D: 6.5

E: 9.6

Score: 16.1

 Are you kidding me? Seriously? I love her. Shes rediculous. I cant belive thats her NEW vault, shes competing that like a freaking pro.

Well she really is a PRO these days after giving up her NCAA eligibility. hehehe. The vault itself had a few issues: lacked dynamics in general, slight misalignment/early twisting on the block, slight leg form in the air, and slight shuffle of the feet. Being lenient with those deductions (taking the smallest for each) I’d get a 9.5 E score. It’s possible the judges didn’t take off for dynamics (height and/or distance) because of the fantastic landing or they may not have seen the leg separation from the side or they may not have seen the early twisting on the block. Either way 9.6 really isn’t that much of a stretch for this vault.
