Canada's Ellie Black frustrated with the judging of her vaults at world championships

It's hard when you feel like you're doing a layout position, but for some reason they're giving you a pike. It really depends on whether the judges think there was any piking in her body. To our eyes, it looks quite laid out. But is it laid out enough? I was really happy with my performance. I think I delivered two really nice vaults. I was frustrated for sure with the downgrade of the front full. That's been frustrating all week for me. I've been trying super hard. like it's so close and yeah it's frustrating to have that downgraded especially when the positions across all the different vaulting they're not scored the same way. Well actually I was like looking online literally yesterday at my vaults from the Olympics and my vault I think today and from all around yesterday were better than the ones at the Olympics and that counted as a layout but they have changed a little bit of how they're judging the layouts in this code and I know that they're using the Fujitsu to measure the angle and the angle of the hips. To me it's a little bit backwards in the sense of it should be a layout and you should be taking a deduction for form because I don't think that's a pike. It's definitely frustrating as an athlete going through that because there's not a lot of athletes in the world doing that vault. It is so hard, it's so hard to do really well, but if you do a one and a half you can pike. So it's just it's frustrating and I feel like it's limiting to the Yeah.
