Sometimes athletes choke or have a bad day.
And when this occurs in a judged performance they should be scored appropriately for those errors. By saying she was excellent in the preliminary rounds, are you suggesting that her performance there should be considered on future rounds?
See the other comment (I should have put them in one). The point was, she is an amazing athlete who did a much more difficult routine than the others. Just because the media claims something is out of bounds, doesn’t mean it was or the judges saw it. She also may have been given more points for the level of difficulty versus doing safe routines like many of her competitors.
All of this arm chair quarterbacking and assuming the worst in everything gets pretty old.
