@darthmira they were wisely saving her for the beam! ; )

In the EF you need a higher amount of difficulty, there was no point in her doing an easier vault even if she had stuck it.

@darthmira She threw this vault since she scored higher on this than the Yurchenko 1.5. Look at the way she landed this first vault in the AA, a certain step to the side and still got a 9.687. On her 2nd vault in the team she landed the yurchenko 1.5 with the same landingand got only a 9.637. Her form and execution on this vault was so much better than the 1.5 it was higher scoring for her. I would have had her do the 1.5 instead of the Phelps though, the Phelps was not a strong vault.

Shannon's best vault ever in her career.

There was no point of her doing vault if she wasn't going to go for it. This leads me to believe Miller was a lot more injured then Nunno led on.

I agree. There was no point leaving out the yurchenko 1 and a half if she were really going for a medal. She had two 10 vaults, she should have done them.
