Moments prior to Rachel Dickson bursting down the vault runway, her teammate Sabrina Vega thought this routing might bring a special result.
“When you stick your landing, you will take a bow,” Vega told Dickson as the pair of Georgia gymnasts prepared to compete on the team’s strongest event against Missouri.
Vega was clear in her word choice: when, not if and will, not should. Dickson mimicked Vega’s words in a much-more-sarcastic tone of voice, at least based on what Vega portrayed.
At least one of those demands held true as Dickson flew through the air.
