Kayla Williams - Floor Exercise - 2009 Visa Championships - Women - Day 1

Score: 14.250 - Aug. 13, 2009 - Visa Championships - Women - Day 1 - American Airlines Center - Dallas, Texas

[@nenative]

love the synchronization with music on the landing of the second pass!

[@MissCharSommer]

TRIPLE SIDE PASS !!! wow

[@mindyschocolate]

Wow, she made that double layout look like nothing, lol! I love a gymnast who has different tumbling passes. Someone made the comment that routines consist of nothing but double twists and double backs, and I can't help but agree. I can't think of anyone who's done a double layout, or ended with a full in. I also like her leo. :o)

[@panicandfoblvr]

what happened to this girl? she was amazing.

[@uwoeric]

Wow, that's a REAL dismount :D~

[@DarkAnGeLl1993]

I can tell that she's also a dancer judging how she props her hands. She keeps her fingers almost at blades. And she's simply amazing as well. =)

[@jjgould94]

To all wondering about the low score: it's because she has no front tumbling pass, which doesn't give her all the composition requirements in her routine. Otherwise it would be a very high score.

[@connor3983]

I think the side semi is considered a front element

[@MzKaylcC]

Exactly

[@doubletuckgymnastics7931]

jjgould94 the side somi gave her that requirement. This is the 2009-12 code of points

[@TheTimo5494]

The low score is cause is the year after the Olympics, scores are always low the year after

[@searanch32]

@mindyschocolate Kim Zmeskal opened with a whip through to double layout and then did a piked full-in as her last pass back in the '92 Olympic Trials. Kerri Strug also performed a DLO and then a full-in dismount from 93-96. Unless of course you are talking about recent gymnasts. Not many do that kind of tumbling anymore. :-(

[@elysepatterson6187]

I met her at Flipfest and I love her soooo much ❤️❤️❤️

[@ghostshell30]

She one of favorite newcomer gymnastic, can't wait to see what she do next.

[@mariocesar9233]

Muito booommm ... Parabens.... Congratulações

[@lewisovhebn]

wow ! full twistin double pike too finish!! 2012 event finals floor ?? :D

[@LCAmarkymark]

I mean Am I wrong in thinking that this was underscored. Should have been a 15.000 at least

[@Ciarán-_02]

Agreed I her difficulty could have been really low ??

[@benrobinson77]

great double layout!!!

[@sqekcx]

yeah I miss seeing dismounts like this one. It's all double pikes, 2.5 twists or doulbe tucks. Where are the full ins and triple twists? I know Jessica Gil Ortiz does a piked full in, but that's the only one.

[@boytoyville]

Congrats on making the world team. I figured she would be their vault and floor choice!

[@3Dgymnast14]

your reallu good at floor and vault good luck !! ::)

[@clover13x]

i understand the like physics of like a sommersault but how the freeeek do you do layouts!!!!! there insane!!!!!

[@eMthegymnast]

does anyone know this music?!?! i played it in band but i forgot what it was! its so pretty!!

[@nicholasohren9644]

Malagueña

[@MarkoRadivojevic]

@chocolatefan1711 I think that wasnt a question,it is just crazy to have triple as a side pass,so difficult...

[@imelizabeth4]

@adventuregirl76 who all is on the world team?

[@lisapizza16]

does anyone know what her start value was

[@Elemarth]

So anyone know what happened to her? I haven't heard a thing about her this year. She didn't disappear the way she came, did she?!

[@NzenitraM]

Oke the splits.... But hello, was that a triple twist on the side-pass :O That's just amazing!

[@kgora197]

whats the move at .58 ?

[@willsbob123]

@NastiaCarlyFan I think if Nastia can come back as good as she was then she'll easily be selected for 2012. But, imo, with Jordyn being more of an All-arounder it's more likely that Marta will choose her, as well as Kayla, they're both phenomenal.

[@mo0rrisz]

what's the music?

[@marieked]

@kgora197 it's a butterfly jump or twist.

[@Ciarán-_02]

When in video is this?

[@aceuniverse6682]

It was 2009 and they had a new code. If you notice, in 2009 they were really harsh to all gymnasts. But in 2010, they kinda held off a little bit.

[@13shifter]

@Elemarth like what GraceEleganceDestiny said she has retired due to a torn ligiment in her foot

[@Stone.Ng88]

Did she use her side somi as front tumbling?

[@xplosive08]

WOW...that really was HUGE

[@produnov]

Yes, I know they were and still are being harsh, but not to all gymnasts. She was really underscored in this routine, there

[@ffalcons102]

@Elemarth she retired but is doing NCAA level 10

[@TheSecretflies]

@gymnasticsfan14 in my opinion, no one can be Shawn Johnson, but Shawn Johnson!:)

[@Presshandstandgirl]

@adventuregirl76 No she didn't, she retired

[@Davylp]

WHAT WAS THE Start value for this? Was she missing high scoring dance spins? her tumbling was very difficult. So she is a no go tho for 2012? why?

[@RagingBearMeme]

Yes, obviously she has to work on her splits. But obviously her tumbling is phenomenal.

[@lewisovhebn]

America's Produnova ;)

[@LaGinnasta]

my god

[@produnov]

Uh? 8,6? 8,5? I really wish I could have some of what those judges were drinking...

[@Chaaantii]

wow

[@ballethoney]

She is an exciting gymnast to watch. I just love her big, fluffy ponytail. It's so bouncy. lol

[@KadenLunt]

@lisapizza16 9.0 highest SV in the world!

[@schill2002]

Maybe 2010 Worlds. Going from Level-10 to World Championships in one year would be pretty remarkable. I think she'll get nailed on the international scene for poor form and lack of flex (like Natasha Kelley)

[@aceuniverse6682]

I feel like the clapping would take away from how dramatic this routine is.

[@LCAmarkymark]

@gymnastics404 malaguena

[@willsbob123]

I think she needs a lot more work on her choreography. Especially her split leaps, they are really not acceptable. But, her tumbling is good, she just needs to stick her passes!

[@LCAmarkymark]

@Gr33nkiwi lol nice..I guess I though she made up for it in her dance..which most gymnast these days try and fake or don't even attempt.

[@Tyra09Joe]

what's up with the score ?!?! she should've got higher.

[@TheJordy456]

@enpha87 hahaha yes it was! she is amazing!

[@lisam1987]

Choreography isn't that good, but man CAN SHE TUMBLE!!

[@Dancing24]

great tumbling, but terrible choreo,

[@nicksline]

She really shouldn't have used that music. If a gymnast in the past (Lyssenko) has used that music and made it special already, it will only remind people of how great that routine was and not how good this one is.

[@aidlum]

she is amazing at tumbling, but the dance was not good especially that aerial

[@WAGgymSuperFan]

Adria LP It was a tucked side somi.

[@danielcnsilva]

She can work a little bit more in her leaps, how does she want to have a medal in this next worlds without clean leaps?

[@x20xRachx06x]

Yet another American gymnast who cannot hit 180degree splits =\.
