Actually, in gymnastics (at least when I competed) it IS a deduction to touch any part of your uniform while performing. I don't care if you've got a wedgie up to your ears, you're gonna have to leave your bottom the way it is. I've performed with my lower half moderately exposed because my coach would have been ticked for me to get such a silly deduction, and I waited til I was off the floor to touch it. I've also known people to continue on with a theatrical performance even though they're exposed due to 'wardrobe malfunction.' People do it all the time, and in some cases I prefer it being avoided whenever possible. I get skirt adjusting if you're in the back and nobody's looking, but if you're constantly having to fix yourself, I consider it ridiculously distracting (ie- the TG 'ref/controversy' uni, where a major note of contention was the uni's constant need for pulling and tugging to be correct)..

And while this isn't gymnastics or theater, was there not a picture people commented on (I forget what thread it was a part of) where two athletes were noticed in the back where they looked like they were hanging out at the back of the mat instead of being focused on what was happening? Someone will remember this..I think it was the action photos thread? We had a good chuckle about it..

I take excessive uniform "fixing" or "picking" in mind when Im putting that transition execution/technique score in....
 
i like the new dance but i loved the FIRST dance. the girl in the center workkkked it out!
 
Good performance.

Advice for any Cali fans (and Cali people in general). The more near the top you are the more everyone will over analyze EVERYTHING you do. Like picking a wedgie. Then 1,000 people will focus on the wedgie instead of your routine and drive you nuts. Cause every single step we (Rays) take someone somewhere is over analyzing and finding ways its awful or we don't deserve it cause we did this or picked a wedgie.

Just let it go and ignore it.

Or don't :)
 
The girl fixing her uniform when she's not so much in "sight" with other things going on doesn't bother me as much as the girls with their arms not tight by their legs while transitioning to running tumbling. Specially the girls crossing center. I guess that's just the little things I pick up from a gym that focusses SO much on stuff like that. Again, I LOVE CALI, wish them nothing but the absolute best going into Worlds. Just something to add to their routine when going against somebody like Stingrays who are always clean.
 
she was probably really focused/nervous. she was in the zone when she threw that pass!
