Being a bit older for my level, I've seen a lot of little gymnasts get not so little scores. One in particular, was my old teammate, lets call her Danika. Danika was 9 to 10, but she looked like she was six. She was a good clean gymnast, but what ever she did was extremely small and not out done at all. Her jumps were small, her casts were small, her vaults had no block, yet the lowest score I've ever seen her get was an 8.5, while I was stuck with a score 2 tenths lower, while every one agreed with me that my routine was better. I'm not just being picky, I've seen this happen so many times. One time I even seen a little girl fall on her beam routine and still get a 9. And her routine was still not that great.
Gymnasts, have you ever seen this happen?
Parents, same with you.
Judges, have you ever given out pity points, just because a little girl seemed so cute?
