2022 World Gymnastics Championships Event Finals Day 1 (Saturday 11/05)

[tempest]

Oh nooooo. Hope she’s protecting something for tomorrow rather than out altogether.

I would think so, she had no shot at a medal did she?

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Very unlikely, but I mean I hope this is a tactical thing rather than her being too injured to compete any more at all.

 

[Sasha]

Just got here. Have they started or just presented the athletes?

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

WAG vault have just come out. Raz in for Gadirova, warmups now.

 

[RedBirdie]

No one told the US broadcast Jess is out. Funny.

 

[GLeigh]

Or the UK one until this second haha

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

They’ll be like why is this British woman wearing an Israeli leotard?

 

[Gymfan93]

BBC say Jess withdrew to rest for FX final. I hope that is all.

 

[Caledi]

Lihie Raz’s vault is really scary. She’s waaay off to the side on the table.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

this gymnast keeps on vaulting so far off to the left in warmups…

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Lihie Raz is reeeeeeeally off to the side on her Yurchenko timers. I thought she was going to miss the table on the last attempt.

 

[cats]

Yiiiiiiikes.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Made sense for Gadirova to withdraw. She’d need big mistakes from two of Carey, Chiles, Yeo, and Devillard to win a medal

 

[Seyonne]

She’s been very busy. She should rest. Lots of excitement the past few days and maybe more press than normal.

 

[Gymfan93]

Yep. They just updated and said Jess had some slight ankle pain in warmup so they withdrew to rest/evaluate

 

[Puffin]

Soreness in her foot - Gadirova

 

[Gabriel]

It’s a shame Rebeca missed in qualifying. This would have been a home run.

 

[Sasha]

Guess you were all right to be scared.

 

[tempest]

not even close

 

[Puffin]

yikes
