live from the World Cup Final

International Gymnast is posting from Madrid, Spain.

Diego Hypolito won Floor with 16.125, A Score 6.8.

Cheng Fei, as expected, easily won Vault with 15.050.

My man Prashanth Sellathurai from Australia is leading Pommels as I post, but the new Chinese superstar Zhang Hongtao is yet to compete.

UPDATE: Hongtao did win Pommels with an impressive 16.375. Krisztian Berki, HUN was second 16.100. Sellathurai third.

The FIG commentary on the official competition website is also being posted live.

I’m not getting any live video on the host site. I’m seeing some time delayed coverage now. Actually, it’s only Hypolito‘s Floor, the best routine I’ve seen him do. But do we really want routines that long?

He Kexin: 16.250 on Bars, first competitor. She’ll likely win as JIANG Yuyan fell … or did she, IG does not mention it.

UPDATE – Final Results for Bars:

3. Koko Tsurumi JPN 15.250
2. Jiang Yuyan CHN 15.700
1. He Kexin CHN 16.250

From IG on He Kexin:

A big range in B-scores – Australian judge gave her 7.5, while Chilean a 9.0

Australian judges must be VERY careful not to overscore He Kexin after the Olympics, I guess. No doubt the discrepancy is all about the stupid pirouetting in handstand angles.

Final event today: RINGS

3. VAN GELDER Yuri, NED 16.075
2. JOVTCHEV Jordan, BUL 16.150
1 VOROBYOV Olexander, UKR 16.275

Beam, Floor for Women. Vault, P Bars, H Bar for Men go tomorrow.
