[@jonclayton379]

omg that smile after that stick on the first pass!

[@auspicious93]

I think she recently got her braces off, which makes her smile even more beautiful!

[@annapavfan4680]

FRLZ!!

[@sallydaniel1023]

She's one of a VERY few gymnasts that can actually dance. Beautiful exercise!

[@victorbeauregarde1502]

THAT STICK THO

[@ntabon0219]

The best floor I think she’s ever done. Point-blank-PERIOD Way to go Morgan!

[@giantpandaemerald333]

So awesome! That double double was honestly one of the best I’ve ever seen in WAG! Great job Morgan!

[@ThePrintMajesty]

STUCK Silivas! Wow! 😍

[@liceous]

STUCK DOUBLE DOUBLE IM SCREECHING

[@moppet17]

Omg goosebumps on that Silivas stick!!!! ♥♥♥♥

[@invictus6424]

Omg that stick was amazing!!

[@granniez8035]

She was truly awesome, ...great job representing us Morgan!!

[@jojox9791]

I know Simone is officially back on the national team, most likely be at worlds.. But damn, I'll be rooting for morgi right behind her!!!!! Awesome, awesome routine

[@melissawingfield8666]

Jhilton ... I think I'll be rooting for Morgan before Simone. Although I haven't watched anything recent from Simone. I still think that Morgan has a chance to out-do Simone though.

[@ChronicallyCassidy]

Jhilton 70 and Ragan Smith

[@Appaddict01]

Jhilton 70 It’s going to be a death match. To make FX finals. Between Simone, Jade, & Morgan. They could legit go 1-2-3. They’re better than the Simone, Aly, Maggie team.

[@DeepSeas..]

Appaddict01 Nah. Jade isn’t better than Aly yet. And Morgan certainly isn’t better than Maggie. Let’s not downplay Aly and Maggie because something new and shiny has come along. Jade and Morgan need to up their level and consistency first.

[@jojox9791]

Appaddict01 idk after seeing Simone has not only caught up to 2016 Simone, but surpassed her, fx, at the very least, will be the Simone show for 18 and possibly part of 19 until she pulls out all 4

[@elizac.2271]

That stuck double double gives me life. landing on the double pike was great too! Nice improvement from last year. If she works on controlling the other two landings, especially on the double lay, she will be unstoppable. But really clean for an upgraded routine already!

[@MzKaylcC]

Eliza C. Simone coming back this year

[@melissawingfield8666]

MaKayla Clark-Sol ... I think Morgan has a chance against her. Sure, Simone proved herself in the Olympics and many events over the years, but Morgan has be proving herself over and over again, getting stronger and stronger every time I watch her.

[@Appaddict01]

Melissa Wingfield No. if Simone is near her best. She will still have huge advantages on floor & vault. Both in difficulty & execution. Simone’s fast connections on beam. Probably, will put her father ahead of the field. Than she already was. The judges are hammering the girls, on slow connections.

[@Clazzaaa1708]

I never would have guessed before the last olympics that Morgan would be the new star of USAG !! She has improved enormous amounts and deserves the success she is getting. It's also really refreshing to see a routine that's more graceful and elegant from the USA front runner. In the last quad the floor routines were so high energy and really entertaining but this choreography is just beautiful to watch. She reminds me of a perfect blend of Aly and Nastia, incredibly strong tumbling and beautiful dance. Congratulations Morgan!!

[@kimzw]

Beautiful! Congrats Morgi!

[@LC-ig2jm]

AA results: Gold-Hurd: 56.599, Silver-Mai: 55.633, Bronze-Maile: 54.365 Congratulations to all. Btw, Yul won the mens AA too.

[@kathleennunley8211]

I can't wait to see you win gold!!!!

[@moonstruck-swede]

Almost six years later and this is still my favorite routine of all time! The choreography is beautifully executed by Morgan on top of the phenomenal passes that she stuck!

[@ItsSeanzie]

Miles better than her World’s performance! Can’t wait to see what else she does this year!

[@kevinsam3078]

Just take 3 extra world medals , one of each color

[@janicesladek9756]

I feel she is under rated, she is beautiful to watch and so talented. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves. Go Morgan .

[@matthewhines9787]

I love clocking Chelsea Memmel and Anna Li as line judges.

[@ahavens2463]

I love her floor exercise. That last pose is so cool. She seems to have improved as well. I'm so glad the Nassar scandal has not distracted these girls. They were great. Congrats Morgan!

