full results
Dipa’s Handspring double front was better than in the prelims. Definitely not a zero vault.
Under current FIG rules I’d say the ranking of the top 3 was fair. WTC did not address how to more severely evaluate dangerous deep landings. They should. There is too much incentive to “chuck” the Prudnova.
That said, Dipa is great on this apparatus. Her 2nd Kasamatsu (like Tsuk double twist) was one of the best vaults at Test Meet.
Dipa will inspire many tens of thousands of kids to try the sport.
