DG nailed hers too.  If Florida can get B2B perfect 10s, Drew and DG should have as well.

Totally agree she was robbed

That was AT LEAST a 9.925

[AUBwins 10,075]

9.975 for DG!  They must have given minor deduction on first pass step. Great score though. 

[AUBwins 10,075]

Our exhibitionists did fantastic tonight. 

[blakem 296]

I’d like for coach Graba to get an inquiry into Drew’s score. I can see there being a couple very minor deductions, but a 9.825 is ridiculous.

[AUBwins 10,075]

Auburn dominated the home opener with almost a 2 point margin of victory.  197.350 score tonight to 195.575.  Keep those 197s and build to that 198!

Yes it was absurd.  Worth asking about because that could keep her from qualifying for nationals.

I'm not gonna pretend to know anything about Gymnastics but even the announcers thought she would break her record of 9.9. I was shocked it was so low.

Back to back 197s is impressive this early.

I also want to comment and say I was EXTREMELY impressed with Ananda Brown’s floor routine in exhibition. I could see her cracking the lineup often if she performs like that consistently.

I think Sophia Groth (4-star signee & Freshman) is performing at a high level! She is outstanding!

I was saying she is not getting the pub but has been amazing.

Sophia has been a great addition to the team. I look forward to seeing Ananda in the floor rotation. She did really well. 

I really would like to see Derrian get a 10 on floor soon.

I know she looked extremely disappointed and ticked at herself after. I hope she realizes we all love her regardless. She family now.

Should have had it tonight. 

[AUBwins 10,075]

Piper did well on both of her routines.  She had an infectious smile as well.

Exactly. Beam can be just brutal. Simone fell off beam all the time during trials, etc. If it helps the adjustment process, maybe she should focus on bars and even floor for a while.

Looks like FR. Sara Hubbard is related to Gary Hall, Jr.:

Apparently, the whole UCLA situation is a huge mess now (and can’t be ignored any longer). Some UCLA Gymnasts even publicly demanding that their HC should be fired. Gymnast Alexis Jeffrey recently transferred to LSU.

Jeffrey recently transferred from UCLA after tension grew between her and the team after she allegedly used racial slurs towards both Black and Asian people.

I am wondering if UCLA might lose some recruits now. Specifically, 5-star and Team USA member Ciena Alipio who is close with Suni. Both trained together during the pandemic in Minnesota. Ciena would be a huge addition to our team.
