  1. Women's Vaulting Finals Results -

    1st - Simone Biles (USA)

    2nd - Maria Paseka (RUS)

    3rd - Giulia Steingruber (SWI)

    It was messy. Hong threw a TTY and falls, was not recognised as a triple, She looked really nervous. Paseka taking Silver over Steingruber is a crime, She had real messy form on her 1st Vault and barely controlled the landing on her 2nd, Still happy for both! Simone's Vaults were amazing, Gorgeous form, Good landings. I don't agree with Karmakar taking 4th over Wang Yan of China, Especially after the butt-planted the Produnova. Bars and Beam Finals are going to be REALLY exciting. I hope Steingruber picks up a Medal on FX also!

    Also, The way the Brazillian Crowd behaved here is now surprise. Same thing happened during the 2007 Pan Ams, They cheered when the Americans had falls because they knew it'd increase Brazil's chances of taking Gold. I remember seeing a Cuban Vaulter fall and the crowd just erupted in cheers. I guess they really wanted Barbosa to take Gold lol.

  2. Ahh Ok. Here's Elena Produnova herself doing the Produnova Vault (Hands down the best attempt yet) -

    Hong did the TTY with the help of her Coach in training -

    Dipa's Produnova in Qualifications -

     

    She landed it during the Commonwealth Games EF's -

     

    Chuso's Prod -

     

    Chuso needs to work on the execution because she sat down and put her hands down on that attempt. I remember watching Hong throw the TTY in Podium Training and the way she landed made me cringe so badly, I was scared that she hurt herself.

  3. She is a serious Medal Contender because she's performing one of the hardest Vaults in the World which has a 7.0 D Score. The only thing knocking her down is her E Score, She lands the Vault on her feet but it looks like she sits it down, If she can land upright then it's Medal confirmed. Paseka should not have won the World Title last year considering Hong performed the same Vault she did but with much better form. Chuso will be throwing the Produnova also, But I don't think anyone will top the Queen herself when she did it at the 1999 University Games - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UZBM1wgfRA

    (BTW - Who's Park?)

  4. Women's Vault Finals Line-Up -

    1. Hong Un Jong (PRK)

    2. Shallon Olsen (CAN)

    3. Oksana Chusovitina (UZB)

    4. Wang Yan (CHN)

    5. Giulia Steingruber (SWI)

    6. Dipa Karmakar (IND)

    7. Maria Paseka (RUS)

    8. Simone Biles (USA)

    Karmakar & Chusovitina will probably opt for the Produnova. Considering Biles threw the Gauntlet down in Qualifications, I'm guessing Hong is going to try and kill herself by attempting the TTY (Triple-Twisting Yurchenko). Perfect position for Steingruber because she can see what Vaults Hong/Chuso do and then think of what Vaults she should throw. I think Vault Finals will be one of the most exciting Finals of the Night. I'd expect Bronze to be Paseka vs. Chuso vs. Karmakar vs. Steingruber whilst Hong & Biles go at it for Silver & Gold.

  5. ^^ Very same Routine that got me into Gymnastics. I didn't watch anything but Dominique lol. It's a shame she wasn't consistent because she could have been All-Around Champion at the 1993 & 1994 World Championships and the 1996 Olympics. I still think she was robbed of a Bronze on the Uneven Bars in 1996. I think she was the only one who did Back-To-Back Tumbling in the 90's, In the 80's I remember seeing Oksana Omelianchik, Daniela Silivas & Elena Shushunova do it.

    Also, We would have seen that FX Routine in the Barcelona '92 FX Finals had she been scored correctly! I would have pulled Zmeskal for Dawes after her previous FX Routines through those Games. Had she hit in EF's, Bronze would have been hers, No doubt.

  6. I feel like Shang was robbed. 14.833 for a hit Beam? Please... I LOVe Musty, I really do, But I feel like Bronze should have went to Shang Chunsong. If Seda didn't bomb Floor and scored somewhere around 14... She woulda tied with Musty. I hope Raisman and Mustafina retire now and Biles takes a break because I'm dying to see FRESH, NEW, Talent at 2017 Worlds. Biles' crying after winning AA touched my heart. Aly and her Coach crying had me in tears too.

  7. Aly hits Beam, now in 3rd (a tenth ahead is Musty). Biles has Gold sealed. Down to Mustafina vs. Raisman on FX. Still in tears after Seda fell. She may not have won a Medal judging by the whole Biles vs. Musty vs. Aly thing but she hit Beam every Competition in Rio until now, and everyone thought she was the inconsistent one (Who ultimately turned out to be Melnikova) Andrade now 7th after a disastrous Beam. All my faves making mistakes except Musty :( Steingruber tryna chase down Raisman for Bronze but she finishes on Bars which is her weak event.

  8. Wow. Vault's been an issue for Men whilst Floor has been an issue for Women. I really think they should check the Apparatus and see if there is an issue. Women's All-Around today!!! I can't wait! Well, It's pretty predictable considering Biles is a lock for Gold, Silver & Bronze may be up in the air though! Silver might be Raisman's but the battle for Bronze will be exciting! I really, really hope Seda Tutkhalyan or Rebeca Andrade make the Podium. Tutkhalyan in particular.
