Mackenzie Brannon scored her second perfect 10 of the day. The score was actually a 10.1 due to the stick bonus. Mackenzie is a former Elite from Capital gymnastics and has signed with the University of Alabama

Who am I to wish that NCAA helps to clean up her form...Are you kidding, I'm a fan you know those people that make the sport exist. Welcome to the world of sports if you can't handle any critique you should not be in a judged sport to begin with. I don't care it this is level 10, elite or level 4 bent knees are bent knees period. Perparing for the landing well I guess every gymnast should now bend their knees in the last twist so they can prepapre for the landing....great idea. It's called a lack of rotation that's why the bent knees are happending so she can get it to her feet. Watch other gymnasts they don't do this. I could have been a lot harsher and if you look around the gymnastics world a lot of people are. I complemented her and said she's a cute little thing but I have followed her gymnastics and progress over the years and she does consistently have forms issues. It's an observation, I'm sure she's a fantastic kind and she is a great gymnast BUT she has form issues on a lot of her skills. It's an observation. NCAA does clean up tons of gymnasts with forms issues, partly because of the lower level of difficulty and party because of teh focus on basics again. Watch Kristen Maloney as an elite and then as a NCAA gymnast, hopefully you can see a difference.

You realize that her legs did bend the last entire half twist... That's not "preparing for the landing." Secondly, judges are trained to see those types of deductions, so if those deductions are present, it is the judges job to deduct. Great vault, but not a 10.0.

Now your comment about Mckenzie Wofford being superior, I don't even know where to start! I agree that Mckenzie Wofford is beautiful, every detail down to the toe point, but ok, lets analyze.

Wofford has 8 tenths in bonus and starts at a 10.0 since you canât start over a 10.0. Brannan has 7 tenths in bonus and also starts at a 10.0 since you canât start over a 10.0. âWhen you put McKenzie Wofford next to her and watch the two UB routines you can see just how superior Woffords bar routine was to hers. Skill wise and form wise.â Skill wise? One tenth of difference in difficulty and since this is NOT ELITE they both start from the same start value (10.0). Having more difficulty is not rewarded in level 10! This is not elite! If someone goes way over the 10.0 start, they still start from a 10.0! Form wise? I love Wofford, really I do. But she did bend her arms on her toe hetch and when she caught her yeager. I do think she deserved the 10.0 under the cirstances though (re read my first 2 paragraphs and youâll see what I mean). Now if a girl deserves a 10.0 and someone is slightly or even a lot better, guess what? They both get 10s! You canât score over a 10!
Both of them are gorgeous and extremely talented. If both girls are reading just know you have so many fans and that these people are just ridiculous! I rest my case, sorry for the vent.

@Gym4life You are ridiculous. First off, the judges judge IN PERSON. It is a lot different than watching a video. In the video you don't get to appreciate just how huge her vault was. The human eye can't see everything, especially when its in font of you and takes 2 seconds. She slightly bent her knees for the landing, you don't want her to land with locked knees do you? Third, this is from a different angle and side (the video)! Another thing, you people need to understand that this is a FUN meet! The "real" Alamo Classic is the day before. Gymnasts then qualify to finals. This is to showcase talent and for the gymnasts to enjoy themselves! It's not like these scores were at Nationals or something! The gymnasts can qualify for 1 or 2 events only and they almost go one at a time. It looks like a great experience.

"she has always had those form issues in her gymnastics. I think NCAA will clean up a lot of that for her hopefully." Ok hold on for a second! Always had form issues??? Every gymnast has "form issues" and deductions. That's why not everyone scores a 10 in execution! I mean even olympians could be said to have form issues! Even Aly raisman (don't get me wrong, I love her!) had flexed feet and slightly bent knees on bars and other events. Oh ok and you hope NCAA "cleans her up"? Um who are you to wish that of a girl you probably don't even know?

It was a nice vault and a great stick but yes her knees are totally bent in the last 1/2 twist. She is such a tiny cute little thing but she has always had those form issues in her gymnastics. I think NCAA will clean up a lot of that for her hopefully. When you put McKenzie Wofford next to her and watch the two UB routines you can see just how superior Woffords bar routine was to hers. Skill wise and form wise. It is nice to see some 10.0's but yes the judges should save them for true perfection.

should a 10 be thought as perfect? Why are some meets scored on a base 10 and Olympic level meets on a 20? (I guess scores of 16 & 17s are based off 20.)

what? 4 months ago

although that was a GREAT vault, she bent her knees the whole last half of the vault. Judges in JO are going hog wild with these 10s. she is a lovely gymnast though.

Beautiful vault. Definitely agree with Sarah on the bent knees at the end, but beautiful nonetheless.

How can that be a 10 when her knees bent?? These scores are crazy-ridiculous!
