Peng Peng Lee's Perfect 10 to clinch 2018 NCAA Championship for UCLA

[@theresultsphase]

You can definitely tell the haters on this thread don't know the sport is actually called "Artistic Gymnastics." This is the ncaa where the scores are focused on execution instead of difficulty. There's no way one could consistently land standing Arabians on beam or amanar vaults when the ncaa rules max your training hours at 20/week. This kind of gymnastics is about presentation and crowd participation in your floor routine (not just awkward clapping like in elite) and toe points/perfect handstands/stuck landings. Stop being lame and go find something more worthy of your negative energy🙄🤷🤦

[@floraleia]

"Presentation gymnastics" is a better name for it, I think. Or even "entertainment gymnastics". Personally, college level gymnastics is not for me, as I am more interested in difficulty, as I find it to be much more representative of their athletic skill, but I can understand why people prefer this level for its sheer entertainment value alone. I personally feel as if focusing on entertainment is a way to gloss over the fact that these athletes cannot compete with elite standards- which they shouldn't have to, it's their own way of doing gymnastics! I'm just frustrated that people find college level gymnastics to be so much 'better' than Olympic level, because athletically, it's objectively not. After all, it's... college level sports. You can enjoy it, you can have fun, but of course the Olympians are going to be better, because they're literally elites.

[@theresultsphase]

@@floraleia college and elite are different things. Also, the majority of those competing in college are retired elites and level 10 gymnasts. So this idea that they can't do the harder moves just just absurd. Most elite gymnasts train 40+ hours/week and compete maybe 5-7 times/year. The college season requires them to be full-time students/compete almost every week from january-april. No human being could take the kind of pounding that elite skills would take on their bodies if they had to train that much and compete that much. i enjoy both elite and college gym because they are different. I mean, i literally won't watch a joyless elite floor routine unless simone biles is doing it🤷 but i also hate to see so many gainer fulls off beam in college. It a mixed bag either way but gymanstics is my jam

[@OneidaGC]

@results u literally spelled out the difference in ur first comment, so 1st of all ty but 2nd of all how anyone could find it in themselves to still find a way to be negative is confusing/baffling

[@NatashaEstrada]

@@floraleia Well the reality is you are not going to be able to fill an entire college system coast to coast with athletes at the elite level so I appreciate the sport having a more artistic emphasis. College gymnastics is to elite what college football is to the NFL. It's just in gymnastics college isn't the feeder system into professional sports.

The confidence and support these young women show for each other is a testament to the kind of coaching they are recieving.

Practice, confidence and support will get the best out of anyone.

[@stonew1927]

I'm used to seeing the much more difficult Olympic caliber routines so it's hard for me to view this subjectively and give it a 10 when the Olympic athletes are doing way crazier skills. Still, I think some of those Olympic caliber athletes could stand to learn from Peng Peng's presentation skills. And that twirl at lightning speed on the beam was insane!!

[@inezmickel1274]

She is AMAZING

[@tianajoiner7852]

Stone W Good news: you don’t need to view it subjectively and give it a 10. The judges already did.

[@Taedjaire]

The fact is this is based on skill level. In world competitions these girls wouldn’t score anywhere as high as they would on the ncaa level because their is technically a performance gap between the two. The NCAA has lower standards but she’s just at the highest end of that standard.

I think college judges often give perfect 10 scores that are definitely not deserved, but this one was deserved 100%. Outstanding!

[@MrCph2200]

Exactly what I think too. It’s actually disappointing to watch that many routines that actually have one or more clear deductions get ten anyway. With the current level, THIS routine should be given more than 10. - 10,1-10.2 perhaps. - Not only are there nothing to deduct, but 1. she jumps higher than others in her backflip 2. and in her split jump 3 and her dismount lands so perfect so nobody is doubting that she’ll plant it.

[@carmenDS1234]

Those girls, the whole team is phenomenal! You can't help but love them!

[@colesmith7509]

This was the most pressure anyone could be under in sports. National championships, senior year, deciding routine of the meet, last routine of her career... the list of things adding to the pressure goes on and on. She legitimately had zero room for error and did a turn literally everyone else in the world struggles with. You will not find anyone who does a double turn often who doesn't often have balance checks. In elite, there's always a maybe when it comes to mistakes because E scores aren't consistent. With Peng Peng, she couldn't do literally anything wrong. Obviously NCAA is more lenient, but you will not get a judge to give you a 10 on beam at nationals with a slight wobble or step. I still do not understand how the hell she was able to pull this off.

[@Sunflower_vally]

Yeah, in this competitions their we're 6 judges, drop the highest and the lowest score from the judges and average the middle, that means she would've needed at least 5 judges to give her a 10

They're called 'Thomas flares' or 'Thomas-flair' (people spell it differently, dunno why). Named after the gymnast Kurt Thomas who performed it in international competition first. Performed (by men) both on pommel horse and on floor, and since Peng Peng also on the balance beam :D She also did it in elite gymnastics when she represented Canada on the international stage.

You can tell some of y'all just watched this video just to bash it.

She met the difficulty for COLLEGIATE STANDARDS which is why she got the perfect 10, if you like elite gymnastics then ok that's cool, but trying to downplay these young women's talents knowing damn well some of y'all can't even do a fraction of what y'all see, is not cool.

[@pkblade]

Well said...the majority of those comparing to elite routines don’t realise or understand in college they compete weekly and have at least 12+ meets in the season, and takes a toll on the body. So doubt a team of elites would all last a full season if they performed their elite routines without injuries or being sidelined.
