Because the Olympics are like, “ooohhhoohhhohhh,” event finals are divided over three days instead of two, with just three events held today: men’s floor, women’s vault, and pommel horse.

Men’s Floor

Zapata – FX – back 2.5 to double front, solid – back 1.5 to double front pike, deep landing but controlled – double double layout, small hop forward, solid – front 2/1 to front lay, stuck excellent – double araian 1/2 out, great stick – DLO, lands a tad short, small hop forward, in bounds?

Opening with a long score wait. Funnnnnn. Wondering if they’ll say the second double pike was tucked. “Que pasa? Dios mio!” Same.

14.333

Dolgopyat – FX – double double layout, little hop – front full to double front pike, hop forward – back 2.5 to double front, hop – front 2/1 to layout, smooth, little hop – double double, chest down, a couple small foot adjustments – FTDT last pass, little movement. Much better than Q.

14.966 would have tied for the win in qualification.

Yulo – FX – back 2.5 to front pike, little hop – front 2/1 to double front, hop – DLO 1/1, lovely, stuck landing – 3/1, a little under with a hop – front full to randi, little hop – 3.5 dismount is awesome, stuck.

15.000! Into first.

Zhang – FX – front 2/1 to double front pike, bounce forward OOB with both feet – back 3.5 to 1/2 is hit today with a hop – randi, little hop forward – 2/1, stuck nicely – back 1.5 to front lay, hop – 3.1, hop back.

13.933 and into 4th.

Karimi – FX – side pass randi, bounce back – front full to double front pike, slide back – back 2.5 to double front, nice stick – double double, step back – 2/1, stuck – front 2/1 to kick out 1/2 – 3/1, a little short, step. He did his good one in an Olympic final, which is nice to see.

14.500 and into 3rd for the moment.

Jarman – FX – triple double lay, bounce back, nearly OOB, saves it – back 2.5 to double front, hop – triple double, little bounce – 3/1, little hop – front full to randi, a bit under – 3.5, little hop. A good one with all the D but hoppy on everything.

14.933 is into 3rd place, all current medalists within a tenth.

Kovtun – FX – front full to double front, nice form, little hop – front 3/1, deeper today with step forward – 3.5, very nice stick – randi, bounce back – back 2.5 to front lay, high, finds stick – 3/1, chest down, little hop.

14.533 and into 4th

Whitehouse – FX – triple back is hit, little hop back – front 2/1 to double front, really deep landing but stuck it – double front pike, little hop – 2/1, stuck – double double tuck, great stick – back 2.5 to front lay, little hop – 3/1, little bounce. That was excellent.

14.466 comes in for Whitehouse with just 6.3 D score.

GOLD – Yulo
SILVER – Dolgopyat
BRONZE – Jarman

To the intros for the women’s vault final.

Georgieva – VT 1 – DTY is solid, good distance, surprised herself a little on landing with a larger bounce back. 14.100

Georgieva – VT 2 – Tsuk 1.5 is well landing, only a small hop, only a bit of knees. 13.866

13.983 average, about right on qualification.

An – VT 1 – starts with a solidly landed DTY, just a step-salute – some knees and pike and direction. 14.066

An – VT 2 – Cheng is around alive, hop back – lots of knees and not the most amplitude, deepish landing, only a small slide. 14.366

14.216 average and into first.

Olsen – VT 1 – Cheng is around alive, but lands shorter than her usual today, chest down and a hop forward – direction, leg form

Olsen – VT 2 – DTY doesn’t get any kind of block and vaults it to her knees. She can land that vault even with zero amplitude, so you know it was a really rough block. Yeah, really high on the table, and then her hand totally slipped.

Ellie’s like, GOOOD JOBBBBBBB

13.366 average and into 3rd.

Biles – VT 1 – YDP, good one, bounce back, more control than her last one. Very solid. Little bit of direction. 15.700, evaluated a little harsher than earlier in the event for me, though did get the .1 for the OOB.

Biles – VT 2 – Cheng, solid hit, bounce up in place, good distance, also controls the landing pretty well. 14.900

15.300 average.

Black – VT 1 – handspring layout full is good, very small slide back and some knees and pike, solid landing. 14.100

Black – VT 2 – Tsuk 1.5 is also solid in the air, larger lunge forward. 13.766

13.933 average.

Ellie and Shallon chant “we love gymnastics” in unison, which is something that has happened.

Andrade – VT 1 – Cheng is glorious, almost stuck, little movement salute – great in the air. 15.100

Andrade – VT 2 – Amanar, doesn’t go for the triple, but lands the Amanar solidly – a little short, a little shuffle. 14.833

14.966 average and into 2nd obviously.

Yeo – VT 1 – just barely gets the rudi to her feet, short landing with a large lunge forward – don’t think the knee went down, but only just – maybeee? 14.166

Yeo VT 2 – DTY is also a struggle, landed it but then short and goes to hands and knees – definitely not 100% with those vaults

13.416 average.

Carey – VT 1 – Cheng, lands it – little hop back – leg separation on the block and some knees. 14.733 is big. Definitely doesn’t need the Amanar to medal.

Carey – VT 2 – She has posted the Amanar – only does the DTY, which is the right choice, and it’s excellent – small hop back, good height, direction, chest position. 14.200

14.466 average and a bronze medal.

GOLD – Biles
SILVER – Andrade
BRONZE – Carey
