I always wondered if i'd ever see Olga's double back in high quality , and found it here .

Gold medal for whoever kept this high-quality tape. Loved Filatova's FX performance. I was trying to find her "If You're Happy And You Know It" routine some time ago.

Wow. It's just WAG Judge Hatred™, it seems? Absolutely no clue. I had it at 8.8 as well, and that was while TRYING to get down to 8.3 or 8.4

My pen was completely down between 0:53 and 1:48. I don't think we have ever seen 55 seconds of a floor routine being completely deduction-free in decades.

Don't forget to deduct .5 for the abomination that is the switch ring 1/2

It wasn't 0.5.

I know, it's a joke, the skill is just ugly most of the time. Because this is what it looks like mid-air:



The best version of the skill is when it's done with the ring position after the 1/2 turn, so you don't get this icky gnarled body shape (but most people don't have the flexibility to do a great ring position after the turn).

The WAG committee has even forced the skill to look ugly, by disallowing it to be performed with the ring position after the 1/2 turn. It's like they want to win a prize for biggest parade of nonsense.

Beginning with the 2025 - 2028 COP, a gymnast can show the ring position at any time during a switch ring leap 1/2 and still receive credit. However, for the split ring leap 1/2, the ring position still must be shown before the 1/2 turn to receive credit.

What a silly inconsistency

 

[Snowfan]

Who is that?

 

[Passion]

It looks like Andreea Preda at the 2023 RomGym Trophy.

 

[Snowfan]

Thank you Passion

The best split ring half I have seen

Was that a dance series ? Didn't think you could land the first element on two feet.

ETA: It was! But then she does a second one just after the dismount to get the CR.

I really like his high bar

 

[RedBirdie]

That first Jaeger is just so floaty and effortless. It seems to come out of nowhere.

 

[RichardL]

The whole thing is stunning and so classy in terms of skill selection!

I hope he gets a nominative to Los Angeles, he deserves to go

That HB set reminds me of something out of 1988 Olympics with the toe point and releases.

 

[Aeris]

Would love for him to put it all together in competition. He deserves to win a world championship with that kind of routine, but so far in competition he always leaves one of the skills out. He just competed at the Australian championships and scored 13.8

 

[irichluck21]

Much improved legs together on the Def.

13.800 would have put him in event finals/ medal hunt at both Europeans and Pan Am Champs.

7.900 seems harsh for E score. Just from first watch.

 

[tempest]

How much would he had earned if he did the gienger after the jaeger?

Extra .3

It's the leg separations on the Deff and the Pogorolev and late turn on the Healy o el-grip (only a C) that kill his E-score.

I actually wrote to him about the Healy, suggesting he take it out and count a giant. He said "I basically just see the Healy as I don’t gain anything or lose anything - but it gives me a 0.2 higher SV for selection for Worlds than a giant would which is favourable for the meantime".

I firmly disagree. He can do a clean el-grip giant for a B (between the jam and the Pogorolev. Actually, a Russian giant for a C could go there, but those are hard to learn for most guys, I think). That's only a loss of 0.1 in D-score but he could do it cleanly for 0.3 or 0.5 back in E-score.

Do we know the Australian worlds selection criteria? I had a very brief google and couldn't see. I'm wondering if it's one of those stupid requirements like BG had last year where they wanted a certain overall score with a set D minimum, so you could meet the overall score requirement but it still not count because you'd focused more on execution than difficulty.
