Often the Vault final is a let down. But today’s meet was fierce.
2008 Olympic Champion Hong Un-jong stood up her best Vaults in Nanning to put the pressure on Simone Biles.
1. Hong PRK 15.599
2. Biles USA 15.554
3. Skinner USA 15.366
Simone hit, with higher execution scores, but I’m not unhappy with the final ranking.
North Korea suffers. It’s nice to see them be able to celebrate this one athletic superstar.

STEINGRUBER is a great vaulter, but she’s not been close to her best in Nanning. In the final she opted to compete only STY for her second vault.
