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

After 4381 days, Denis Ablyazin is in his final hour as Olympic vault silver medalist

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

At this point, I just need Becky to hit well and go out on a high. She's probably not one of the top 3 on paper in this final, so a medal is going to be about other people as much as her.

 

[Hatsumomo]

This is the final I've been most excited and nervous for!

 

[Passion]

The arena started playing AC/DC's Highway to Hell as the Rings gymnasts were walking out of the arena.

Ha! Another screwed over gymnast

No medal ceremony for Rings? Glad I dragged myself out of bed earlier than I really wanted to!

I hate when they act like deductions are ridiculous for existing. It's not just Justin literally every American commentator has been doing this for years. It's not a phantom deduction, ghost deduction, or hidden deduction to land with your chest down. Everyone can see if a chest is down. It's a deduction to differentiate scores between people who are landing low and people who are landing straight up.

Yes it’s ridiculous. Just say that the deductions might not be apparent to the untrained eye then list them.

Peacock lied. It said the UB only stream would be the World feed, but here is Laurie on two of my screens now.

 

[tempest]

Laurie just gave some tech info!

 

[Beamer]

C'mon Becky!!

 

[Beamer]

Will Suni make the Bhardwaj + Van Leeuwen connection?

 

[onodian]

Was it qqy who missed the LO Jaeger? The other Chinese girl does one too, right? warm-ups

I guess they just left it on the floor from yesterday since no one is doing FX today. The UB are already warming up. I don't know why they are doing it differently than yesterday, yesterday we got ceremonies immediately after each event.

I think Zhang Yihan.

 

[Beamer]

I would not be surprised if we see upgrades from Qiu Qiyuan.

 

[Passion]

Love love love Zhang Yihan yellow leo

 

[onodian]

The pronunciation of the Chinese names by the Spanish commentators is a crime in and of itself

 

[makam]

I don't love Becky's red leo. It is a breastplate-style but the lower part was not flattering her (clearly enviable) physique.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

That's our 8 out of 8 gone.
