Scoring Brooklyn Moors’s BREATHTAKING “Succession” floor routine (UCLA @ Minnesota • CoP 2022-24)

The 2017 winner of the Longines Prize for Elegance, Brooklyn Moors is one of the most artistic performers in women's artistic gymnastics today. She combines brilliant, engaged choreography with super strong front tumbling, making her a common site in floor finals—she qualified to the final three years in a row at World Championships (2017-19)! Now, Brooklyn is competing at UCLA, and she recently made her NCAA/college gymnastics debut in a tri-meet against Iowa and Minnesota on MLK Day. See how her breathtaking floor exercise to the soundtracks of "The Godfather" and "Succession" would be scored in Olympic competition, complete with difficulty score (D score) and execution score (E score). In making comparisons across elite gymnastics and NCAA gymnastics, one needs to recognize that the scoring is different, and therefore, routines are constructed differently. In Brooklyn's case, she's constructed a routine that's pretty strong under both codes: she fulfills every composition requirement thanks to her leap series and back layout. However, this routine hasn't been designed to maximize her score under the 2022-24 CoP, so take the resulting score with a grain of salt (it's still a really strong number!). Notes: Leg separation on the Double Front (E) was a deduction of 0.3 because it was wider than shoulder with. The camera angle wasn't super good, but I'm pretty confident that 0.3 was the right deduction here. It was a really strong, satisfying landing, but it was not a stick. I didn't see any deductions on her L Turn (B); it seemed quite well controlled. On her Switch Split 1/2 (C), I took off a tenth in body shape because her front foot is not pointed and her hips are not entirely square. It goes straight into a Wolf Jump 1/1 (B) (no combination bonus), which I thought was rotated well enough to be credited but lost a bit for precision—it helps that her Switch Split 1/2 was clearly rotated to a half, so one could tell how rotated the Wolf Jump 1/1 was. Her layouts pass was pretty strong—bent knees on the Layout 1/1 (arguably not deserved), and then flexed feet and pike down on the Layout 1/2 (it was a bit low). Her last jump seemed like a half-attempted stag-ring jump (B), but there's no way that a D panel would've credited it? Her back didn't arch and her back foot did not reach head height. I counted it as a plain stag jump (A) and took off one tenth for her bent knee, which I think was the most ideal scoring scenario for her. I can imagine E judges also interpreting it as an attempted stag-ring with a much larger deduction for form. I do not believe that her dismount earns a 0.2 bonus—the Code says that the highest rated element in a series would count as the dismount, which is C. (Correct me if I'm wrong!) Artistically, Brooklyn remains strong—her choreography is an example for the rest of the world. I didn't see any artistic deductions. It seems like the UCLA coaching staff needs to change something. There are so many talented athletes on the UCLA Gymnastics team—Brooklyn Moors, Jordan Chiles, Margzetta Frazier, Emma Malabuyo, Chae Campbell, Norah Flatley, and Ana Padarariu, for starters—but the team seems inconsistent? I'm hoping they can get their feet under them and go through the season successfully.

I had to distort the music of "Succession" in the middle of the routine to avoid getting copyright blocked; it's only a small interruption.
