UPDATE: IG is reporting that the hosts “won six out of 10 titles” – Russians Shine Bright in Moscow

International Gymnast has all the qualifying scores to finals.
Diego Hypolito, as is so often the case, led Floor qualifiers with 15.625.
But watch this Finals routine where he took the Silver medal. I’m always shocked that this guy does so well in competition. He is very “beatable” — yet rarely beaten.

Where’s the “Hypolito“?
This is not a very impressive routine to me. I can’t see it in the Olympic Floor final.
American Steven Legendre did not even qualify for the top 15 to U.S. Olympic trials. Yet at VISA Championships the NCAA Floor Champion scored 15.8 from 16.50 — his routine including the best “Hypolito” that’s ever been competed.
Legendre is young. No doubt he’ll make future World Championships Floor finals.
