I think that´s the best Jaycie's Beam routine.She deserves to be a magnificent seven!!!

She is amazing and I love the name Jaycie.

im glad everyone noticed her split leap and even her (3/4?) twisting bhs. did no one notice how weak this exersize was? this would be killed in the new code...

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

I find it really strange but has anybody else noticed that every American bent their second leg on back layouts? Miller did it, Jaycie did it, strug did it, the only one I can think of who didn't do it was moceanu.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

[willsbob123]

Her split leap was shocking.

[tide32athlete]

@willsbob123 She normally didn't do it like that. She was just off with her timing during this whole routine. The switch leap certainly was not her best. Way funky.

crap, i accidently rated 1.0 on this vid!! it was an accident!

[metsdudenj]

A 9.6 was high for this rouitne, given she missed the wolf jump combination and fell out of the handstand and bobbled. Thast was a .3 deduction and the dismount was a .2 deduction, Ihad this routine at 9.5

@metsdudenj I think even the judges wanted usa for the win. i do agree with you though.

[metsdudenj]

@08dressageGal I would say the US was underscored on the bars. THey were head and shoulders above the ROM and RUS and still had lower scores. In vault and floor they were not overscored either.

[benrobinson77]

@metsdudenj and her form on the layout series was not the best

[kittycatsrule86]

lol thats my last name

She's a coach at my gym. It's so cool to see her when she was younger at the olympics. And it's cool to be able to say "i see Jaycie Phelps at practice."

[estevan82]

wow scary dismount ....at least she didnt fall on it like she did at trials

[adventuregirl76]

kinda shaky but at least she stayed on. She had good form.

It's a shame we never see anyone perform 4 elements in one tumble pass anymore.
