I was planning to post a great L8 meet report today and instead I need to vent. The scoring in gymnastics is just ridiculous! My DD did not have a spectacular meet but what sucks is her team mate ( who I love her and her mom) scored higher than her and mostly performed level 7 skills!
Explanation: team mate vault half on half off score 8.525 (4th place)
DD vault tuck tsuk 8.7 (3rd place) really can those 2 vaults even compare in difficulty?
team mate bars was a very weak L7 routine, does not even come close to any hand stands, no giants, no release and she scored a 7.7! Another team mate did full level 8 including straddle back (whole routine was sloppy and she did fall) but she scored a 7.4! How can this be fair?
My DD had no falls on bars, not a high enough cast, straddle back, giants, layout flyaway and scored 8.1
The team mate has a beautiful floor and scored a 9.225, my DD was average with a really low tumbling pass 8.65. This one was pretty fair. Beam was relatively fair too.
This is only the team mates 2nd L8 meet this year, she is always injured. Both times she beat my DD in the AA. My biggest complaint in bars and vault. I did video all our girls but I won't post for privacy.
I am just appalled that the weak level 7 routine can score a 7.7!
