CARLOOOOOOOOOOS

AMAZING piked Drag

 

[Passion]

YULO!

 

[onodian]

No knee bend at all, this vault is fantastic

 

[cats]

Just beautiful!

 

[rlayt]

He’s coming for another medal!

 

[QuietColours]

That was a gorgeous piked Dragulescu

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

15.433

 

[onodian]

15.433 and I don't even know where they took 6 tenths (he said, in Tim voice)

 

[tempest]

15.433!!!

 

[onodian]

Large step on the triple but that will be enough to go into first

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Triple not as good, but should be sufficient for the lead.

 

[onodian]

ooh, he does quite a NAbieva knee bend at the end there

 

[tempest]

15.116 avg!!!

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

ooh, he does quite a NAbieva knee bend at the end there

I was just thinking the same! A fitting tribute to the icon herself.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Justin was ready to have kittens right before Yulo's second vault

 

[QuietColours]

Yulo into first!

 

[irichluck21]

He does a Randi for the second vault, just a tiny hop. I didn't know they could do the same entry

Double flipping vaults are in their own vault family.

Randi is in front handspring family with EG (element group) #1 HS Single salto vaults with complex twists.
Draglescu is in the front handspring family with EG #2 HS Handspring saltos with or with out twists, and all double saltos forward.

So Hepworth is doing two vaults from two different vault groups.

 

[onodian]

This final is crazy, every single guy could have been gold, theoretically

 

[Passion]

What an Olympics for Yulo. His life will never be the same.

 

[onodian]

What health-endangering vaults is radivilov doing these days
