I think that's an advantage for UCLA.
We will start on what was, two days ago in the semi-finals our weakest rotation, vault. (After the injury to her teammate, Jordan Chiles chose to perform a more conservative (safer) vault, not as complex (difficult but higher scoring) one - perhaps she'll feel more confident today.)
After vault the exercises become more and more friendly to UCLA's scoring chances. 2nd rotation we move to the uneven bars; third comes balance beam which lifted us over the competition Thursday; and on the fourth and final rotation we get floor exercise and we lead the nation in scoring on floor.
The opportunities are there; we just have to take full advantage of them. It comes down completely to who preforms their best today and three of the four programs are true elite programs in every sense of the word: Oklahoma, Utah and UCLA. Competition begins in less than an hour from now
