2024 Olympic Games: Event Final Day 3: Monday, Aug 5 (5:40 am EST) FLOOR INQUIRY REMOVED TO AG FX THREAD

[onodian]

I luv the Italian anthem. Not that I was expecting to hear it in bb ef mind you

 

[Puffin]

So these are potential NDs

not saluting the judges before/ after routine
"excessive preparation" prior to the routine
nation's emblem missing from leotard not wearing competition bib number

Is Vanessa Ferrari happy, jealous... both?

Probably both. She went at this for so long and never made it to the Olympic podium (IIRC, but my memory sucks). But she's got to be proud of the Italian ladies, too.

 

[tempest]

This isn't the first time Simone has fallen in a beam EF either

This is the 1st beam final in NINE that Simone hasn't medaled in... insane

I'm hoping happy, it's not like she would have taken this medal I think.

She finally won SIlver in 21(should have been gold IMO)

 

[onodian]

Is D'amato in floor finals? If so, get ready to see some honest smiles probably. I'd do a dace through, tbh

 

[Kara]

Simone is always mad at herself when she doesn’t hit; she’s not one to smile and pretend she’s happy with a fall; I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I've just gone back and counted and Simone was only off 4 seconds between falling and remounting. So it's not that.

 

[onodian]

I want to agree but I do hate them leaps. I would have absolutely accepted it tho

 

[tempest]

Alice is up 6th in FX EF
Manila is 1st

 

[MaryClare]

Interview with Suni on Eurosport. Said both she and Simone found the crowd going ssssh very distracting

 

[MRR]

It is. Rio was technically not a fall.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

And I think also the first time she has competed in an Olympic final and not medalled.

 

[MaryClare]

As in Versace???? I'm at work and the TV is behind me

Sacchi

And she shouldn't have really. There's something relieving about the fact that Simone wouldn't have won gold at these Olympics with a fall. A fall in AA or vault EFs would've put Andrade in gold.

Agree, but we have to get through floor yet!

 

[Hatsumomo]

Well, Simone is pissed so she's going to nail TF out of floor out of pure uncut fresh from the source spite.

 

[onodian]

I'm curious, did anyone have d'amato down for bb gold?

 

[Puffin]

Wonder how much of a splatfest MAG HB will be?
