2022 World Gymnastics Championships MAG Team Final (Wednesday 11/02)

100% agree.

In WAG, it was nice that bronze went to a team that really hit at their best (or close to their best). Today, I figure the medals may go to teams that only have a few falls or a few minor disasters.

Asher hit VT but big lunge to the side and out of the area.14.533

 

[cats]

Surprised they didn’t have Whittenburg vault.

Also I feel like they need more mats around vault. Don’t like seeing anyone step onto the podium before they’ve gotten things fully under control, and it’s happening a lot now.

 

[Caligym]

It doesn’t seem right that vault gets 8.633 E while Zapata’s “did hid feet touch before his butt?” Double front gets 7.633. Doesn’t seem like enough separation.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

China are powering through quite well, though I realise what the consequences of typing that will be.

 

[irichluck21]

Bold statement given the hit rates here in general.

True…but considering pommels was a"strength" for the US with Nedoroscik as a secret weapon “15”, it rings pretty true…clearly other teams are trying to give it away also!

 

[Doug1233]

Jake Jarman hand down and short on his vault. that’s it for gbr

 

[ucrgirl]

You typed that just as my neighbors black cat strolled through my yard. So if things change we know who started the bad luck.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Yep. Although I do see what he was trying to do there, after pommels it’s a shit or bust situation.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I keep telling you all, there’s a portal to the Otherworld in the arena. Having it there this time of year was asking for trouble!

 

[irichluck21]

USA making up ground but 11 points from 3rd with two events remaining, once of which is high bar is not ideal.

ETA-- OOPS! Walker still to come on pbars!
They might be in the hunt after all.

 

[Doug1233]

Courtney seemed to snatch his vault a bit. deep landing with a step out

 

[Doug1233]

the height on that double front half out is glorious

 

[Doug1233]

the height on manchini’s releases!!

did daike put his hand down there? 8.533 E looks like they didn’t take it?

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I thought he just saved it?

 

[Doug1233]

some very late turns for Donnell

 

[J175]

China might be favourites now. They’re about 0.5 ahead of Japan if they both repeat their qualification performances from now on. And China can definitely improve on their floor score. Bronze is going to depend on who hits the last two apparatus. Even GB aren’t that far behind.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

They must be the favourites now, surely?

 

[Doug1233]

Even GB aren’t that far behind.

they’re 3 points behind USA

 

[J175]

But as Matt Baker is so keen to point out their parallel bars rotation could score quite a bit more than what USA/Brazil/Italy are doing now.
