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

It’s no worse an error than Maroney made in London

I’m also not wildly happy about that either but at least she did not win

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Yeah, but she’s getting ahead of herself with Andrade still to go.

And Yeo Seojong, who also beat that total in qualifying.

 

[MaryClare]

There was literally no point in Laurent being there

Sometimes a person just needs to take 0.5 for moral support.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Obsessed with Devillard’s sprinting technique.

 

[RichardL]

There was literally no point in Laurent being there

Is he standing in in case she misses her hand and gets lost in the air? That’s the only reason I would stand there as a coach. But if my athlete is as comfortable with a skill as Biles is with the YDP…

 

[RedBirdie]

Jesus

 

[RichardL]

Jesus

So embarrassing. Who did they task with this? What a mess.

 

[Sasha]

Devillard with just an FTY for her second vault.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

OK, now the BBC have jumped straight to Simone. I well thought there’d be another 10 minutes of pissing about first.

 

[RichardL]

Arena commentator calling Devillard’s second vault “simplistic” to the whole audience. Yikes.

But that could happen on any double salto. It’s more likely to happen and more dangerous on floor

 

[J175]

Not a fan of someone potentially winning an EF with a fall. In the AA, Ok you have three other pieces to make it up, but not in EF

 

[Livi]

He is there to step in when it’s necessary to prevent injury. This was a safe fall, she did pretty much the same in warm ups. No need for him to do anything.

 

[Gymfan93]

There was literally no point in Laurent being there

Don’t think he could do much. She sort of landed, and was safe falling to the mats

 

[MaryClare]

Aww Simone and Coline are having a chat

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

This is what I wondered too.

Having just seen the vault now, Simone didn’t look unsafe there. She’s also probably going to get a medal. Maybe they have an agreement he’ll only step in if there’s a danger, because most of the time Simone is still going to medal if she just crashes.

Unless I am forgetting someone, no one has won an world/Olympic event final with a fall maybe they should to expose how shitty an opening ended code really is

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

What are these e-scores? 8.9 for that beautiful FTY?

 

[Laura722]

Beautiful yurchenko double from Leanne.
