McKayla Maroney - Floor - 2013 World Championships - Qualification

[@horsesgiveuswings23]

Four years later and I'm still bitter over that tenth lol

[@danielryan9998]

the fact this wasn't in finals is a crime against humanity

[@WhitexTigerxHinata]

the reason she didn't qualify for the EF on this event was because her and Kyla Ross scored the same and Kyla beat her out in the tie breaker, so because of the two per country rule she didn't make the finals. This happened with AA as well. She qualified 5th but with Biles and Ross in 1st and 2nd she got knocked out of the finals. Which is a shame, would have loved to see her in more then just the VT finals!

[@hazelnutspred3348]

She also fell on beam

[@saragrant9749]

Just more proof of the uselessness of the two per country rule. They need to make changes there.

[@maddiegold296]

McKayla was so underrated on this event. She would’ve had a real shot of winning if she had qualified😪

[@danielryan9998]

as far as im concerned mckayla could be 40 seconds overtime and I really wouldn't care like this is just gorgeous gymnastics ughhh

[@faeryquene]

WAY underscored even with the time deduction.

[@exchequer11]

It's not that the music was "too long" that she got a penalty. She started moving too early at the start and caused the timer to start before she wanted it to. The timer starts when the gymnast moves not when the music starts. She rushed her mark and got a penalty.

[@connormccool9310]

yes! you can see her choreography is early after the double layout, alluding that she started her routine earlier than usual

[@MultiChantal22]

Devin Streur Yeah it's green because she started moving her hands (which is simultaneously as the music started), not because the music already started.

[@caligreen4208]

Her floor and vaults are excellent!!! Best around I’d say

[@amynicolaox]

part of her issues were that no one caught her music overtime all season, her score is really 14.433 (even with underscoring enough to be in FX finals), but because of the penalty, not a bad day she has to miss :(

[@annapavfan4680]

She really got better over time. She actually presented herself on the floor very well.

[@SonOfAGun1814]

lol these execution scores are beyond ridiculous... she was way underscored on floor and vault

[@mommydena]

Totally underscored. All of our girls have been!! Especially Kyla!

[@Appaddict01]

She gets massive height on all of her passes!! Mckayla & Simone are like a foot higher than everyone else.

[@brb06x2]

I literally love this routine so much! I really wish she could've gone to finals cause I truly think she had a shot at medaling.. Maybe even a silver. But it's too bad they didn't catch the 1 Second over problem earlier. Next year she'll medal!

[@aidanneill9940]

0:50 When I'm waltzing into class 5 minutes late and we are playing kahoot.

[@tREXrules27]

It’s 2019 and I’m still mad

[@immaslaveforyou]

i heard that she ended 1 sec over in her floor routine like i guess her music was too long and thats why she got alot of deductions and didnt make it into the final. but honestly she should have made it. she could have def won a medal.

[@SarahGodfrey23]

14.333??? she got ripped off!! there is not that many deductions on this floor routine!

[@searanch32]

She received a .1 deduction for being OVER TIME. Cannot believe this wasn't caught in training or during Classics and Nationals. Sacramone a la 2006.

[@SPohl-zy4rz]

So lovely McKayla. A strikingly beautiful routine. Gorgeous tumbling passes with sweet choreography. Big kudos!

[@happycommuter3523]

Nice routine! I love how well the music is edited.

[@faeryquene]

McKayla's E score versus Simone's and Kyla's was ridiculous.

[@jennifercarolyn]

I love, love, LOVE McKayla and especially this floor routine, but she had a .3 step on two tumbling passes, plus the .1 for the over time. The judges were quite willing to give this routine around a 9.0-ish e-score had she stuck her tumbling passes. I'm fully confident that missing out on the floor final is only going to motivate her to come back stronger next year and for the rest of the quad!

[@Wwekiddd]

I loveeee her

[@vanandnan]

Her second pass is the prettiest piece of gymnastics I have seen in my life!!!!!!!!!

[@warisarot]

After watching this routine I still don't understand the score of 14.333, it seemed really low.

[@tatilalima2874]

Essa menina tinha uma linha impecável

[@faeryquene]

That's not the only thing that kept her out of Finals. The judges hit her E score hard.

[@unknownuser-r5o]

Wow!!! Produnova music!!! Nice choice

[@amynicolaox]

So underscored. Is there a reason there was no inquiry? I also noticed there was a penalty for 1 second overtime, why wasn't this noticed at the beginning of the season? This routine & She should 100% be in floor finals, no question.

