The video of Rebeca Andrade yielded several highly emotional responses from fans.?
Most of them were in awe of the perfection of the execution shown by the Brazilian. Moreover, fans even demanded to know why she wasn?t given a 10.
😳 This is SO GOOD!
Can someone please tell me where the 0.267 in deductions are because I can’t find them!!
IMO, this should be a 10.0 in execution. No question. The fact that it isn’t is a problem that needs to be addressed in gymnastics judging.
