Aisena Allen brings a powerful alternative to the typical Yurchenko lineup with her front handspring-front tuck vault. She launches off the table with impressive height and amplitude, maintaining an open tuck while still completing a quick, tight flip before a controlled landing. Allen’s power and execution were on full display at State last season, where she posted a season-high 9.7 to earn bronze on the event, a near-perfect score on a vault with a 9.8 start value. She’s also been training a front handspring-front pike, an upgrade that looks promising heading into next season and could give her already impressive vault an added level of difficulty.

Aisena Allen is entering her fourth season at Level 10 with a résumé that speaks for itself, qualifying to Nationals in each of her first three seasons. Now, she’s adding even more difficulty to an already packed arsenal. On bars, Allen is training a Tkatchev and full pirouette-double layout dismount to complement her current double layout and bail to handstand. Beam is equally loaded, with a back handspring-layout stepout, switch leg aerial-layout stepout, aerial-to-scale, and round-off-1.5 dismount, while she is now working toward a double tuck dismount. On floor, her full-in and Rudi already provide plenty of difficulty, with a double-double in the works. Her front handspring-front tuck on vault brings impressive height, power, and ease, and she is training a front handspring-front pike to raise the ceiling even further. Add in her exceptionally clean lines and standout showmanship, and Allen looks more than ready to dominate her sophomore season.

Aisena has talent upon talent, especially on the balance beam. She has plenty of variety within her routine and utilizes her wonderful presentation skills. Aisena shows off a side-aerial switch leg + layout step-out for her series, along with a side-aerial switch leg to scale. With her prior experience and Nastia Cup appearance, we should be excited to see more from her.

Aisena Allen is a talented beam athlete whose combination of difficulty, confidence, and continued development makes her an exciting prospect to watch. Her routine features a back handspring to layout series, a round-off to 1.5 dismount, and a switch leg aerial, along with an aerial to layout series already in her competitive repertoire. After medically withdrawing from Nationals, Allen has remained focused on her recovery and preparation for the upcoming season, continuing to build back toward competition. She is also working on exciting upgrades, including a back handspring to two-foot layout and a round-off to double back dismount. With her strong skill set and determination to return even stronger, Allen is an athlete to follow closely as she continues to progress on beam.