[@no1sbznz868]

there was no inquiry because she started early and messed up the timer starting with the music, it was her own fault and they knew it, so an inquiry would have been pointless and could have resulted in an even bigger deduction

[@jaydeenyc]

WAAAAAAAAY underscored. :(

[@htownhomie06]

any chance team usa puts maroney in finals anyway? the old soviets & Romanians used to do EF substitutions like that all the time.

[@nicolaalvaro254]

Miss her

[@mjp3575]

she totally should have made the final! it was insane how many deductions they found in that routine. In my opinion she had a better routine then everyone in that final including simone and kyla.

[@evettejohnson1962]

You are awesome cuz!!! Continue to shine. Knock em dead!!!! Keep striving, I am so proud of you!!!!! Luv ya much!!

[@Matthew-jh6oh]

Soooo underrated on floor

[@MrReed314]

Notice how artistic she is? It's so rare nowadays..Starting around 2000 or so the accent came to be all about power..Here MM is artistic but gets inderscored..Biles in one FX does her super-hard skills, but steps out of bounds 3 times, is as artistic as a rock and still gets the high score..I miss the 80s with the Eastern Block ladies FX and their ballet training...

[@fredererbills]

I counted an E Score of 9.0. How much do you get deducted for the music being overtime?

[@leopoldo4561]

God I have to give it up to her and all these young girls that were sexually abused and mistreated by the teams dr. To go out there and have to shut that out and perform like this, must of taken a lot of courage and strength .

[@heatherwicker9990]

Kyla shouldn't give up her spot because mckayla had issues. She wouldn't want her to do that. Mckayla will be back stronger than before. I am glad she is sticking around to show she can do the all around. One bad meet won't kill her. She's tough.

[@Julie-kb3mo]

😮 WOW !!! She did an AWESOME JOB. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 What a beautiful routine !!

[@charlirumbelow5428]

OMG....I inspire to be like her she's so beautiful

[@appleblossom101]

How did this go overtime?

[@lilahtov2745]

1:38 you can see where she went over time on her music. One again the US judging system and camp system fails an athlete by overlooking a very simple problem that ends up costing an athlete a spot in the finals. Shades of Sacaramone missing floor finals because incorrect dance combination requirements. (and one of her coaches was a floor judge!)

[@faeryquene]

Such a bizaare situation. And in EF the timer seemed to be off for real. I counted at least 3 gymnasts where the timer started at :05. But that wasn't the case with McKayla. The timer started as soon as she moved. Stupid mistake from her coaches/choreographers not to mention Marta and everyone else in charge at her Camp.

[@triciahaynes8525]

What was the .1 penalty for? I didn't see any OOBs.

[@callmeShmingle]

even though its only a .1 , if her music was the appropriate time she would not have received the deduction and she would have made the floor finals over Kyla

[@Redh3adElizabeth]

Can't believe she's not in floor finals:(

[@gymnasticsfan8]

she got lots of deductions for her leaps too... she needs refinement. she could've easily made up that 1/10 of a point for her music overtime if she made her leaps at 180... or pointed her toes on the DLO, etc.

[@settheworldonfire94]

She got .1 in neutral deductions because she was overtime. She was also overtime overtime both days at Nationals. How did no one catch that??

[@MrReed314]

Severely underrated on FX

[@aansmith6775]

She had a huge chance of being the goat 😢

[@sonjaemery]

Agree….such a shame

[@faeryquene]

And the timer situation is entirely the fault of her coaches/choreographer/Marta and USA gymnastics. And imo McKayla's E score when she hits everything should be higher than a 9.00! :) She also shows tremendous power on her tucked double arabian. She's got enough power for a Dos Santos I or II imo.

[@joannakroyd]

Please please get rid of the 2 oer country rule!!! Seriously? How fair is it that a girl who places 21st in qualifications moves on to AA while some who placed 4, 5, etc do not...simply because their country has better gymnasts?? Its unfair to the individual gymmast. And since they've made Worlds an individual event... its only fair the top 24 go on. REGARDLESS OF COUNTRY

[@shaffiedog]

that's only 1/10 of a point... the equivalent of a tiny step out a leap. still quite underscored comparatively.

[@kameroncoleman9293]

Marc Myron Well.... Brenna was an alternate but, she could have easily score a 14.5+ so you are right!

[@laurensmorin3453]

why are they underscoring her so badly? She's doing so well...

