Brenna Dowell's Uneven Bars

Expected World national team member Brenna Dowell put down a really massive D-score at day one of the US nationals. Brenna's D-score was 6.7, which is puts her up there with the likes of Becca Downie, Yao Jinnan and Shang Chunsong. I would add Aliya Mustafina to that mix but she hasn't performed her 6.7 set since last year's worlds.

Brenna's form is not up to par with the likes of Locklear or the Chinese and Russian gymnasts but her D-score allows her to score a competitive number. The judges will definitely take note of the high risk and uniqueness of her combinations. I particularly like the release into the Ezhova transition to the low bar. It brings me back memories of Beth Tweddle's massively competitive uneven bars routine from London.

The judges credited her with a 6.7 D-score and a generous 8.7 E-score for a total of 15.40. While the judges were generous she is sure to receive at least 15 points at an international event. Does this mean that Marta is for sure going to take Brenna to Worlds?

Below is the video of her routine, do you guys spot the deductions? There were plenty to spot.
