Gymnastics Comes From Behind To Beat Auburn

[4Q Basket Case]

Gymnastics fell behind the Barn by .225 on the first rotation (a material deficit), and treaded water on the second.

Then crushed the Beam to cut it to half a tenth, followed by 5 massive routines on the Floor.

Then Suni Lee got a 10 on the barn’s last beam routine.

Brought up Luisa Blanco on the floor for meet’s last routine needing 9.825 to tie, 9.85 to win.

She scored a 9.95.

Coleman was electric the whole night, and otherworldly in the last rotation.

Best meet I’ve ever seen. What a night for the ladies!

And Suni Lee scored two 10s in this meet. It was a season high for Auburn in total points and they still lost. Shows how well the ladies closed them out.

The order of apparatus is different from what you might be used to seeing in international / Olympic competition. The first two rotations are Vault and Bars. One team does one while the other team does the other. Then they flip-flop.

Second two rotations are Beam and Floor, and it works the same way.

We trailed by about .2 after both had done the Vault and Bars. That’s a material deficit. But we won by .15. So we outscored the barn on Beam and Floor by roughly .35.

That’s a serious comeback.

The Beam performance was as gutty as any I’ve seen in any sport — we absolutely had to crush it to have any chance at all…and we did. Then, trailing by half a tenth going into the last rotation, we were emotionally elevated because we knew we had a good chance.

The team was laser focused, and Coleman was rocking. I’d have to check again to be sure, but I think out of the last 12 routines (6 on the Beam and 6 on the Floor), our lowest score was 9.8 — talk about delivering your best in the clutch.

When Luisa finished on the Floor (the meet’s last routine), we didn’t know her score immediately. But we knew it was better than 9.825, and we had won. She actually got a 10 from one judge and slightly less from the other — 9.90 or 9.95, I’m not sure which.

So proud for them.

I know how it works. Not disagreeing with you.
