So much of the wonder of the exercise is really worth it

double somersault, fancy dance moves, a spectacular cracked a balancing act – the American gymnast Katelyn Ohashi captured with a breathtaking Exercise in the hearts of sports fans. Millions around the world have seen the Video of the performance from last weekend, for the Ohashi at a College Competition in the United States, the maximum score of 10.0.

The "perfect 10" is actually abolished, in 2007, it replaced the international gymnastics Federation by an upwardly open scale. Thus, any high scores are possible with the Best currently stands at over 16.0. The American higher education Association but maintained the taxi with a best brand, the competitions are to win this spectacle – because of the superlative lures. The appearance of Ohashi are the creators of the series right: The Internet, the 21-year-old from Seattle is celebrated for the Topnote.

"> A giant spectacle"

As the Jury Christine assumes the role of a servant Woman. The Appenzellerin is the best judge of the Switzerland and has seen fight countless international titles, including Olympic Games and world Championships. Thousands of Exercises she prized in her more than 40-year career.

For the tages-Anzeiger.ch/Newsnet you graded the freestyle of Katelyn Ohashi, and if you like, personally, the appearance, and you call this "a huge spectacle", their judgment is clear: According to the standards of the international gymnastics Federation (FIG) earned Ohashi not-too-high Note.

Christine Frauenknecht (57): For over 40 years, the Appenzellerin judge.

Specifically, you are American after calculation of the output value and the evaluation of the execution of a 12,600. Thus, Ohashi even missed a clear case of one EM the device final. Steingruber won her the Gold medal with 15,200 points.

The output value consists of the eight most difficult elements of an Exercise. In the case of Ohashi, he is 4.5. For comparison: Steingruber had come to the EM to 6.4, Biles at the Olympics, even to 6.8. Ohashis clearly the most difficult Element of a stretched double Salto from the beginning – a so-called F-parts. Of the Other four C flow parts-parts in the score, as well as three B -. In the last part of the freestyle Ohashi is a turn-on, especially repetitions of already shown Parts – none of them counts.

memories of Comaneci

woman servant indicates that the output value only due to compare: you did not classify the Exercise according to the scoring rules of the FIG, those of the U.S. higher education Association, the NCAA knows it.

Compare the execution can however. So a angewinkeltes leg, in gymnastics, in each case, the uncleanliness, and must be punished with deductions. But a "perfect 10" implies that there were no deductions. As of 1976, when Nadia Comaneci, the Romanian girl on the uneven bars for the first time in the history of the Olympic gymnastics competitions (but not as the first gymnast ever) received the highest grade. The Romanian was the Star of Montreal in 1976.

The sheet music of Christine, a woman servant with the drawings for the various elements shows that a Total of 11 errors, and 1.9 points deduction.

In the deductions the judges are merciless. Even for your best jumps Steingruber gets deducted, respectively, six, seven-tenths. In the floor exercise of Katelyn Ohashi woman servant looks no less than 11 errors. To do this, splayed legs, you would have to be closed. Or all-too-obvious in-between hop. Overall, a woman servant of the American deducts from the maximum of 10 points to 1.9. She says: "Katelyn is in many places dirty. How the judges can on a 10,0 come, not opens up to me."

Instead of a "perfect 10" in the performance of 8.1 points. Since the switch to the open-top based system output adds value and execution. 4,5 + 8,1 = 12,600. (Tages-Anzeiger.ch/Newsnet)
