Never in Carly Woodard's NCAA gymnastics career had she scored a perfect 10. She was close, with a few 9.95s on beam [1] — but the University of Oklahoma fifth-year senior [2] finally earned that elusive 10.00 in a home meet against the University of Denver on Jan. 30.

In the video ahead, you'll see Woodard's gorgeous beam routine, featuring side aerial to back-handspring step-out and front toss (or kickover front [3]) to beat jump combos. Watch her keep her toe point throughout the entire performance and flow through the choreography. The stuck aerial to full-twisting back-layout dismount is the exclamation point this routine needed to make it perfect on paper.

"Going into the routine, it's the same thing that I think every week. It's 'trust your training,'" Woodard said in a press-conference statement sent to POPSUGAR. "I do this so many times in the gym, so many times a day, and just relying on that to come out in the competition. During the routine, it's one skill at a time. I think about doing one skill, hitting that, moving on to the next skill. And then afterwards, it was obviously really great — landing it was a good finish, and so I was super excited. And it was just a hit routine for me, and it was the best one I've done, obviously, for me to get that ten — but it was a surreal experience."

This isn't the first time Oklahoma gymnasts have earned perfect marks this season. Sophomore Katherine LeVasseur and senior Allie Stern racked up back-to-back 10.00s on vault [8] in their season opener against the University of Alabama (watch a video of those vaults here [9]). This is, however, Oklahoma's first 10.00 on beam in 2022, and getting a perfect score in that event is arguably the most difficult feat in the collegiate sport. After all, the beam is just four inches wide [10], and the judges have a clear view of gymnasts' skills while they flip and twist with precision, trying not to wobble and relinquish 10ths of a point. It's the tightrope of gymnastics — and Woodard has shown it who's beam queen.
