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

[CameliasFingerpaint]

All four scores are higher than the top score from prelims.

 

[Hatsumomo]

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

The commentators were saying what he's already been gifted by the Philippines federation, including a condo and lifetime free food at a popular restaurant

 

[PeakePups]

What is the difficulty of Simone's vaults in the men's code? Do men compete YDPs? I feel like not yurchenko entries aren't as popular for men.

 

[tempest]

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

That is what makes MAG VT the most exciting along with HB

I think 5.4 and Paul Juda did it last year and Simone's was higher!

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Why does he run like that..,

I swear I saw one of the men do a YDP in the AA, I think. Couldn't tell you who.

 

[onodian]

Very well landed Dragulescu to start

I was just wondering the same thing. I don't think there has been a yurchenko vault for the men yet?

 

[onodian]

Kristian Thomas used to do a YDP in 2005-08.

And of course Melissanidis submitted it in 99 worlds, but that was tucked. But also on the horse

 

[Hatsumomo]

I think I need to watch more MAG just to listen to Justin Spring. He is into these competitions

I saw a video from the Stanford crew (?) and most of them lacked the back flexibility to do a yurchenko style vault.

Paul Juda was doing a ydp last year i think?

 

[dweiss324]

I mean when I heard what Yulo might have just won... My life might never be the same. Might have to switch to Philippines citizenship and take up vaulting again

 

[onodian]

Radivilov down on double pike, sucks for him. Remember when MAG VT EF was the splattiest of splatfests? It was basically survivor

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Still no MAG medal for Ukraine.

 

[onodian]

The two brits are going to sweat the rest of these vaults

 

[Hatsumomo]

Radilov was kind of low on his vault and a fall

 

[Passion]

He’s also been gifted free colonoscopies for life once he turns 45 by a gastroenterologist, but they left that one out of the broadcast lol.

 

[tempest]

Still no MAG medal for Ukraine.

I have my fingers crossed for PB

 

[onodian]

We have to use these Dragulescus to test VT MAG scoring. Another one, very nice
