all countries from all over the world, to hear that every time they see a single gymnast they are purposely 'overscoring' her. You've educated us. Thanks again.

[@Matthew-nw5tb]

But they actually are over scoring her and she isn’t being held accountable for receiving all these benefits and acting like she won them herself. Jessica was a selfish cheater when they did this to her score last year and this year is the same

[@Ajay.Plants]

​@@Matthew-nw5tbJess didn't cheat. She didn't put her scores in the judges did. Anyone who actually knows gymnastics knows she has some of the smartest routine composition and some of the best artistry as per the codes requirements. Even if you don't like her, don't tell me this girl with some of the best tumbling, gorgeous vaults. And great form on bars and beam shouldn't be medaling.

How her e score is higher than Leanne Wong with three stuck landings is beyond me. The judges seem to have a love affair with ignoring Jess’s form and landing deductions while coming down hard on other’s less egregious landing errors….

[@r28ki_43]

It's not all about landings. Leanne: 1 stuck landing, 2 solid landings, 1 bad landing, + all of them a bit low or short Jess: one solid landing, 1 bad landing, one with a visible hop, but first and third pass with chest up, + better hight on every element (including leaps), better form in the air, better artistry

[@sophiemowe8321]

There is no requirement that gymnasts do four tumbling passes. I don't think there ever has been. You very clearly don't know what you are talking about, so I recommend that you don't say mean things about an 18 year old gymnast online.

[@SyreneFaroreVA]

Wait it got 14.4!? I thought it was less than that. Oh well I take it back then. The obvious pike down on her first path and scattered landing on her second definitely were worth deductions. I still enjoy her style but less than 14 for this route makes more sense. Hope she cleans up for later on.

[@LarryLegend3923]

People dont understand what the judges asked for n how this performance exceeded what judges want. Perfect dance skills. Perfect hands arms face. All choreographed perfectly. She sold it. It was perfection.

[@SyreneFaroreVA]

Yeah! Her artistry is still beautiful even if her form is a little off. She has nice mix of elegance along with great (if not messy) tumbling. And as you the code swings towards artistry this time~ Regardless even if she was bad I’m British so I love her style anyway!

It's actually insane how most of the hate and heavy criticism is coming from Americans, yes her Chusovitina was BAD but the rest of the routine is very pristine, and unlike a lot of other gymnasts she has skills than she can actually DO, leaps and jumps that ACTUALLY SURPASS the 180, and ACTUAL choreography and artistry.

I also think it's a little sexist to demand that all girls be exactly the same as the code requires, uniqueness is the mark of the human race. i think for me and a lot of people, the best years of gymnastics in this new code were 2007-2016 … we saw a lot of beautiful routines and great gymnasts and the code was not so harsh on the athletes.

Yes shes a bit over scored. Some of the landings have low chest. It should be 14.1 or 14.2 atleast

[@_padfoot]

You're right... but a 3 tenth landing deduction for her chest below waist on landing, and the 3 tenth step/stumble is pretty big... Lots of deductions on her final tumbling run as well. Amazingly, I think her opening pass only deserves -0.2, it's a really really pretty Moors. Her gogean (besides the fact that it's getting downgraded for the incomplete turn) deserves a 3 tenth body shape error IMO for the way that she entirely cheats the beginning of the tour jete with a bent leg that never extends out before she switches. Jordan Chiles used to do this before she dropped the Gogean. @@matthewplampton955 That said, I have heard that it's hard to tell on videos but she has really impressive amplitude on her leaps.
