2020 Event Finals Day 2 MAG SR/VT WAG FX (Monday, August 2, 2021)

[QuietColours]

I’m not over the whole ‘landing sideways’ thing

 

[tempest]

I’m still surprised that Shin’s vault was not downgraded

 

[tempest]

that was nice… Nikita probably just got bumped

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Nice double pike.

 

[QuietColours]

Yep. Goes in above Davtyan

 

[tempest]

FUCKING TIEBREAKER

 

[QuietColours]

The drumbeat that sounds like a heartbeat in the background is not necessary. Men’s vault is heart stopping enough.

 

[tempest]

 

[tempest]

how did Denis lose the tiebreaker… he had lower D and better execution

 

[RAFIKI]

BBC said highest individual vault score comes into play.

 

[tsarinajen]

They just said they give the tiebreaker to the highest individual vault score.

 

[tempest]

BBC said highest individual vault score comes into play.

That happened with Dragulescu and Kenzo in Rio

 

[arabiandoublefront]

That final wasn’t too bad after the first couple guys.

 

[tempest]

So 2 of 4 gymnasts who earned a gold medalist score gets a silver… that pisses me off

 

[QuietColours]

Rank	Athlete	Score
1	SHIN Jeahwan	14.783
2	ABLIAZIN Denis	14.783
3	DAVTYAN Artur	14.733
4	YULO Carlos Edriel	14.716
5	NAGORNYY Nikita	14.716
6	ASIL Adem	14.449
7	ONDER Ahmet	14.066
8	SOUZA Caio	13.683

 

[RAFIKI]

Less than 0.1 between top five

 

[tsarinajen]

Just to speculate here… Nagorny, is he tired? Injured? I suspect the calf injury is a little more serious than he said. Though with his lack of individual win here, that should keep him around for Paris.

 

[tempest]

he looks tired to me

 

[onodian]

These fucking tiebreaking rules are STOOPID. Do you want to prioritise execution or do you want to think about fancy opaque ways to break ties? Cause if we don’t understand it here in gymnerd land i can’t imagine what it’s like outside with the gym muggles

 

[Sasha]

Just caught the floor final in replay and omg S0 GOOD!!! It’s like the gym gods looked down and said “okay, just this once we’ll give you a podium of sentimental favourites.” I haven’t read the whole thread so maybe this has been pointed out already, but the three medalists were the only ones in the lineup who hadn’t already medalled in Tokyo, which I think is pretty cool.
