Six Must-See Routines from Week 6
There were four perfect 10's awarded in NCAA Gymnastics during week six of the 2014 gymnastics season and all four amazing moments were captured by Gymnastike! Along with the Ten's, there are a few routines so spectacular that just we can not let you move on to week seven without enjoying them.
#6 Kytra Hunter's PERFECT Vault
Florida's Kytra Hunter extended her perfect streak to three in row! After scoring 10's on floor in back-to-back meets, the 2012 NCAA Champion scored her first 10 on vault with a powerful yurchenko 1.5. Watch her perfect stuck vault and her team's priceless reaction here.
#5 Akash Modi's P Bars Punctuated with a Crazy Dismount
Akash Modi and his Stanford team rolled into the Metroplex Challenge on Friday night and snapped #1 Oklahoma's undefeated streak! Modi won the parallel bars with a steady routine and surprised us with a flashy dismount, a full twisting double back! Modi is currently the nation's #1 ranked all around gymnast and ranks 2nd on p bars. Watch Modi's difficult dismount here.
#4 Gracie Day's Breathtaking Bars
Gorgeous Gracie Day caught our eye for the second week in a row and won her second all around title in two weeks. Coming in at #4 is Gracie's bar routine from the Metroplex Challenge level 10 competition. Her routine stood apart with a rarely used uprise handstand, exquisite toe point, and a high flying Fontaine dismount right out of a cast handstand. See for yourself here.
#3 Katherine Grable's Exceptional Tumbling
Grable deserves recognition on this list for her first tumbling pass alone - a perfect double arabian half out. But then, she goes and blows us away with a second unique tumbling pass! It's quite the tongue twister - just watch it here!
#2 Haley Scaman's PERFECT Floor
In the final routine of the 2014 Metroplex Challenge, Sooner sophomore Haley Scaman sealed the deal for OU with a perfect 10.0 on floor. After coming oh-so-close to perfection the past two seasons, Scaman was finally awarded with her first perfect 10 and goes down in history as just the second Sooner gymnast to achieve a 10 on floor. What an incredible accomplishment! Watch Scaman's historic routine here.
#1 Lloimincia Hall's PERFECT Floor
Love it or hate it, Lloimincia Hall's floor routine is an absolute show stopper. The LSU junior commanded attention from the entire Metroplex Challenge arena and delighted her fans with the third perfect 10 of her career. In a moving moment, Hall broke down in tears after the amazing achievement. Watch Hall's perfect performance and reaction here.
