What an amazing story! Kayla qualified first on vault, beating the Olympic champion, and is the first reserve for floor. Pretty amazing for a girl who was a level 10 earlier this year!
She did front tumbling - the 1.5 through to double pike. Her split positions are also very VERY noticably NOT 180 degrees and her landings are dodgy. I can see why she got the score she did. I think it has great potential, though! That kid FLIES!
actually it's her side somi that she does right before her last pass that qualifies as her front somi element. the rules state, you need a front or side somi and that is why she tacks that side somi onto her routine
@GymCampos27 Because of the fact that alicia has more distance, and height off the horse than Kayla. She does it more explosive and has cleaner legs whereas kayla has a hint of untidy legs in her vault. I personally prefer Alicia's than Kayla's. Not saying hers is bad, just the overall performance :)
If she was in a later qualification round she would have qualified ahead of Bross into finals. Too bad really. Kayla is so awesome on floor and vault. Bravo to Marta for brining her to worlds!

kayla was only a level 10 last year! that is pretty amazing to go from being a level 10 one year to being a world champion on vault the next!
