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

[tempest]

I like that delayed twist

 

[RedBirdie]

Jade finally gets her vault gold.

 

[Sasha]

Efficient Rudi from Vaelen. Not as high or as clean as Devillard’s though, is it?

 

[Jerkin]

You’d think that it would, but it’s not like there are many big vaults being competed these days outside of Carey, Biles and a couple others.

 

[makam]

Not the hardest, but some people are definitely vaulting out side their ability. Cuz that Y1.5 is not going to be scored any better if perfect than a janky DTY.

 

[Sasha]

I mean difficult relative to the gymnast’s ability. But its just a hypothesis, not sure its true.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I don’t understand how Lihie Raz misacquired the ability to do a DTY. She used to have an ok one.

 

[makam]

I wonder if it was the last minute call to action that threw her off? Didn’t see her vault in TQ but she must have been pretty decent to get the R1.

 

[RedBirdie]

She must have had a good one in prelims. She was 10th. Wonder if being a last minute replacement messed with her head.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

I almost forgot there was one more vaulter to go.

 

[Sasha]

Oh hey, Japan DID pack more than one leo!

 

[cats]

Well that was great!

 

[rlayt]

Shoko is always smiling. It’s nice.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Shoko’s Tsuk 1.5 better not score lower than Black’s or I’ll scream

 

[QuietColours]

I feel like Miyata is the break out athlete of this competition

 

[tempest]

it looked like she almost hit her leg on the horse

 

[makam]

Ellie in 4th again. Man. Glad she got the team medal earlier.

 

[Sasha]

Well that was a pretty solid final. Everyone left the podium on their own two feet, and there were no freaky baulks from the leaders. 8/10 would recommend.

 

[tempest]

Shoko’s Tsuk 1.5 better not score lower than Black’s or I’ll scream

don’t scream lol

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

It receives the no broken femur bonus too.
