Joscelyn Roberson and Jessica Gadirova identical floor routines

World Championships 2023 Antwerp

[@AugustSlippedAway15]

Jocelyn’s been NAILING those landings!!! She’s so much fun to watch. Love the Gadirova’s too - this worlds is just an example of so much amazing gymnastics!!

[@bhumiparekh6444]

Omg they are so similar! I feel like due to the code of points a lot of gymnasts are doing very similar routines on most of the apparatus

Both doing great work and expressing different styles. They should feel very proud and I’m wishing them a great Worlds experience. 🎉

[@elizabethr.9359]

Wow I didn’t realize but they’re super similar in terms of their dance execution it’s kinda crazy Joscelyn got hit with a whole point, I would say in the dance elements she had one or two more static seconds but a point is insane in my opinion. Both great routines, Joscelyn’s gymnastic execution was better for sure but Gadirova’s dance was just a bit more dynamic.

[@Whit-kj6fr]

Their dance elements are also quite different. You can see Jocelyn isn’t quite hitting the positions in her leaps and hops as well. For example, in her hip full she is bent over forwards with loose knees and just barely at horizontal with her leg. Both of them bend their knee going into their tour-jete a bit, but Jess hits a better split shape

[@jordijuliancasaban9039]

[@philipwendt9668]

all is identical with no one...just referring to the Laws of form (G.S. Brown)

[@capriciousstudent]

This feels like what has happened with UB in the past few years- certain skills and connections are so favorably scored that routine compositions become fixed and repetitive. Gymnasts only focus on training these specific set of skills, leading to a LOT of nearly identical (at least in tumbling passes) routines. And in the end, both originality and choreography suffer; We’re in the era of “do the most difficult tumbling you possibly can, even if form and execution suffers as a result, then throw in some poses and call it dance”

[@truthteller7891]

Such an original comment

[@capriciousstudent]

@@truthteller7891a comment as original as current routine composition

[@tambam6744]

@@capriciousstudentNah. Your exact comment has been parroted since the induction of the open-ended CoP. Routines are definitely more original in this comparison.

[@margaretkinnaman8585]

I have to agree with your statement on how there is so little originality any more...go back to the 1970-90's to see how interesting and original a lot (not all of course) of routines were. The variety of mounts and dismounts alone was quite amazing. And the dance was far more varied as well. Go back and look at the routines of Khokina or Podaptava and you will see what I mean. Svetlana Bogemskya is another very original and beautiful gymnast. I wish that the CoP awarded artistry & originality as well as execution like they used to.

[@jojox9791]

​@margaretkinnaman8585 the requirements now leave little room for originality, yet they want originality. FIG is destroying this sport further with each quad and their horrible scoring decisions!

[@sandrap6308]

I hope Josc gets in the finals and even wins a medal.

[@Ian.D.]

I don't think she'll outscore her teammates for one thing to even make the finals. And she has a very low execution score which doesn't bode well for a medal.

[@leykimayri]

The only medal she’ll be getting is the team one

[@Lovebirdd]

I don't.

[@andreid.8568]

Eww, why would you hope she'll medal in ARTISTIC gymnastics?

[@margaretkinnaman8585]

​@@Ian.D.She will be outscored by Simone and Shilease and since there's a 2 pet country limit it isn't happening. And I just don't think her execution is all that great. She has flexed feet as well as crossed feet on so many on her tumbling runs and her knees are often soft or even slightly flexed and she falls out of her Mitchell more often then not. I think they will only use her in the vault in team finals. I think Leanne will go up on FX with Simone and Shilease. And it will be either Shilease, Simone and Skye on BB or Leanne, Simone & Shilease on BB. UB I have no idea.

@MNP208 It's just an observation, which I believe is why her legs LOOK like they are not fully extended but are! Not being mean, I have the same type. Get over it!

[@elizabethr.9359]

We’re used to seeing hyperextension in gymnastics so that may be why she doesn’t look like she has straight legs when she does. She seems to have a more normal range of motion versus most other gymnasts. Source: I have a genetic condition where hyper-extensible joints is a main characteristic

Gymnastics today is so boring that it's totally possible it being a pure coincidence...

[@wanf872]

exactly. the COP hasn't changed enough from quad to quad and at this point, coaches and gymnasts have probably figured out how to optimize it. that's why all the beam routines are so boring to watch too.

[@loveanimalsmost2134]

Boring in the context of all of the gymnasts are using the same skills and combinations to take advantage of the new code...For sureI agree 100% Yet at the same time , it's soo crazy exciting difficulty wise. Lots of gymnasts sre starting to try to up the difficulty . I wish the FIG would see this and figure out a way to reallychange the game . . take caps of of certain elements as well. But they need to figure out a way to let coaches and gymnasts be more creative

[@objetivista686]

@@loveanimalsmost2134 i think it was really exciting when very difficult elements and combinations started to being performed for the first time in the 80's and 90's. Today, top gymnasts are using most of these same difficult elements.

[@margaretkinnaman8585]

I agree that it's becoming so similar that after you've seen a couple of routines, You've already seen them all because they are so much alike. Go back the the 1970-1990 and see the variety of mounts, dismounts and chorography to see real artistry. I remember Svetlana Bogenskya, Podipayava, and Khokina and their incredibly beautiful routines. And Tatiana Gutsu. I know I butchered the names, sorry

[@U2BearCat]

Very obvious that Gadirova is the better dancer and has better musicality hers is the better routine.

[@pedropelaez]

Then she should go do dancing as a professional. Executing the tumbling passes better should always trump “dancing” better. The ridiculousness of saying someone is more artistic and has better musicality (subjective much) is so annoying.

[@lyd2460]

Yes. I noticed that taller gymnast or gymnast with longer arms and legs are called graceful yet shorter and more muscular gynmast like Simone and Jocelyn are not seen as artistic. Just body shaming haters . That's why they go nuts and hate when simone wins because she apparently does not have the 'right' body for the sport. These haters are still stuck in 1960s where skinny 😏👀 women used to dominate. They hate seeing strong beautiful women like simone and Jocelyn because to them it represents manliness instead of hard work and dedication. Now I do think Jocelyn can improve but the hate is too much. Poor girl.

gymnasts with more flexibility attracting higher scores? What a concept

[@kbrown5523]

Josc has got great landings, but her form in the air is horrible. Anything laid out makes me wince when I watch her. The landings are perfection, but her dance has zero extension or interest. I really like Josc, but I don't understand the pass that she's getting on her form. How did she get to this level without her form issues getting addressed?

[@colesmith7509]

There have been SO many high level gymnasts with worse tumbling technique than her. It is maybe average at the absolute worst

[@jojox9791]

She is very very tiny (4.8) and doesn't have hyperextension. Muscular for that little frame too. So even when she is fully extended it doesn't appear she is. I guess it is up to the judges what they see. Body type should not be a factor

[@SilvermoonProductions]

People don’t seem to care about the fact her form falls apart in the air, as long as she sticks her passes she seems to be considered better than Jess. It also seems like standing and smiling for 10 minutes after each pass surpasses Jess’ constant, uninterrupted dance lol
