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

[RedBirdie]

Everyone might as well just chuck Cheng’s rather than doing safe easier vaults

Does seem to be what the code wants. Don’t do easy gymnastics (“easy”), do hard and ugly.

 

[MaryClare]

unless it´s a LO to two on bb, tbh

For real? You’re allowed a huge amount of pike on bb

I thought the basically call it a whip unless you’re chinese?

Two gymnasts are out of the final because of warm-up injuries on the Cheng, and now they downgrade a perfectly fine Lopez and give a medal (maybe a title) to a gymnast who came nowhere near landing one of her vaults.

Deduction, yes. But you never see downgrading to a pike

yay vt code!

ok touche, so, shut up

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I think Pauline should also be drafted into this final to do her 8.9 tucked barani again.

 

[Sasha]

If it was a front salto it would be considered straight. :roll_eyes:

Whoops, I’m a dumbass. 0.5 more twists would lay that sucker out.

 

[Caledi]

Can you do an inquiry on vault for D score? Or only on other events?

 

[arabiandoublefront]

To be honest, though, I’m more scared of Simone doing her Amanar again after the last Olympics, so it’s like damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t.

everyone should just do tucks so no more shape downgrading

Don’t forget that one gymnast is this final is there because of an administrative error and now has a nominative Olympic spot. Go FIG!

She could just not do a 2nd vault. No reason she has to contest every event, and I think ASac will probably relax any 2 vault provisions in her case.

Might be a matter of pride.

 

[Sasha]

Nice DTY from Shoko.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Might be a matter of pride.

I mean, I’m sure Simone would prefer to do a 2nd vault if that’s a workable option for her, but it’s not going to be her priority over being ready for the AA and TFs is it? She wasn’t even sure she was doing a 2nd vault this season initially.

Maybe she could do an FTY.

 

[onodian]

Nice Lopez from Miyata! If they downgrade that, I’m out

 

[RichardL]

I guess the panel wants to see the arch in the Lopez like Miyata just showed. This has never been a requirement for layout vaults before.
