Gerber should have had gold, IMHO. The fact that Lago outscored Gerber in EXECUTION when Lago had a huge mistake on her last pass is a joke. The difference was .025; you really don't think there was some Mexican favoritism in the scoring. Oh well. :p
I have to agree, today Ana Lago hit her first tumbling passes but landed very low almost touching with her hands the double pike, though she disguised a bit with some choreo movements but it was evident that it was a mistake and a low landing
Still the judges gave her 13.800. Gerber didnt have a major error, but was very penalized on the execution score, legs coming apart, some break forms tha costed her many points, but I was very confused when her score was shown and she got second place
Itīs not Ana Lagoīs fault, overall the judging was īokī but of all the medals that the mexican girls won, this gold is the one disputed
Also there was a bit of controversy on the beam final, Hypolito taking bronze with a fall, ahead of a clean Karla Salazar of Mexico, who did not have mayor errors but low D Score, still with the fall but the brazilian girl beat her
But you canīt question any of the two golds from Daniel Corral who was simply the best in the field on both Pommel Horse and Parallel Bars
I hope he can recover and be in top form for January and go to the Olympic Qualifying Event, he really deserves a shot at the Games and maybe an individual final, he could be a very competitive specialist
