2024 Olympic Games: Event Finals Day 1: Aug 3

[RAFIKI]

My gymnastics friendship group contains three Brits, two Americans and one Irish person. Will be difficult to keep us all happy this afternoon. I’m rooting for Rhys gold, Max silver, Stephen bronze.

Being British aside, it’d be a gymnastics crime if Jarman doesn’t medal on floor today. He’s been so good on floor this games.

I’m team Jarman for FX gold. Carlos Yulo for silver.

I’m all for Stephen for PH gold. Let the memes continue.

 

[Beamer]

The thing about Rebeca’s TTY is that even with it, she’s still unlikely to beat a hit Simone. Although who’s to say if and how well Simone will hit. Rebeca does go after Simone though.

Whatever happens, please let Rebeca’s knees stay intact!

Please Jade Carey for VT bronze!

Memes will continue with any medal for nedr, i say rhys and kaylia for gold today.

Jarman probably should do it. I'm hoping zapata has a good showing. If Simone has to win, please not these incredible leaps tho

 

[onodian]

I just realised ub ef aren't today. First disappointment of the day

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I'm out with patchy WiFi, please ensure quick hits are the perfect blend of comprehensive and controversial kthxbai

 

[RedBirdie]

I'm going to miss floor, but hoping I'm home in time for vault

Well, Scott Bregman posted a series of tweets reporting that Yeo appears to have a shoulder injury and it sounds like (?) she only managed a YLO and handspring timer in warmups.

 

[Beamer]

I'd like to see Luke Whitehouse win a minor medal on FX for his triple back.

 

[tempest]

I forgot that there are 3 days now as well lol

 

[RAFIKI]

I remembered that there were three days but somehow still thought SR was today

 

[MaryClare]

I do think it’s silly that they’ve split up women’s vault and bars instead of beam and floor, which makes much more sense

 

[Angelika]

Why are the organisers messing with the days events should be on - I don't like this three days business!

 

[tempest]

High Bar used to be the last event right?

 

[onodian]

I got you gal

Better than VT and FX on same day like in Beijing 08

zapata up:
2'5-double front shuffle
1'5-double pike low
double double LO, hop fwd
2'5-LO very good
double arabin 1/2 stuck
DLO small hop

That's a pretty good routine to get us started

 

[tempest]

Good for Zapata... I always feel bad for him(and others) who scored the gold winning score yet was robbed of the gold
