WAG VAULT FINAL

9:04 am. Protistha Samanta IND VT: Tsuk layout full, lots of form in the knees, pikes down quite a bit, and lands very short with her chest down. 12.700 (4.4, 8.300)

9:01 am. Touch for the second half is underway!

8:57 am. Lia Monica Fontaine CAN VT: Yurchenko double full, massive, gorgeous, almost stuck. Small bounce in place and her chest is slightly forward, but this was next-level compared to everything we’ve seen so far. 14.000 (5.0, 9.000)

Next up is a Yurchenko half-on front layout half, gorgeous again, medium hop back but her form is so so so good. 13.600 (4.8, 8.800)

14.000 average (+0.2 B).

8:54 am. Ruby Stacey ENG VT: Only does a Yurchenko full today! It looked a lot cleaner than the 1.5 has. VERY clean tbh. Almost flares the landing. Big hop back and OOB. 12.700 (4.2, 8.600, -0.1 ND)

Goes for a Yurchenko half-on front tuck and sits it. Looked nice, just landed it too far back on her heels. 11.300 (3.8, 7.500)

12.000 average.

8:51 am. Abigail Martin ENG VT: Yurchenko double full, looked a bit better than it did in the all-around comp yesterday. Just more power and control, and the twisting looks a lot cleaner?! Still some crossed ankles in the second twist though. 13.766 (5.0, 8.766)

She follows that up with a Yurchenko half-on front layout half, really excellent block, mostly nice in the air, almost flares it before landing, big hop back. 13.433 (4.8, 8.633)

13.799 average (+0.2 B).

8:47 am. Abigail Roper WAL VT: Yurchenko double full. And it’s really nice! Some soft knees in the second twist and she has a hop back, but overall this is strong. 13.766 (5.0, 8.766)

Second vault is a Yurchenko half-on front tuck half which looked very strong. 12.700 (4.0, 8.700)

13.433 average (+0.2 B).

8:42 am. Athletes are here! Let’s gooooooooo. Touch about to be underway.

8:38 am. Should be getting the introductions for the WAG vault competitors in a minute!

Lovely double full down the side. Double pike, small hop. Bouncy in his landings today which will hurt him, but still nice work. 12.933 (4.5, 8.433)

8:27 am. René Cournoyer CAN FX: Front full to a lovely piked double front, small bounce. 2.5 to front layout, another tiny hop. Russians and Japanese press. Double double, some leg form right before landing and he’s a little short there but not bad. Lil Y scale because Y not! Full-in with a small bounce. 13.966 (5.1, 8.866)

8:17 am. Reuben Ward SCO FX: Great front double full to double front! Punches into a randi and sticks it. Triple full down the side, small hop back. 2.5 to front layout. Oh no, goes for a double pike in the last pass, lands it a bit short, and the floor launches him wildly up into the airIand lays it flat out on the ground. OOF. He laughs about it. 12.900 (5.3, 7.900, -0.3)

8:12 am. Félix Dolci CAN FX: Stuck the front full to piked double front! 2.5 to double front, noooo, comes out a little short from the 2.5 and sits the latter. Triple full down the side, hop. Japanese press. Stuck the double double. Leans a little in the Y scale. Clean, flared, stuck double pike. Another near-perfect set marred by one pass that went awry. 13.233 (5.3, 7.833, +0.1 B)

8:09 am. James Hardy AUS FX: Front full to double front, step forward OOB. Piked double front with a hop forward. Clean stuck double full down the side. Japanese press. Y scale goes well. Beautiful 2.5 to stuck front layout! Arabian double front with a tiny hop forward. Mostly gorgeous work! 13.433 (5.0, 8.633, -0.2 ND)

He’s filing an inquiry on his D score to challenge his penalty. We’ll see if anything changes! Nope, they keep both penalty tenths in his score. I don’t know where the second one came from!

8:07 am. Muhammad Sharul Aimy MAS FX: Clean in the front full to double front, but comes up slightly short on his heels and sits it. Front double full to front layout goes well. 2.5 down the side, stuck. Russians. 1.5 down the side, easy, clean, and stuck. Arabian double front, also stuck. WHAT a routine, the first pass is even more devastating now! 12.566 (4.8, 7.666, +0.1 B)

8:03 am. Touch warmups are underway!

8:00 am. Here come the athlete introductions!

7:57 am. The broadcast has started! Woooo!

I have a meeting at 11 am and I can’t wait to pretend I’m paying attention.

7:54 am. The broadcast is set to start in about two minutes, and then athlete introductions likely right at 8 am ET, followed by touch warmups. My guess for a start with this smaller field today is action at 8:05 am ET?

We’re starting with MAG floor, followed by WAG vault, then two medal ceremonies, then pommels, uneven bars, and rings should start around 10 am ET.
