2022 World Gymnastics Championships Team Qualifications (Saturday 10/29 SD 1&2- Sunday 10/30 SD 3-10)

[Concorde]

I mean that does look pretty tucky. She kicks back out to the pike but that’s a 90 degree knee bend.

To receive credit for a layout, the stretched position must be maintained from repulsion until the inverted (head down) position is attained, with up to a 30 degree pike in the hips permitted. Andrade’s hips are bent past the 30 degree allowance, so at best the vault would be considered a pike. In this case, the judges also need to consider knee bend. When the angle of the knees is less than 135 degrees, a pike salto will be credited as a tuck salto. Because both conditions are satisfied, Andrade was credited with a tucked Yurchenko vault.

Imagine being British and Russian

 

[Gymfan93]

I’d need sedating prior to every meet

13.066

 

[MaryClare]

I wonder how many years the Tokyo team final shaved off my life expectancy

 

[Sasha]

7.3 E for Alice, without a fall if I understand correctly?

 

[Rich]

did jessica touch the beam on the wolf turn?

 

[Gymfan93]

She didn’t fall and it sounded fairly solid going by the quick hits on twitter

 

[Angelika]

I know nothing about scoring but that seems low?

 

[Sasha]

I wonder if she got hammered for rhythm/pauses. Everyone’s saying the routine was good.

 

[Rich]

Rebecca qualified on beam now right?

 

[makam]

She was pretty tentative on just about everything (re: Alice on BB)

(hey! that time the “reply” thing worked!)

 

[Gymfan93]

I don’t like to comment because I know nowt about judging!

 

[rlayt]

There was a .1 penalty too. Did she go over time?

 

[rlayt]

The second Gadirova had hesitations so broken connections and a balance check.

 

[Sasha]

She’s in 8th, but Ondine could knock her out still.

 

[rlayt]

 

[Rich]

but one Japanese girl is 2 p’d

 

[Sasha]

The judges seem to be in the mood of “how DARE they hit beam, ALL THE E-SCORE DEDUCTIONS!”

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Aww, that had EF all over it until she staggered on the dismount.
