2024 Olympic Games: Event Finals Day 2: Sunday, Aug 4 (9:00 AM EST)

[Annie]

So far there no European gymnasts on any podium except Team. That’s wild.

Well, Kaylia is very much French.

 

[Sasha]

Nailed my prediction, other than I had Derwael in 8th

I got first and second, but went optimistic and put Downie in third.

 

[QuietColours]

Also had this podium and thrilled by it. I had McDonald in 8th so that obviously wasn't going to happen

 

[cats]

The list of first time champion federations is really pretty awesome.

I can’t believe we have to pull ourselves together to watch men’s vault after that!

 

[onodian]

Come on Carlos, get another one!

 

[Puffin]

Need to get breath back for MAG vt!

 

[Passion]

I preferred how they did this yesterday, where the medal ceremony immediately followed each final. I don't understand why they're changing the format in the middle of the competition. It was only 3 finals yesterday and 3 finals today. What changed?

 

[onodian]

Reason kicked in?

 

[makam]

Reason kicked in?

The audience (or broadcasters) complained about having to show them. Now they can just cut away at the end (or leave the auditorium if local)

 

[Sasha]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of changing things up in the middle of the competition, but I DO prefer this format, since I'm not much into medal ceremonies. This format is more efficient, for me.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Becky is emotional. Said she's had a wonderful time, has no regrets. She remembers sitting with Eurosport 3 years ago instead of competing, and she'd take being in the final with a fall over that. This will probably be it now for her.

 

[hmmmm]

Would it be to do with athletes in both finals getting sufficient warm up in back gym?

 

[onodian]

It is a shame for her, but I'm glad she's at a point where she can see the glass half-full.

Meanwhile, I just heard the Spanish commentator whisper "Shit it´s starting"

 

[onodian]

So this final is 8 possible winners.

Chepurny, pretty great Dragulescu to strt us off

 

[Sasha]

The amount of tape on this guy...

 

[onodian]

Fantastic Triple twisting tsuk

 

[Caledi]

Where do the Ukrainians (and Karimi) train? Are they still in Ukraine?

 

[onodian]

Hepsworth also starts off with the dragu, this is nice, kind of compulsories vibe

 

[Hatsumomo]

Where do the Ukrainians (and Karimi) train? Are they still in Ukraine?

They're still training in Kyiv

 

[onodian]

Hepsworth same score as chepurny for the dragu, I thought he'd go higher.
