Olympic star McKayla Maroney got the green light to compete in all four events at the world gymnastics championships, where she got some serious air.

Estimates her entire body 2.75m (over 9ft) above the ground.

FIG wants better, fairer judging. Why don’t they factor in this kind ofobjective criteria into the score?

Vault would be the best first apparatus to measure height, distance and time of flight. Height of gymnasts could be included.
