Beam medalists

Mai Murakami 4th. Again. So sad. She had the 3rd highest E-score 7.666.

Very severe judging. Much tougher than any other FIG meet I can recall.

People were shocked at the low scores. FIG needs communicate exactly what’s happening. Or modify deductions so scores fall in line with the other apparatus.

E score on Vault is generous, in comparison.

I felt Tingting’s E score of 7.366 was too low. They may have killed her dismount.

Pauline competed first and still won Gold. I love it when that happens.
