2023 Worlds MAG Team Final (Tuesday 10/03)

[Rich]

when was the last time america won a team medal

 

[Passion]

2014 Worlds they won bronze.

Dalton, Leyva, Mikulak, Naddour, Orozco, Whittenburg.

Same! That rotation took years off my life. So happy for Team USA!!!

 

[rlayt]

It was epic!

 

[arabiandoublefront]

I just had a good feeling about today. It wasn’t the perfect day, but I did think USA would do enough. This group of guys just gives me different vibes than the last 8ish years. I can’t explain it.

 

[Aeris]

So what’s going to happen with the guy China replaced for team final, he qualified for an event final, does he still get to compete there? I’m hearing it might be possible in the rules for Worlds, has that ever happened before?

I believe if the athlete was replaced by an alternate for team finals, the athlete replaced is medically unable to finish the meet and cannot compete further.

 

[Jerkin]

GB put up a good effort, but even ignoring the falls, that HB rotation was too weak and it meant they were relying on US/China mistakes

Impressed with how Jarman handled being one of the main guys and Whitlock’s mental strength is just incredible. They’ll be good once Fraser and Regini-Moran are back.

I was impressed with Hepworth as well. He just had a bad miss on floor today.

 

[RAFIKI]

Yeah 4th with three falls and two world champions at home is nothing to be ashamed of.

So happy for Japan and I’m glad USA got through HB today-much kudos on their comp. That was an exciting final. The falls felt more distributed than last year’s PH chaos but maybe that’s just my impression. Bravo to Switzerland as well.

I think what made the difference this year is that the USA finally had the vaults to make up some ground when Khoi fell off pommel horse. Also, Fred Richards kept it together on high bar when I think Mikulak might have fallen instead of winning the fight to stay on in the anchor position.

 

[RAFIKI]

It’s sad how few people were in the arena tonight. That TF deserved more. Doha excepted, I don’t remember a worlds with such poor attendance.

 

[irichluck21]

There was also a calm, confident, and energized leadership from Moldauer. He hit his sets and did a great job as captain to get the rest of the team in position not to survive, but to thrive. There seemed to be an aura of attack and fight to medal, rather than to accept the competition as it was. They could have easily given up after pommels, but they persevered. It resulted in a team medal.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Yeah, I just recently read an issue of Inside Gymnastics from last year, and Yul really does have amazing leadership qualities.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

I’m really excited that I have tickets for men’s team finals next year now.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

So excited for them! I was following scores at work. Is there a replay available? Cant wait til this team get Malone back, they can definitely challenge for an Olympic medal!

 

[irichluck21]

Is there a replay available?

Did you subscribe to Peacock? This year they are providing replays!!!https://www.peacocktv.com/watch/asset/sports/mens-team-final/7d7e6407-7901-3b1d-af88-654bffeaa07b

Otherwise check YouTube

 

[cftmoonlight79]

No Peacock. I have enough streaming services.

 

[tempest]

it’s worth the 8 dollar or something for a month and then cancel!

 

[irichluck21]

No Peacock. I have enough streaming services.

I know.
But it is just $6 for one month. You cans subscribe for $6, watch Worlds this month plus Pan Am Games and then cancel. Just $6 for a lot of gymnastics.

Worth it in my opinion.
