Ellie Black 🇨🇦 saw her front handspring layout 1/1 downgraded to a pike (a loss of six-tenths) both in qualifying and the vault final — a difference that would have changed the medals on Saturday.
Here the 10-time Canadian world team member discusses her frustrations and challenges with the situation and her plans to combat the issue in the future, including training a Rudi (front handspring 1.5).

@thegymterdotnet Do you know how many teams counted fall towards their team scores today? China counted 1 on UB, Canada counted 2 on BB, Brazil 1 on BB. Anyone else in the Top 8?
@courtyard_tapir There has only been one score from this entire subdivision come up on any event... I'm having the same issue. And not being able to watch UB is STRESSIN me !
@laurenhopkinsss I hope it doesn’t deter her from continuing! There is a lot of potential there. Everyone has to make mistakes to learn and improve. She can only go up from here!
