OMGGGGGGGGGG. Like, everyone STUCK this compulsory COLD.

Strugs rules.

Her second vault was a Yurchenko arabian (Hristakieva), which she used as her 1st vault at 96 Nationals.
She also did it during the warmups for TF in Atlanta.
And I feel it's highly unlikely Kerri had a shot at the AA podium...but with all the mistakes that were made crazier things have happened!

I loved compulsories!
-
LOL I know Violet. let me clarify. Did Kerri also work on a Tsuk 1.5 as well as her 1.5 Yerchenko?
I remember reading that somewehere?

This is compulsories, so everyone was doing this vault. She did her 1.5 in the team final.
-
Wasn't Strug doing a 1.5 Tsuk at the time as well?
I think everyone knows what compulsories is.
Kerri didn't have a strong optional (2nd) vault is what the poster was saying (and that's true).
Amanar had an amazing double twisting Yurchenko, but her Phelps was a laugh. If she had a different colored leotard on, it would have scored in the 9.5's at best.

That vault was HUGE. One of the best in compulsories, no doubt.
I'm not sure she could have won event finals outright, as I'm not sure I've seen Kerri compete a second (different) vault since '93 or so - and it was a simple handspring front tuck.
