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

I mean, the most I can hope to offer on pommel is so-and-so did/didn’t fall off, but I imagine (hope) there will be a few of us on.

 

[Gabriel]

Simone out of floor finals. This is rough.

 

[ucrgirl]

That’s the best I can do with pommel horse too.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I can also offer criticism of Max Whitlock’s crappy extension, and it’ll probably be word for word the same as when I last posted about it so hopefully the familiarity will make it easier to digest at stupid o’clock.

We can additionally speculate about whether Louis will feel the need to involve himself.

 

[QuietColours]

Gymternet says Andrade did a very nice Amanar in warmups!

 

[Dympie]

So, it’s close to 30 years since I started following gymnastics and today I’m up early and poised to watch our first ever Olympic final featuring an Irish gymnast. Not only featuring an Irish gymnast but one who actually has a real shot at medalling. Excited much? To be honest, I wondered would I ever see it and now just to be here waiting for the final is almost enough excitement for me. Im sending big hugs to Reese and Luke, to all at Gymnastics Ireland, to all the Irish gym fans out there who feel the same as I do, to all my old Gymworld friends who know what it means to us Irish Gymfans and to everyone rooting for an amazing result. Any colour medal would have me in tears of joy but I’ll settle for a clean performance and a happy and proud gymnast and coach, knowing they did their absolute best in an Olympic final. Go N’eiri an tadh libh Reese agus Luke !!!

Go N’eiri an tadh libh Reese agus Luke !!!

Erin go Bragh!

 

[RAFIKI]

I am rooting for a Rhys gold :crossed_fingers:For him, for his gymnastics and for my Irish gym fan friends.

 

[Dympie]

Wish we were there in the stands Doc just like we did in London for Kieran.

 

[QuietColours]

This is my first time with the commentary. Not loving it.

 

[QuietColours]

Nagornyy does the triple back pike–big steps back and oob

 

[tempest]

triple pike from Nikita! horrible landing though… not his night

 

[Dympie]

Nikita looked a bit distracted. Smiling to himself before he started. Great triple pike though shame about the landing.

 

[QuietColours]

No good landings in that routine.

 

[Dympie]

Wow Zapata can get some great height. !!! Have never seen him before. Great routine.

 

[QuietColours]

Big step back on the front double pike, but everything else was huge and clean for Zapata

 

[QuietColours]

Is he holding up a baby bib?

 

[Dympie]

Molduer USA lots of twisting. clean . little mistakes on his non acro skills. triple to end. nothing spectacular. shame about the little errors

 

[Buckthorn99]

That was my first thought too! I haven’t followed men’s gymnastics enough to know his situation though. Great routine!

 

[Maeloc_Cao]

Yes, he just had a baby girl, Olympia.
