Anonymous asked: Can you help me understand Gabby's bar routine from Secret cup? I get confuse about the first part of her routine. I don't understand the connection points.

I prefer to call it classic cup.

I wish she would take some skills out. She can get deducted for doing some of the unnecessary skills. I’m thinking she does them to add momentum instead of incurring empty swings and extra giants.These are the skills and connections she is getting credit for. I omitted the skills that do not add any value to her D-score.

Healy + Endo elgrip 1/2 + Piked tkatchev (E+D+E) 0.3CV

Inbar 1/1 + Tkatchev + Pak (E+D+D) 0.3

Inbar (D)

Double Layout (D)

3.5 + 0.6CV = 4.1 + 2.5CR = 6.6 D-score.

I love Douglas on bars and she is the best American on this event. I hope that I helped you. I have to post her bar routine :) <3

Anonymous asked: Since you're Canadian I was wondering what was Shallon Olsen's vault? She got 6.8D Vault for a 15.900!

LOL I didn’t even know who Olsen was until I youtubed her. She does a DTY. I think she got bonus points for doing a hard vault. How old is she? Like 11? Doing a DTY is hard for a junior. Most countries has bonus points and I think in Canada they gave her a full point in D-score. It’s worth the full point for junior gymnasts. Even the seniors can hardly do DTY’s.

Anonymous asked: I just want to say that the stalder shaposh 1/2 (that you said isn't credited to any gymnast) is now the Yao Jinnan. She competed it in Zibo Cup and it's now officially the Yao transition (or however they call it) :)

I heard about this already but I’m not sure if it’s true. Do you have a link of the FIG officially naming it the Yao? I’m kind of lazy to look things up right now.

I remember Yao’s coach saying Yao got it named after her but that was all I heard.  I have to hear it from FIG sources. In a way it doesn’t matter though because Yao is great.
