Looking at the scores (and thanks for posting them!) I would say she probably had a fall on bars (her dismount, probably) and a fall on beam too. She is usually much stronger. I think one of the difficulties for her on bars may be the fact that she has had to adjust doing bars with grips since she moved to David. Prior to the move, all her bar work (and Charlotte's) was done without grips. Learning to use grips at this point in her career can be a challenge at times, and being this was her first nationals since the move, she was probably nervous from the fact her previous coach is now the Canadian Head Coach and would have been watching her closely ... he did the same to LA when she went back to David. It's his way of putting extra pressure and intimidation on the girls. UGH
