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

Schönmaier does the Cheng. It's legit!

 

[Aeris]

Karina didn't touch with her 2nd hand on the Cheng. 2 point deduction. No medal.

 

[Livi]

How is that a half on?!

Hmm yeah, watching on replay, it's not a half on and her second hand didn't even touch the table. Second half was pretty though

 

[Matilda23]

One handed Cheng?

 

[mnesiptolema]

Karina didn't touch with her 2nd hand on the Cheng. 2 point deduction. No medal.

I thought the same in the replay.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Does Schonmaier get the Skinner deduction?

 

[Livi]

One handed Cheng?

It definitely was. Sadly

 

[carlomkt]

Rewatching Deng and oh God, her hesitation and realisation of a possible mistake just before she stepped on the springboard.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Roberson is going to end up winning this isn't she...

 

[mnesiptolema]

Score is taking long enough that I wonder whether the judges are talking about it. I wonder if the commentators know about the rule.

 

[Puffin]

yep - hit with 2p penalty

 

[Livi]

Roberson is going to end up winning this isn't she...

Either she or Melnikova. Both not exactly my favorites

 

[Angelika]

Does anyone think Shoenmaier looks like Ksenia Semyonova or am I still half asleep?

 

[Livi]

God if only that second hand touched, she's a beautiful vaulter and I would have been so happy with her winning gold

 

[Gymfan93]

Either she or Melnikova. Both not exactly my favorites

Me neither, but nobody is making a case for themselves otherwise.

 

[Gymfan93]

Score is taking long enough that I wonder whether the judges are talking about it. I wonder if the commentators know about the rule.

BBC were very confused for a while.

 

[mnesiptolema]

What a shame the first time the 2 point deduction is taken, it's for a vault that aesthetically was quite nice.

 

[Gymfan93]

Fontaine may have just vaulted herself into bronze?
ETA: Nevermind. Forgot that Melnikova and Morze still to go.
Tdit again: Nevermind (again). She goes into the lead!

 

[mnesiptolema]

Dynamic vaults from Fontaine - explosive and tidy.

 

[ruby]

Well, technically it's not very different from her DTY, so I'm glad the second hand didn't touch.
