2025 World Gymnastics Championships, Apparatus Finals Day 1, October 24

Watch her use backwards twisting technique off the table. I do hope she doesn't figure out how to get the second hand on the table with that technique because she is doing a quarter on, bw 1 3/4 off. It's a little bit like Kasamatsu technique but doesn't use pure fwd salto and fwd twisting because she gets on the table as if she did a Tsuk. Even if she figures out the second hand, the vault should be judged much more harshly because it is a Kas/Tsuk hybrid in disguise.

I've been calling it "Chengmatsu" because the repulsion and post-flight are exactly the same as a Kasamatsu-full. It's more like a sideways salto with twist.

My understanding is that, even if she pushes with the second hand, there's 0.4 in deductions to take.

But I don't understand why there's only a ≤45° deduction. Schoenmaier is about 90° short in her preflight turn. And 0.3 is a harsh deduction for being just a little short of preflight twist. I would love to see 0.1 for ≤ 30°, 0.3 for 31°-60°, and 0.5 for 60°–90°.

I also think that, while they're at it, they should clarify that Kasamatsu repulsion/post-flight is closer to a salto forward and therefore cannot earn 0.2 bonus when the other vault is a forward vault ... unless the vaults have different number of saltos (e.g. Kas-full and Produnova).

and Limit the staggered hand placement deduction to vaults with no preflight turn, since the preflight turn deduction can be used to penalize the same error Sorry, I take that back. Obviously, hands can be staggered with complete twist.

What do you all think?

We also reported in Origo that Zója Székely finished 8th on the uneven bars at the World Gymnastics Championships while competing with an injury. In connection with the incident, Zója Székely, who chose to jump off the original hurdle despite violating her coach's instructions, paid a heavy price for her indiscipline, collapsing upon landing and unable to get back on her feet. Now, the person concerned has spoken out about her condition.

Zója Székely stated that if it were up to her, her knee, which she injured at the World Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta, would recover quickly. "I have pain in my leg. I still have a thorough examination at home to see exactly what the problem is and where I need to go with the rehabilitation, but I am absolutely fine in my head and I am very confident. I feel that if it were up to me, I would recover quickly," the 22-year-old athlete said on Saturday on the M1 current affairs channel.

Zoja Székely did not give up the tournament even though she was injured.​

Zója Székely suffered a bone bruise in both knees during the individual all-around final on Thursday and was unable to finish the competition. Despite this, she took on the half-bar final on Friday, in which she aimed to perform a modified routine. The 2020 European Championship silver medalist ultimately decided to finish the routine with her original jump, but was unable to finish the landing, finishing eighth.

“ The thing is, I often have a problem with my temper. I am an athlete, my personality is like that. I felt that I had a good practice behind me, and we have very, very little time to make decisions at times like this , ” she said. She added that she made a split-second decision before the dive, and although it is very easy to consider it in retrospect, she simply could not resist trying. “ I would be lying if I said that my leg was not worse than the day before. That dive definitely worsened the position of my right leg, but I can’t say for sure yet, ” said the FTC-Telekom gymnast.

She emphasized that she will definitely receive proper care at home and be surrounded by a proper team, which is why rehabilitation is already being planned, which she would like to start as soon as possible. Székely stated that she will travel home not completely sad, but with very mixed emotions, because she has been through both heaven and hell. On the one hand, an injury never comes at a good time, and on the other hand, she achieved something superhuman by becoming a world championship finalist in both the slalom and individual all-around.