[@ZachWendland]

You realize she got a technical deduction for her music being overtime?

[@lindseyallen7238]

Is mac not doing AA?

[@canyouclay]

UNDERSCORED. I don't believe Kyla should give up her spot especially considering that if Mckayla was in the final, they would underscore her anyway.. I do feel like Mckayla's floor routine was better and deserved the spot though. But hey it is what it is. Can't change it so might as well cheer Kyla on.

[@AllAboutDisney-n3c]

definitely should have made the final!!!

[@chessi1820]

she probably got that score cause most of her leap weren't complete splits You can tell she was really nervous at the beginning cause she wasn't going with the music

[@CodySDivineCreators]

If this is how she will score on this event she won't medal. I think she should have gotten higher. This is a result of the inflated American scoring. She scored a 15.2 at nationals with a routine similar to this one.

[@chrisingles102]

What ever did she do to the piss the judges off?!

[@ghostshell30]

Oh I see how got -0.1 from her music is too long at the end. Oh dear!!!

[@treebear8364]

Can somebody please explain why her execution score was so low?

[@LoBytes]

tree bear I imagine it's because of her landings after the tumbling passes. Not in the correct stance (not "sticking").

[@blakegillpuente3904]

(3 years later) If you look at her landings, she steps out of every pass except her double layout, and she usually steps forward or backward out of most of her leaps. All those are anywhere from 0.1 - 0.3 deductions each. Also, she may have had some form errors on her double layout (legs *slightly* bent, and open/not totally together) or her 2nd pass, the 2.5 + Front Full. I do think they were maybe a little harsh, but the executive here was actually less clean than her FXs at home for Nationals. She also got hammered on BB (major balance check and a fall), but got a surprisingly good UB E-Score!! She wasn't far behind Kyla!

[@missregansays]

Agree...underscored.

[@AuroraR]

She was deducted for being over time. Look at the time on the board as she walks by it.

[@Appaddict01]

What is up with the judging? Kyla in FX final over Mckayla Maroney? WTF!

[@Lucienovelline]

Definitely underscored.

[@CodySDivineCreators]

So sad she missed out on finals on a tie breaker with her teammate.

[@Kylelam10]

Kyla should give up her spot in the floor finals since she has no chance for a medal! Plus Mckayla was way underscored!

[@faeryquene]

Why should she? No athlete should be expected to give up a spot that they rightfully qualified for. No more than Gabby or Aly should've given up their AA spot to then reigning World Champion Jordyn at the Olympics. Kyla earned it.

[@Anjinhulilas]

I love McKayla Maroney and I know it would be even more beautiful routine with arabian double pike

[@RoseHadsell68]

but if you watched floor finals two gymnasts's musics were overtime and they didn't get deducted. i believe she stepped out on her arabian double

[@MultiChantal22]

Rose Hadsell Which gymnasts are you reffering to? Anyways here she didn't step OOB as the line judges didn't do anything (and it's pretty clear that she stayed in bounds, she was just close to the border). And you can see that in the end her timer turns red which means it's overtime (deduction).

[@williamt594]

@@MultiChantal22 Mai Murakami went overtime I know that. However she DID get deducted otherwise her score was a joke, she should have easily been ahead of vanessa ferrari

[@TheeGrandDaddy]

That was great :D

[@ghostshell30]

Like a boss!!!

[@gymansticsmontages6580]

underscored.

[@Se31298]

UNDERSCORED

[@melhudson1703]

Simone is great on floor but i dread her music lol

[@searanch32]

She was deducted .1 for being over time. Otherwise, she would have been in the final.

[@horsesgiveuswings23]

What even is up with this scoring. Just...?

[@KomovasSplits]

I wish she'd learn to dance like Nastia and the Russians and Romanians. If she did that and improved bars she'd be perfect!

[@zachd6537]

Way underscored smh

[@GibranisCoolurnot]

shame she missed the final.

[@CodySDivineCreators]

Kyla should give up her spot....

[@ZBGregory]

OOB before her first tumbling pass? Boogers.

[@Yoga-rs4mk]

she is talented but not work hard for other apparatus. Her vault specialist maybe already enough for her achievement

[@tatilalima2874]

😍

[@ghostshell30]

I think not!!!

[@TheGymSavant]

She had a point in landing deductions alone. She's sloppy. It's not rocket science lmao

[@faeryquene]

I dread her music and choreo. She's an incredible tumbler with personality plus to spare but Simone needs new choreo/music STAT!
