The feminist in me loves a storyline where there is a “Mr. Voinea” inserting himself in a situation to create more drama. #equality

I think Melnikova’s overall artistry and D advantage should allow her to beat Wong even with a fall, provided their execution on that day is equal. I thought Wong had better execution on that day, so should have edged Melnikova, though only by a tenth or two. Looking back scoring wasn’t as...

A 0.1 separation for gold between hit sets from melnikova and Neymour would have been so much more satisfying..

Ugh just a very unsatisfying result. I wish Melnikova would have hit. She looks great and I would have been able to cheer for her winning if so, I think she is the best AA athlete at this competition. Just not win with a fall better…

All 0.3 deductions for melnikova are automatically reduced to 0.1😂

Can they make a flag out of the screenshot of that first pass landing and fly that for the medal ceremony?

The highest fx E score of the day for melnikova?! C’mon

No way that should do it. Should be bronze but prob silver?

it really is the wrongiest face there ever was

So Wong would likely win just putting one of her vaults to her feet….usually that would mean just going with the double. But after qualifying?! What do you think she’ll do?!

Her scores are not insane…that she is getting them from the same pens as the other athletes is, a bit. Her scores I think are ones we’d like to see judges give….but to everyone

8.4 E score for Melnikova versus Wong’s 8.1 is…interesting

Here is the actual IOC statement. I read it to mean IOC really only has control over the Olympics themselves. Qualifiers are run by individual sports federations, so they can only issue “recommendations” for those...

Just watched Voinea and Yap’s routines. That there is only 0.167 separating their E scores is insane. I think if you told me the decimal point was misplaced and there was actually 1.67 separating them…Voinea a 7.1 and Yap an 8.7…I would have been less shocked.

I believe some of what everyone is talking about is happening under Okino at the Elite Developmental camps. Many younger coaches and athletes that are hopes or aren’t even hopes athletes yet attending.
