The biggest surprise of the morning was that these two gymnasts finished GOLD and SILVER on Vault in a competition that has the word “Olympics” on top of the banner.

Vault: 1. Ganbat (MGL) 2. Arican (TUR) 3. Abad (ESP)

… Erdenebold Ganbat took gold in the vault to give Mongolia its most successful result in history. With a handspring double front and a double-twisting Tsukahara, Ganbat edged Turkey’s Ferhat Arican (handspring full to piked front, Tsukahara 2 1/2), 15.650-15.662. Top qualifier Nestor Abad (Spain) won the bronze (15.450). …

How fantastic for those up-and-coming gymnasts, their coaches, their federations.

The absurdly difficult open-ended F.I.G. rules have not slowed the progress of international development on the Men’s side.

Here’s the IG write up on the last day of Artistic competition at the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore:

In the wake of mistake’s from all-around champion Viktoria Komova, China’s Tan Sixin claimed both women’s gold medals Sunday. Tan, the all-around and uneven bars runner-up, was near perfect on balance beam and floor exercise. Tan nailed her acrobatics on beam, including a high two-foot layout to Korbut; switch Yang Bo; front tuck; and a front aerial sheep jump. She took one step to the side on her dismount (ff, ff 2 1/2) to earn 15.550 (6.3/9.25).

Komova appeared tired after victories Thursday in the all-around and on Saturday in the vault and uneven bars. …

Congratulations to IOC, FIG and meet organizers. I’m astonished how smoothly the Artistic discipline has gone. In fact, the Games themselves seem to be a big WIN for Olympic sport.

Clarifying some of the confusing difficulty scores from Singapore …

From A J at the superb THE ALL AROUND blog and Facebook page:

For women:

– F and G skills are credited as Es;
– C dismounts get full credit, B dismounts get .30; A dismounts are .0 (same in MAG)
– in vault Finals, 2 different vaults from the same family allowed
– No more than 2.5 in CR

Although Fs and Gs are capped at .50 difficulty value, there are no caps on the vault values.
