2020 Event Finals Day 1 MAG FX/PH WAG VT/UB (Sunday, August 1, 2021)

[onodian]

The last three ub routines are just there to see how good is the champion at pretending she still doesn’t know she won

 

[onodian]

Also, zapata for a medal plz

 

[RAFIKI]

Good shout.

 

[tempest]

Also, zapata for a medal plz

I would love that as well… Not great draws for him or Nikita

 

[MaryClare]

The draws seem funny, with the top qualifiers going early on vault and bars

 

[tempest]

I like random draws… I miss them in the AA especially

 

[makam]

I like random draws so judges are (hopefully) not subconsciously increasing scores as competitors go but it can be anticlimactic when the best gymnasts go first or second.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Maybe like figure skating, they should split the gymnasts into groups by qualification score and then random draw. So like 5-8 are the first group and 1-4 are the second group, but random order for each of those groups.

 

[Seyonne]

I’m thinking Andrade came leave these games as a double gold medalist. I wouldn’t mind that. If the gymgods will only allow one, then I would prefer her as floor champion. I typically hate floor, but I thoroughly enjoy hers.

 

[tempest]

if it is truly new life, then it should be random… what you did in the past shouldn’t matter

 

[hav12gym31]

I am hoping she wants to come back for Paris and finish on a high note

 

[irichluck21]

She also needs to get the YDP named so if Paris is not in the plan maybe Worlds 2022? Help USA defeat Russia one last time?

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

If she does want to continue and get it named, a world cup is probably a better option than a major championship with all the pressure and need to consider tactics that it involves.

 

[irichluck21]

It can be any FIG event. So it doesn’t have to be a World Cup.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Correct. But I think a world cup makes most sense, because the other FIG events she might want to do are mostly higher stakes. It needs to be a title she wouldn’t be bothered about otherwise.

 

[MaryClare]

She could probably turn up at a World Cup event in the winter once her tour is done and just do vault

 

[RedBirdie]

I can’t wait to see how NBC manages to muck up the coverage of EFs.

 

[Marcio_Custodio]

They should think Twice before deciding wheter Rebeca vaults amanar or not. Regarding all her knees been through and one of her acl torns happened on a front landing vault (cant remember if it was mustafina or amanar. Or both)
She still have fx ef and could come out with 3 medals.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Yeah, I think Rebeca has one of the scarier Amanars I’ve seen.

 

[tsarinajen]

I thought her most recent one was on a 2 and 1/2 twist punch front? I think there’s footage of her Amanar post most recent surgery floating around somewhere.
