Lowest Score ever?!

[MaggiesRanda]

Although i dont compete, I agree with Rainee, everyone has off days and no body is perfect, honestly I think parents (and some coaches) put too much pressure on the kids to be perfect and get those amazing scores and they shouldnt be brought down because they got a super low score. Yeah, the low scores will suck but you have to learn from then and set goals to get better and improve. Its the same with other sports, I play soccer and occasioanlly i will have a horrible game where i am totaly off but that doesnt mean i shouldnt be at the varsity level it just means i wasnt on it. Like i said before there is too much pressure on us kids these days from the adults in our lives and for the girls that compete, when you get low scores you need to learn from it and grow as a gymanst, and some parents need to accept the fact that their kid didnt do so hot, and not blame the coaches because they dont HAVE to teach them, they WANT to and they put in just as much time and effort as you do.

i think kids are being pressured to do well in their meets but at least there are some really great coaches out there that cam coach competitive and rec gymnastics well

I never did any *real* meets, all ours were practice meets and I swear even if you fell you never got below a 7.5 or something LOL... I may have gotten a couple 7s at my last (and only) meet at level 5. I don't remember it's been so long!

Lowest score was 2.36 on beam (I sucked on beam...and still do) My lowest score got me first...sad isn't it?

Hey! Mine was 5.50 on bars in Level 4! I fell on the front hip, shoot through, and mill circle! But then I got high 8s and 9s on the other events so it made up for it!

I don't really remember my lowest score... I think it was in the 6's. But one guy on my team got a 2.4 on pommel horse

In the Uk it is not unusual to get really low scores especially on bars and beam. I have seen many scores below 3 on bars usually caused by gymnasts missing/ skills which leaves them with less than the required number of skills. This can lead to a 'short routine' deduction (plus all the falls deductions)- I think the b score is then marked out of something like 6. I saw someone fall off beam 6 times last week (she was laughing by the end) That is a 4.8 deduction isn't it straight off. (6 marks deduction next year) Anyone can have a terrible day and do that. Perhaps the deductions are different in USAG - I know scores are out of 10 not a and b scored like here. The scores on youtube certainly vary hugely for USAG routines that look similar to me.

I got a 4.3 on bars at my first meet of level 8 I flew over the bar on my shootover (didn't even touch it) and peeled jumping to high bar. It was a beautiful routine
