It has become common knowledge that the Gymnastics Queen Simone Biles is presently on a hiatus. However, this doesn’t mean she is not updated with the happenings in the gymnastics world. The 2023 regular season was in full swing this past week. As the tournament concluded, many artistic gymnasts came out as a victor with their flawless routines. But among the celebration, the scoring system has come under fire.
As the clips from the tournament are being posted, netizens are questioning the results and the scores being awarded.

Recently, LSU gymnast Haleigh Bryant created history by scoring three perfect 10s in one meet. As the video of the memorable feat went viral, netizens were quick to notice the minute flaws in her routine. This, in turn, sparked the debate on the judgment criteria.
Fans mentioned that while the routine was carried out well, the landing was sloppy, rendering the performance not deserving of a perfect 10.
