I think they let a few errors go on beam because of her difficulty. For college her difficulty is higher than most others that get 10s. A front flip and double back on beam are VERY rare in college.
It’s so refreshing to see her smile while performing. Some of these routines had obvious mistakes, but that doesn’t take away how genuinely happy she looks
She deserves this, not the unnecessary perfect score, she is not even looking at the scores. After all she went through, she is finally enjoying what she loves, and the right people are cheering for her now. She's a brilliant gymnast and she is having fun with it. I'm happy for her.
Always liked Maggie and have commented before that some of her 10s may have been generous but after watching Athlete A on Netflix I have more respect from her than ever. USA gymnastics did her dirty and I'm happy for her that she had the NCAA career that she had. Deserves every single 10.
@D Leo I assumed it was due to her injury but there were things mentioned in the doc that no one probably knew. Steve Penny made it very clear she had no chance.
@@ccaruso0404 both can be true (USAG being shitty to her, and her not deserving a spot) at the same time. I know she got injured at a training camp so I wouldn't be surprised if Marta pushed her too hard on purpose, but given her injury and difficulty level at the time of trials she didn't deserve a spot. I know people shit on Gabby for making it over her but Gabby's strongest event was bars which was Maggies weakest, if anything Laurie 'took' her spot.
@@bethanymclean2136 if you watch Athlete A, you'll see that even with her injury Maggie still placed 6th all around at the Olympic trials to decide the team. She didn't even get an alternate spot. USAG did her dirty, at the least she earned an alternate spot.
@@21StephieD Yes I'm aware of that, and if USAG could've only sent one alternate it should've been Maggie. But they sent 3. Ashton didn't do the all around but outscored Maggie on bars, which is where they would've used her(Ashton) and Mykayla Skinner and Ragan Smith both beat Maggie in the AA. They definitely treated her poorly, I'm not denying that but unfortunately due to her injury a few months prior she wouldn't have contributed to that team.
Just got finished watching the Netflix documentary and I’m just here to say that I’m glad this girl didn’t give up on gymnastics completely and has bounced back nicely from all that.
By passing out 10s to OU, the judges are doing a disservice to all the NCAA gymnasts, including the Sooners. Maggie is one of the best and her gymnastics can speak for itself. The inflated scores take away the focus from their amazing skills.
8:04 the routine that starts here. I saw at least 3 wobbles, 9.9 maximum. Even the commentators said "there's not gonna be a perfect score this time" The overscoring is ridiculous
@@Aelishaela This is so unbelievably false. They don’t give leeway, the scoring just sucks lmao, ESPECIALLY for OU. Also, both her and Kyla got a few 10’s in their freshman season. Maggie is amazing, and deserved an amazing college career, but her having the same amount of 10’s as Kyla is criminal.
I'm not even going to bother saying that some of these weren't a 10. I love Maggie and I know it's not her fault for being overscored, but sometimes I just can't with all the 10's. Think how robbed Kyla Boss was.
I was kinda accepting the non-perfect routines getting the perfect 10s until that beam routine on Michigan meet. That wasn’t even 9.95 worthy!!! Love Maggie and her journey on NCAA was fabulous, but let’s be honest...
@@delbrown4143 he’s right there was at least three balance checks in that routine the commentators knew it too. It was rediculosuly over scored should’ve been in the 9.8s
the way that she was so overscored on almost half of these and Kyla was so underscored for ALL of her senior year and they still have the same number of 10's.
Beautiful! She is a wonderful athlete and Simone is too. We are lucky to see what they do. USAG can suck it....okay that was a bit much but ya the win at all costs thing is such bullshit when they did not protect athletes how they are supposed to. How can you demand someone's all and not care for the whole person. USAG should also sponsor counseling for athletes. Emotional health is a huge part of it. I would rather have healthy and happy athletes over a bazillion gold medals any day. I am proud of of our athletes. I am glad Simone Biles advocated for herself and other athletes. I admire her as a person as an athlete. She taught us all something!!
I loved pre NCAA Maggie Nichols. When her gymnastics wasn't overhyped, and she got the scores she deserved. Kyla Ross was absolutely robbed, and the comparison between the two is an insult to Kyla. Sorry.
Maggie Nichols is an amazing gymnastic and a lovely person. She deserves every 10 she received, because that’s the way the judges scored on that particular day. Learn more about Maggie’s triumph over adversity in the Netflix film “Athlete A.” (Streaming on Netflix since late June 2020.)

She deserves an Olympique moment
She deserved so much more than that and USAG failed her.

I'm here because of Athlete A. I never would have known who Maggie was if I hadn't watched that
Netflix did something right

Look out for Maggie Nichols makes her Perfect 10!

Such an incredible athlete!👏🏼
Her salute was my favorite. Still is. It was so elegant.

She was in college when performing these and so they add a bit of leeway for the older gymnasts as its rare for them to get a 10.
@@Aelishaela not that rare anymore

Agree. Trinity was robbed so much her freshman year compared to maggie as well. It doesn’t take away from how phenomenal of a gymnast Maggie is
I love those Oklahoma leos, metallic red always looks great!
What editing software do you use? Loved the video ❤️

You're an idiot.

happy for her
does the NCAA COP even have form deductions?
She got a 10 on the first vault? With a step on the landing???????
and kyla gets a 9 975????? With a perfect vault??????
alternative title: ou leotards getting worse as the year passed by
She has never had a 10 worthy beam routine. She consistently has bent legs and flexed feet
Let me see your beam routine since you are the expert.
how many tens is it?
the way that she was so overscored on almost half of these and Kyla was so underscored for ALL of her senior year and they still have the same number of 10's.
I came here to say this, and thought I would be the only one. It’s sucks, because Kyla should have the NCAA record for 10’s but doesn’t.
Beautiful! She is a wonderful athlete and Simone is too. We are lucky to see what they do.

This is not a hate commentary, im just not used to NCAA cop. There isn’t a deduction for the steps on landings on floor?
No the step is allowed c: called a college stick, but obvs still needs to be controlled and stuff!
I loved pre NCAA Maggie Nichols. When her gymnastics wasn't overhyped, and she got the scores she deserved. Kyla Ross was absolutely robbed, and the comparison between the two is an insult to Kyla. Sorry.
No need for the sorry! I totes agree especially in that UCLA V. OKLAHOMA meet, the Bruins were totes underscored.
She Blackballed from the Olympics she was clearly the second best gymnast in the world in 2014
Yeah but the Olympics aren’t in 2014.
Way overscored.

OK but the reason she didn’t make the team is because she told.
