Some athletes win glamorously, triumphantly raising their hands high and celebrating victory to the delight of their fans.
Others prefer to win quietly, letting a performance speak for itself, leaving the claps and fist-pumps to the crowd.
The Michigan women's gymnastics team, ranked No. 4 in the nation, showed a little bit of both Friday in its 196.85-194.1 victory over Oregon State.
The Wolverines jumped to an early lead on the vault behind perfect 10s from two contrasting athletes, Sarah Cain and Nikki Peters.
Pulling down a high score on the vault has become a weekly event for Cain.
Friday's performance marked the sixth time this season she scored above a 9.9. The freshman recorded the 10 in her first attempt on the apparatus and calmly walked back to the runway for her second try. Each gymnast gets two attempts on the vault.
But the crowd didn't get the encore it wanted as Cain was waved away by her assistant coaches.
Then Peters followed Cain's perfect performance with one of her own.
After landing her second vault, she started clapping her hands in excitement. The judges flashed 10s moments later.
But Peters wasn't finished with her celebration - or with her perfect scores. The sophomore pulled down her fourth straight 10 one event later on the uneven bars, tying her with former Wolverine Beth Wymer for a school record of consecutive perfect scores.
"The vault comes easy to me," Peters said. "I can go out there and be relaxed."
When Peters is relaxed, the fans usually have something to cheer about.
Heather Kabnick is another Wolverine who thrives in pleasing the crowd.
She's been performing to the number "La Cucaracha" on the floor exercise because of its upbeat tempo.
"It's a crowd-getter," Kabnick said. "When they're pumped up, it helps you too."
The junior almost recorded the fifth perfect score of the meet in the floor exercise, but she received a 9.5 from one judge.
Cain pulled off the trick on the final performance of the evening, recording a 10 on the floor.
No. 10 Oregon State was out of Friday's meet from the beginning. Michigan topped the Beavers in every apparatus but the balance beam, and was ahead by the large margin of three points halfway through the meet.
"This was a great win for us," Michigan coach Bev Plocki said. "We had three falls in the beam tonight, so it could have been worse."
Revenge made Friday's victory at Cliff Keen Arena even sweeter.
"It's always great to be able to beat a team you lost to (the previous year) in the Super Six," Plocki said.
This year's Super Six (women's gymnastics' version of basketball's Final Four) looks more and more attainable for Michigan.
With all the perfect scores the Wolverines recorded over the past week, they are approaching the top in national rankings.
"We've been very consistent," Plocki said. "Hopefully, the scores we were able to attain will get us into the top three in the country."
