2023 World Championship Event Finals Day 1: MAG FX, PH, SR & WAG VT/UB (Saturday 10/07)

[Gymfan93]

Underwhelming but at least no more injuries.
Moreno 4th again is a bit sad.

 

[MaryClare]

Vaulting has regressed in the past 10 years due to the stupid code. Simone’s brilliance has masked that

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

we should not be here thinking whether Andrade’s vaults should be enough to beat simone today. I don’t know what that means, whether it’s 2.0 for a fall or whatever, but we just should not.

The idea of a larger deduction for a vault fall has been mooted before. On the grounds that it represents a bigger percentage of the exercise than it does on, say, beam.

 

[RedBirdie]

If Laurant had not stood on the podium, Simone would have won. Ponder that.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

I think there’s benefit in knowing that Biles’ YDP can score so high with an over-rotated fall. It’s good info going into Paris; the upgrade is very much worth it

I think everything but bars has regressed, on average.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Two gymnasts were reserves for the 2021 Tokyo VT final with a Chusovitina II and Baitova (Steingruber and Murakami Mai) not to mention Skinner obviously didn’t qualify. Vaulting is the best it has ever been

Floor I don’t think has and at least you have to tick some “artistry” boxes now. Beam is an absolute snooze fest and comes down to who managed to join their leaps

I’m tired of double tucks like it’s 1980, though.

Anyony have the eastern time the UB is scheduled to begin? I have plans and want to try to be back for it. Gotta root for Nemour to smash it.

Exactly the point I was making

Idk for sure but I’d say hop back on in 45 minutes and you’re safe

This is enough to merit a thought about the deduction for a fall

 

[RedBirdie]

Difficulty on bars has increased, but it’s pretty compulsory these days. There’s a formula to get the highest D, and frankly I’m so bored.

True, but transitions were so boring for a while.

We’re definitely seeing less of them this code than last code. Many are realising the benefits of 3 passes. We don’t need to see a double tuck from someone who has already tumbled 2 or 3 other double saltos

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Lol at PH being in between. Are we supposed to care? Nap time

 

[RedBirdie]

At the rate this competition is moving, I’ll be able to catch bars. Which is absolutely ridiculous. They have got to figure out a better way to run event finals.

 

[onodian]

I think the all around has gotten more interesting, although yesterday’s splatfest was disappointing. Bars is ok, I’d argue floor is better, even with the double tucks, beam is the worst at the moment, vault is not that bad, the judging is tho.

There’s no reason why PH warm up can’t happen during VT and then do all the medals at the end
