Melanie Banville: 4 Videos

2006_03_17: Auburn:
floor: Melanie Banville: 9.700:

Melanie Banville -- Ironically, Mel hit the two most difficult passes of her routine without a problem: pike full in to open, double pike to close. She had trouble on the second pass when she was throwing the third element: front-front full-front layout; she had to power up the third element and ended up with a major split in her legs during the front salto and her hips were behind her as well close to the landing. However, she did stand it up and avoided a fall with quick thinking mid-air. 9.700

2006_03_17: Auburn:
beam: Melanie Banville: 9.825:

Melanie Banville -- She is getting more confident with this routine each week. Handstand mount to back body roll to handstand to step-out; split full jump (slight check); bhs to layout step-out; full turn; a super punch front (chest high landing, no steps); switch leap; straddle-straddle jump combination; round off to double twist dismount, excellent landing. 9.825

2006_03_17: Auburn:
bars: Melanie Banville: 9.825:

Melanie Banville -- Toe-on toe-off to full turn to Tkatchev to straddle back to handstand on the low bar to toe-shoot to high bar to giant, giant to double layout dismount, stuck it again this week. Main deduction likely came on the straddle back not reaching perfect vertical position. 9.825

2006_03_17: Auburn:
vault: Melanie Banville: 9.850:

Melanie Banville -- Yurchenko 1/1 Definitely one of her best efforts of the year, more powerful twisting and push off the table. A little more amplitude and distance will yield the 9.90 plus score on this event. 9.850
