Dalaloyan is European Champion.

Artur Davtyan’s second vault in the final (VIDEO) got an even higher E score. But the TTY was better.

  1. In my opinion, Dalaloyan’s TTY deserved a 9.9 in execution. It was Maroney-esque. During EF’s, the E-scores tended to rise through the rotation. I agree that there was some seriously crazy judging going on. I thought Ferhat Arican was underscored in PB EF. If he didn’t go first, his E-score would have been higher. The unpredictable execution judging makes gymnasts gamble their life and limbs on high D-scores (especially the men during vault EF). The D-score is the only thing they can count on reliably. If the judges don’t want to see dangerous and ugly skills being chucked, then they need to reward good routines and punish bad routines consistently.

    1. The judging has serious problems at the moment. Judges are too concerned about who is performing the routine. People who are from a well known country or who have a name get much more generous scoring than lesser know gymnasts. I went to worlds a few years ago and saw some quite nice routines in qualifications getting E-scores in the 7’s or low 8’s. No idea where the deductions came from, then Zou Kai gets up and displays a horrible mess and gets in the high 8’s. Probably since around 2009 the judging has just been woeful.
