Congratulations, Simone!
Congratulations, Rebecca!
Congratulations, Shilese!
Amazing podium!
Apparently after Joselyn’s withdrawal, Ellie Black got that spot. Gadirova’s withdrawal had Leanne Wong as the next replacement but there was a clerical error (per reporting of NBC commentator) where Bacskay was told she was the 8th vaulter. So b/c of that, they both got to vault9 girls in the finalCan someone explain why?
Error. They notified Bacskay that she was in before recalculating the rankings.9 girls in the finalCan someone explain why?
Precautionarywas is reported what happened to Gadirova?
that I read as well - but I wonder why or what precaution - she is not in any event finals either so it probably is some sort of injury.Precautionary
So relieved that she did not hurt herself.The Biles 2 scares the crap out of me.

"Jess felt some pain after her final training on vault in the warm-up hall before yesterday's all-around competition," a statement read. "Immediately the precautionary decision was made for her not to compete and she was attended to by the British Gymnastics medical team.
That looks right - would have won by .049.Am I right in thinking that if Laurent had not been on the podium, and therefore the .5 neutral deduction would not have been taken, that Simone would have won? I know it's the code etc but to win a vault title with a fall wouldn't feel right at all.
Yes she would have by a slight margin. It's an ongoing debate about how much difficulty should allow you to outrank someone even with a fall. In 2013 they tried to change the way vault final scores were calculated but it didn't last.Am I right in thinking that if Laurent had not been on the podium, and therefore the .5 neutral deduction would not have been taken, that Simone would have won?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. She had a big fight on one of the handstands and Sam tried to say she was ‘almost showing off’The homer-ism from the US commentators for Shilese on bars is killing me. Shi's handstands were loose and some of them almost went over. Her body was floppy during the catches, So please put a lid on it, Sam and John, about how she was underscored.
Right. That was b.s.Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. She had a big fight on one of the handstands and Sam tried to say she was ‘almost showing off’
Same. But there’s a crazy dash for the Oly spot, so I’ll stick with it to see how it pans out.I got up after 5 hours of sleep to watch finals. Rings is my least favorite, and I might go back to bed before it. lol.
