During one of the team’s first preseason practices, Georgia head coach Courtney Kupets Carter designed a group activity with floor routines on a soft surface.
She implemented a point system where a gymnast would receive one point to do the exercise as instructed and a bonus point if the drill was attempted on a hard surface. Rachael Lukacs wanted to take things a step further and built upon a double pike to earn a third point.
“If I do a double layout with my legs together and stick it, can I get three points?” Lukacs said (at least from what Kupets Carter recalled) in an enthusiastic tone of voice.
