Parker had a few rough landings on floor, but her first pass was lovely. She did really well on vault too, scoring a new career high. I hope she focuses on those "wins" rather than the horror of beam :)markeyisapunknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890625336346715414.post-9651738426715196862015-01-10T15:16:28.002-08:002015-01-10T15:16:28.002-08:00Makes total sense.

What a tough way to end the meet for Parker, and she'd looked so solid on floor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890625336346715414.post-27086496189902718412015-01-10T15:11:32.593-08:002015-01-10T15:11:32.593-08:00Parker looked crushed by that beam performance. S...Parker looked crushed by that beam performance. She is a volatile gymnast, and they have been working to build her confidence. She is training on all 4 events, and Michigan needs her on at least two of them. I'm guessing Bev didn't think it would be helpful for either Brooke or the team to see how many more falls she could count before finishing the routine. She/they don't need to be thinking about that the next time Parker competes on vault or floor. Plus, as BB mentioned, there was the risk of injury to consider. Brooke looked pretty distraught, and seemed to be spiraling down. I'm glad Bev put a stop to that.markeyisapunknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890625336346715414.post-48058529824708228132015-01-10T15:00:13.846-08:002015-01-10T15:00:13.846-08:00I think it was just because she already had three ...I think it was just because she already had three falls.

Michigan's lack of depth on beam is always a worry, but I like the vibe I get from this beam team. at least two competitors smiling (Talia and Brianna) during their routines is a good sign.<br /><br />PS to male UGA commentator -- it's a BEAM, not a bar. Four-year-olds know that!!
