Most Well Executed Vaults (2006-2022)

[@nicholasohren9644]

Alicia Sacramone scored a 9.60 for her DTY in Being QF, not a 9.4

[@gymnasticfan9148]

You are right, I knew she scored 15.400 but somehow I got confused and put as 9.400. So she should be in 3rd here.

[@JennaLeigh]

Maria Paseka's form just eats at me. Literally NO ONE ELSE has the same form issues. At one point her feet were at least a shoulder width apart on her block. How she made EFs so many times blows my mind. That's an Amanar with a Tkatchev root.

[@bagelized]

Because her actual technique is better than most gymnasts that do the Cheng.

[@Cheffamily]

[@chewiegym2765]

Aly's scores should not be so close to Maroney's. I think Aly Raisman is one of the greatest floor workers of all time, and a brilliant human being, but her Amanars were very overscored!

[@colesmith7509]

To be fair in 2012 every single half decent vault scored at least a 9.1 and lots of vaults with decent landings scored in the 9.3s. A 9.766 was a huge jump from a 9.4 especially in 2012

[@gymnasticfan9148]

@@colesmith7509 But 2 of Aly's vaults were from 2016

[@Margo-oj5yc]

I feel like the problem with the Code is that it penalizes any deviation from perfect form in such a way that McKayla's and Simone's crossed toes receive the same deduction as Aly's crossed legs. I think other events could take a page from bars scoring, where a handstand that finishes up to 10* from vertical receives no deduction. It allows for a small window between "perfect" and "no deduction", and I think it should apply in other ways too.

[@chewiegym2765]

@@Margo-oj5ycI agree! helicopter legs should definitely be a larger deduction than crossed feet with otherwise spotless form

[@colesmith7509]

@@gymnasticfan9148 I mean it's not really fair to compare vaults from different times, especially not a 2016 vault to one in 2012. I definitely agree that Aly was overscored to a degree, but it wasn't as egregious as everyone is making it out to be. Aly's scores aren't as ridiculous as Mykayla's 9.6 E for an OOB vault with a big hop

Outstanding! Maroney, Biles, and Rebecca are just vaulters that make you go wow! Their shoulder angles and ease just makes everyone else have several seats. Johnson just and that damn step! If anybody has a video of Johnson presenting to the judges with confidence like Maroney, Rebecca or Biles, please upload.

[@JennaLeigh]

I don't think it's a confidence issue so much as she was a powerful twister and I don't think she ever quite mastered the control that someone like, say, Biles has. Biles has an air awareness that's nearly superhuman. Combine that with her positively explosive power, and you've got an untouchable GOAT. Tbf I think Shawn on BB and FX was more confident.

It's crazy when you realize that 2 judges gave 9.6 for this vault 1:37 and also 2 judges gave 9.6 for this vault 0:02

[@Gettingoffthestrugglebus]

I think the main reason for Gabby’s vault being judged lower is that Shawn and Aly had more air and height where as Gabby is a phenomenally fast twister. On vault there is more weight placed on the air and height vs being a quick twister. However, Gabby was definitely for sure an underrated vaulter. I would have like to have seen her do a tskuhara vault to try and make vault finals.

Aly Raisman is an amazing gymnast but those Amanars featured here had awful body position in the air. No comparison to the vaults by Simone or McKayla that are featured here

[@WanessaAgataNerd-wl9co]

Simone e Maroney rainhas do Amanar, se bem que no caso da Simone pode colocar mais uns dois que só ela faz

[@captainbryce1]

I think Gabby Douglas and Rebeca Andrade were underscored on the Amanar. Aly Raisman and Shawn Johnson are overscored. But the top 4 (Marony, Biles, Cheng, and Hong) are objectively the best Amanars ever done. As far as DYTs go, Jordan Chiles is underscored. I actually think hers is the best one visually. Kyla Ross appears slightly overscored. I would rank them: 1st Jordan Chiles, 2nd Gabby Douglas, 3rd Cheng Fei, and Kyla Ross 4th. Also, how come we don't get to see Double Twisting Tsukaharas? I wish more gymnasts did that vault.

[@gymnasticfan9148]

Gabby lacked height and distance, she was clearly deducted for it. In my opinion Shawn had one of the best forms in the air (no leg separation in the entry, pointed toes, can't se a crossed legs) but her block wasn't good and always underotated.

[@SabrinaVoineaSStolenMedal]

Gabby had no height and distance and suspect form. She was not underscored and that aa VAULT WHERE SHE TOOK 3 STEPS WAS HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

[@SabrinaVoineaSStolenMedal]

The judges loved the dynamic of Kyla's block. She had suspect form in the middle but they always gave her credit for that block.

Why doesn't Rebeca Andrade have a high execution score on her Amanar, considering her form is excellent?

[@gymnasticfan9148]

She didn't have much power (and had a 0.3 step in Varna EF). Now that she is phisically stronger (2021+), she only performed once in the Olympics final, but the landing wasn't good. If she performs next year, with a good landing, she can score 9.5+

Gabby gets deducted on her really poor technique overall, she has a huge shoulder angle and twists extremely early.

[@Qutey96]

No way in hell Aly and Shawn beat Gabby.....I now truly understand why Gabby walked away....

[@PhenixJoe]

Because they get way more height and distance than her. It’s not all about how tight you are in the air and the landing.

[@captainbryce1]

@@PhenixJoe I don't think that either Aly nor Shawn get more "height" than Gabby. Shawn gets more "distance" and has equally good form. But Gabby's looks higher to me. Shawn also has such an obvious execution deduction on the landing that it should amount to a bigger deduction than Gabby's lack of distance. As far as Aly Raisman goes, yes hers is slightly higher than Gabby's, but her form is way worse and deserves a higher deduction. It's the same reason why Aliya Mustafina is ranked so low on the DTY despite having good landings. They're basically doing exactly the same thing with their legs, only Aly is doing a more difficult vault. If anything Aly's leg form is even more egregious. Yet her execution score is higher than Mustafina for some reason. One of the problems I have with the height and distance rules is that they are so subjective that there is no standard for how high or how far a vault is supposed to be. I remember some years back (probably over 10 years ago) seeing lines painted on the floor where the gymnast got a deduction if they landed behind a certain line and a bonus if they cleared the second or third line. But they took that away for some reason. Yet it was a more transparent metric to use when judging distance. Similarly, a vertical yard stick with line marking the minimum required height would also be useful. As it stands now, it's all the judges "guessing" about how high or far someone landed with no actual measurement. They also should be more transparent about just how much of a deduction they are taking. Is it .05, .1, or more? At least with the landing rules, they came up with a clear way of distinguishing between a .1 step/hop and a .3 step/hop. But that was after Shawn Johnson competed. If she was being judged under this CoP, I believe her execution score would be lower than Gabby Douglas based on her landings.
