Though she warmed-up the Handspring front 2/1 twist in podium, Yeo didn’t need it to qualify through to the Vault final.
She was playing safe, trying to help the team score.

Jorge Vega Lopez – Podium vault
I am always impressed with Jorge’s attention to detail. And landings. He could make the final.

Jorge won Guatemala’s first ever gold medal in gymnastics at the Pan American Games in Toronto 2015.
He’s a celebrity back home.

Oksana’s Rudi
Best for 17 years or more?
Sadly she put a hand down on vault 2 and is unlikely to qualify for the apparatus final.

Very cool. And well done.
Great routine, too. But Emelie did have a fall.

Gymnastics and negative social media
some FANS are FANatics.
Fans experience euphoria during moments when play is going well for their team, and stress when play is going against their team. This tension between the two emotions generates an unusual sense of pleasure or heightened sensations. …
The more fans a sport has, the greater the number of haters, people who mostly participate in negative ways.
The sport of Figure Skating, I believe, has more haters than Gymnastics. Hiking far fewer.
We have a lot of young athletes, so it’s even more important to protect.
Best strategy is to BLOCK trolls when you first encounter them. Don’t engage — that’s what they want. Live in a social media bubble of people you like and respect. Ask your athletes to do the same.
When I think of FANatics I recall the 1996 film where Robert De Niro (the fan) is obsessed with baseball player Wesley Snipes.
Fandom to the extreme.

Danusia Francis – Beam
Decided to compete the skill named for Spanish-Canadian Silvia Colussi Pelaez. And tries to connect it to a full twist dismount.
Note that FIG does not allow any extra landing mats for sideways dismounts. The short mat makes it risky for Nush to try to connect. That discourages originality.

Danusia had an excellent AA competition and stands a good chance to qualify as an individual.
