Nice triple back from Luke Whitehouse. When does an elite MAG floor routine start, I noticed he wipes his hands together immediately before starting that first tumble (after raising his arms in the corner). Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone do that.
 
Q: was the bonus for two different directions that Karina Schönmaier got for her vault just for this competition or throughout this Olympic cycle?

It is throughout this Olympic cycle.

Page 41, it is a new bonus for this quad's COP (WAG only)

Vault Bonus

• A bonus of 0.20 will be awarded for performing 2 vaults with saltos in different directions (bwd/fwd) in the second flight.− “Cuervo” type vaults are considered as vaults with salto in fwd direction

• In order to credit the bonus, both vaults must be performed without a fall.

• The bonus will be added to the Final Score (average of the 2 vaults).


Previously it had been a deduction (-2 full points) to do two vaults with the same post flight, so we stopped seeing things like the DTY/DTT combo. Now the deduction is gone, so they can go together again, but if you do say DTY/Rudi instead you get rewarded +.2 tenths.

1. 🇩🇪 Karina Schönmaier GER - 13.983
2. 🇭🇺 Valentina Georgieva BUL - 13.900

I went and watched these vaults after seeing some discourse about it, and now I'm even more angry about the result. I already knew the bonus rule would be a problem and this shows exactly why. In no logical world should Karina should have beaten Valentina. They both did "forward" vaults (to describe it exactly, they both did a sideways entry and then turned in the forward direction, which for Karina's Lopez is supposed to be a big deduction) and yet only Karina actually received the bonus. Both of Valentina's vaults were better than Karina's and Valentina also showed more variety (different landing directions and a non-yurchenko vault) and arguably more difficulty too, but the competition result on paper says the opposite.
