These rules make me want to retire

[sirvirgo]

With the rules constantly changing, former gymnast kind of played a different dialect of the sport if that makes sense 🤔

[bub]

Yeah the changes are actually stupid. Some skills are unnecessarily downgraded (i.e. Sohn) and changes such as shorter floor routine times and reduced skill maximums per routine are actually ludicrous.

The scale is kinda like when we (women) had to do an element touching/laying on the beam. It interrupted the flow.

[keabetswemogase]

They must let male gymnasts use music for their floor routines. We’d get some interesting song choices there

[MissyDcherrydaisypie]

You can do this !! I know it seems daunting but you have so much support . ❤❤❤❤

[quinnflips]

The scale just gives everyone a ten second break tbh
Bc it’s only 8 skills and the time limit is still similar to the routines with 10 skills

[Floatie]

That particular scale is so silly 😂😂😂 they need to take it out of the COP 😅

[MoTheGymnastYT]

this is why a part of me hates gymnastics. so sad 😞

[racheluhlig]

I missed that there was a time when the scale wasn't required. 😂 and now the dreaded skill is back! Good luck lads!

[jimf]

As a fan, I'm a huge fan of bringing back the mandatory scale (balance on one leg) from when I started watching in the 90s. No one will probably compete the back scale like you had in the video, but that you're even getting close to doing it is impressive. Having only 8 skills could mean less variety though.

[poosheen]

The scale had me wheezing! 😆
I believe in you!




Edit: TYSM FOR 100!!! 😱
Edit: OMG THANKS FOR 200!!!

As someone who couldn't do a front handspring to save his life I feel personally affronted by the banning of the tinsica.

[AmberFerrariGirl]

There would be me doing an arabesque as the easiest scale skill possible lmao 👀😂😂
Seriously though... downgrading all vaults by 0.4 difficulty is like punishing everyone because 1 or 2 in the world have superpowers and have 7.0 start values - most mere mortals can still only do the same ones as before!

[NelliPogosyan]

Same here, except I do Rhythmic Gymnastics. They made the rules so like annoying.

[jessicanipp]

No retiring u til after LA28 please!!!

[petraokchek]

You haven't seen rhythmic gym rules change...
Oh lord, they came straight from hell...
Firstly we have less prices, less skills, lots of skills band and the last thing...
Skills have to be placed in the chromatic order omg...

[rissap]

Any skill Americans do better is either downgraded or all together disqualified .

[sapphire_stelliana]

Rhythmic gymnastics, also internationally governed by the FIG, will too experience this kind of stupid changes🤦🏻‍♀️

[Alive_Pancake]

Yall i cant tell is he joking in some of these videos anymore especially the last one that looked so dumb 😭

[McLarenSennaLover]

The judges always gotta ruin it for us am I right?