[@destiny236231]

I channeled my Inner Morgan Hurd at my meet today and stuck my first pass, thanks Morgan!

[@harharchris]

Those little things like finger crawling and toe wiggling are such a nice touch to her dance. And, she's on point with the music all throughout her exercise. 😍

[@amarkray01]

Excellent job here. I like the upgrade to the double layout instead of the piked full in on the 2nd pass. I always get nervous before her 3rd pass (she struggled with it throughout all of last year), but her landings on every pass were much better. Her tumbling also has more height and better form, even from Worlds just a short time ago. Well done.

[@heatherpenn5675]

Great job!! Best one she's done so far!!

[@melissawingfield8666]

That was great! Those landings were the most solid I've seen her do! Keep up the great work Morgan!

[@ria-zul-zannah7100]

Such excellent choreography!

[@ignaciomarin5076]

OMG that double double

[@inespalma2929]

She just stuck a double double!😍amazing

[@sketchers987]

Nice routine, can't wait to see her at worlds with a new routine. I thought she wasn't hitting her splits in training. I think it was the angle. Looks great.

[@anyafaith1165]

HOLY!! The stick on that Silivas! I grinned so huge when she landed that. Amazing.

[@tylerfeildway3047]

She’s grown so much from 2017 wow😍

[@_wtr_1127]

I love her ! She will do great things in Japan !

[@alexandrap1715]

She’s amazing💗✨

[@davesmith6235]

That was amazing. Awsome performance.😇🤗💞

[@m.theresa1385]

Yeah, had to rewatch her.

[@paytonbailey3608]

I could see her being in the 2020 Olympics. She’s one of my favorite gymnast.

[@annapavfan4680]

0:22 ... Clincher to this awesome routine!! So happy Morgiboo is getting better on her landings and as a gymnast. Edit: A smile like that is something you can't force :) . Silivas herself would say "That's how you perform my skill ."

[@TheGymSavant]

that double double tho

[@GymnasticsWorldWide]

That first pass had me so shook. Perfect

[@lionsmaine1238]

Yaaassss girl, stick that double doubleeeee

[@tatilalima2874]

Perfeita

[@AlejandroAriasSVaughan]

Such height in every single skill. She's so good!

[@gymnasticsboy3]

Girl you betta WERK that double double

[@brittanyschobel5030]

That double though.... And her glasses stay on!!

[@rodneydofunny3129]

I was there a few hours ago in Chicago

[@calebencarnacion4938]

That is some serious improvement!!!

[@tiaj4140]

Those upgrades tho - girl got some made serious skills!! Any thoughts on why the D score was 5.6 and not 5.7? Maybe the direct acro connection for the front tumbling pass isn't eligible for a CV .1?

[@saragrant9749]

I hope she is able to make the Paris Olympic team, she’s a beautiful dancer and has so much charisma!

[@umgymnast3778]

Holy crap!!! Stick double double!

[@lucianagal461]

She is so damn gracefull!!

[@carolinebryant3052]

Stuck double double! Amazing!

[@Appaddict01]

Damn, girl! When did you become so consistent. I was only slightly nervous. When she went on beam. She looked so confident. Last year, I would have been terrified & holding prayer beads.

[@kevinsam3078]

That double double tho ❤️

[@mtrznc3735]

that silivas KILLED me!!!

[@kameroncoleman9293]

[@sommynoks3941]

Like a bawse!

[@ChronicallyCassidy]

I wish she would just show like she enjoying her routine, and smile! Only one smile. She’s got some beautiful sections of her routine, she just needs to use her face!

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

8.4???

[@thecreativegeek7886]

Jackson Catlett - ikrrr

[@gymfan4755]

I got a 14.166

[@marsmartin7335]

Overall I like Morgan Hurd's floor routine. A fair criticism can be made in the interpretation. It's not bad. She does a good job overall however the interpretation of the music needs work. In particular, the interpretation of the music in her face. I hope the coaches work on that and not try to hide it in the choreography. In fact, doing so makes it painfully obvious. Look how much better the routine is in that first pass with the genuine smile matched to the light happy part of the music. Imagine if that smile in her first pass was always in the routine. The routine is just worlds better there. (Interpretation of the music is part of the code and reflected in the execution.)

[@mitzr6307]

Seriously this was not special at all. The girls at LSU do same difficulty and are much better. I think she is good though, but doesn’t have that wow factor.

[@shangchunsongfan8302]

Morgan is 10x more elegant and graceful than all those orange LSU girls
