2025 World Championships: Women’s Qualifications Day 1 October 20/ Day 2 October 21

[Beamer]

Will Roberson go for the Cheng in VT EF?

She won’t medal either way but she may injure herself if she attempts it. I would just do the Pod (attempted Lopez), but she may think she has a medal chance if she goes for it.

I know, I know. This is a traumatic question.

A better question is whether Schoenmaier will attempt a Cheng in EF. Predictions?

Based on the video above, I imagine some of her choice will depend on how it is going in training. It sounds like this particular vault table is so hard it's required a shift in technique.

 

[Concorde]

The tucked DTY makes me think the fujitsu judging spat out a tuck. A human wouldn’t think of that.

Couple Things:

1. Per FlipFlyTumble / Emily, the AI judging is only being used for illustrative/audience purposes and not for actual scoring.

2. How the D Panel arrived at the downgrade for Wong's Baitova:

Per the WTC presentations on vault in STS, a stretched Vault is downgraded to tuck if:

- Gymnast shows hip angle AND knee angle is < 135 degrees

 

[KristyJ]

So literally placing a protractor on my screen (since I guess this is what we've come to) I suppose that's close and we can't see it from every angle.
Even so.....

 

[Ms Motts]

I feel like that one can be eyeballed - it's so far from any definition of stretched that if you didn't know the intention was a layout it wouldn't enter your mind to judge it as one. Like if I saw that in a floor routine I'd note it as a tuck and deduct for insufficient tuck. Everything's still fairly open at 135 degrees.

Yeah, I can see how they called that an open tuck. Has she (or anyone) said what happened? Missed her steps? Hit the spring or table wrong?
