Qin Xinyi – Double Pike

I trust video AI judging to catch flexed feet on Double Pike much more than human judges.

Cheng Fei – Floor

My favourite ever Chinese gymnast.

Aside from excellent form and technique β€”Β Cheng Fei was dominant in an era where coaches around the world considered it impossible for Chinese gymnasts to be strong on Vault and Tumbling.

Watanabe – FIG WTC – fix the many mistakes made in Paris

celebrating Ana, Jordan and Sabrina

Certainly you could argue that any of Jordan Chiles (USA), Ana Barbosu (ROM) and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea (ROM) could have won the Bronze medal on Floor at the Olympics.

It was close.

All excellent routines.

Sadly, judging errors were made by the FIG.

The FIG system for making an appeal is neither clear nor fair in 2024.

It seemed to me that the Court of Arbitration for Sport made a decision too quickly and without doing enough research. That should be reviewed.

In the end, Ana Barbosu is in the record books with the Bronze medal.

The entire “Paris Floor Bronze Debacle” ending an otherwise excellent Olympics on a very sour note. It’s one of the things the general public will remember β€”Β along with that Pommel Horse guy.

If the debacle had not happened, we’d be celebrating the return of Romania as Olympic medal contenders. That famous program is finally turned around.

Congratulations.
