Because the scoring system changed in 2006. Scores are now composed of a difficulty score and an execution score.

Example:

D:5.8

E:9.45

Total: 15.25

A gymnast can achieve a 10 in execution, but that is yet to happen, partially due to the fact that everyone is trying to increase their difficulty score, while losing tenths on their execution score, because with a difficulty score there is a higher start value.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
