How many times did Hilary Mauro and Cassidy McComb do that vault with straight legs and a stuck landing and still never got a 10? Sorry but the judges should judge what they see. 

Mauro never did that vault with straight legs. I would say her bent legs were worse than Milliner's, and she didn't get nearly the height or distance. McComb's Y1.5 was very  nice, but I remember her getting a 9.975 last year, 10 from one judge when she moved her foot on the landing, so yeah, overscores happen everywhere. Ultimately though, scoring was different then. We've seen great vaults the last few years that did not get 10s - people like Tolnay, Hoffman, and Jackson (did she get a 10?) come to mind. This year though, the judges seem hell-bent on throwing out huge scores this year, which has spread to Perfect 10s as well. I typically never see a perfect 10 that I actually believe is deduction-free, so I can't get worked up about Milliner's, but judges should be judging what they see and taking into account visible deductions like bent knees. The high scores that we are seeing go up basically everywhere are inflated, and I'm hoping that the scoring is addressed at some point. I don't want to see undeserved 198s in March.
