Paris Olympics - Men's Podium Training - Subdivision 2 - Rotation 1:
FX - Yulo (PHI) - everything seems easy... very good warm up, making both double front passes with lots of control, good landings on the second half of the routine too; looks well prepared here!
PH - de Munck (NED) - in little trouble on the flop but saves it, hits the rest well!
SR - China - Zhang looks great here; Liu is out of this world, sticking the dismount too! Zou quite strong too, another stuck landing!
VT - Japan - Hashimoto super clean Kas double twist, step back with control; Kaya three of four Kas full warm up turns, no double twists; Wataru only timers, Kas full and front handspring front pike;
HB - Ukraine - Verniaiev casual workout with his t-shirt on; Kovtun makes the Cassina in the routine but misses the Kolman... Oleg takes the shirt off and hits almost full routine.. misses a skill before the dismount (Tak half?), then hands down on the layout double-double; two misses in a row on Kolman by Stelmakh.
Paris Olympics - Men's Podium Training - Subdivision 2 - Rotation 2:
FX - Ukraine - Oleg V. 3 ½ front full oob, double double with a mat and it is fine... good control on the rest; Kovtun sits down the first front full to double front; triple twist forward to a step, the rest is good... does another front full to double front and this time is good!
VT - China:
Sun-first Kas double full is short and hands down; doesn't take any additional turns; in fact, his ankle was being looked at;
Liu warms up a Kas 1 ½, but it is not easy for him!
Xiao - couple of Kas fulls; then does a good-looking Kas double twist, then one more;
Zhang - Kas double twist light, and over rotated, steps back and eventually rolls out of it; makes the next one nicely, step back with control!
PB - Japan: Kaya solid as ever, hits nicely;
Hashimoto on the third spot for the team, and he goes perfect, slight hop on the dismount; Wataru also hits fine, except he doesn't do the dismount, just a timer for double front at the end;
HB - Karimi (KAZ) - full routine, well done
- Kovacs to Kolman perfect, good on the handstands! Takes an extra turn which consists of Tak half layout Tkatchev to Tkatchev and it is well done!
Paris Olympics - Men's Podium Training - Subdivision 2 - Rotation 3:
FX - Karimi (KAZ) - Randi stuck, full to double pike stuck, 2 ½ to double front hop, step on the tuck double-double... he looks well prepared!
PH - Ukraine - Chepurnyi hits, but Stelmakh misses; Oleg hits until the piro, gets stuck halfway; Kovtun almost hits, falls on the triple Russian before the dismount - these marathon routines look exhausting! Both Verniaiev and Kovtun take a few extra clean turns of parts only!
SR - Aid Said (FRA) - couple of strong turns! Yulo (PHI) - clean work!
PB - China - Zou is the first one goi full routine, and he is perfect even when
PB - China - Zou is the first one going for a full routine, and he is perfect even when he is not, superb as usual! Zhang hits also sticking the dismount; Looks like China will go with Zou, Zhang, Xiao here... Sun takes just a couple of basic turns at the end!
HB - Japan - hit set for Kaya; Sugino and Oka hit; the only person who missed was Hashimoto: made the Tak to Liukin, but far on the Cassina; repeats, this time far on the Liukin and falls again, finishes, but little messy... Cassina and Kolman are fine, but Tak full very late, and early tap on the dismount, has to pike it down and lands with legs straight awkwardly! Hashimoto makes another good Liukin and fine dismount which he sticks!
Paris Olympics - Men's Podium Training - Subdivision 2 - Rotation 4:
FX - Japan - Oka - struggled a bit with a few landings; Kaya - good routine nearly sticking everything; Sugino well hit routine; Hashimoto - triple double small hop, the rest is really solid! Tanigawa didn't do much, only rebounds and a few single flips, perhaps slight injury!
SR - Ukraine - Radivilov still has it here, good work!
VT - Yulo (PH) - first double front half is short, smartly with an extra mat on the landing; Kas double twist little sideways and over rotated, but could have been landed; A good Kas double at the end, landed with steps back!
