Yulo’s former coach is proud

Even after parting ways with one of his top wards, Japanese coach Munehiro Kugimiya feels proud to see the culmination of his gymnastics partnership with Carlos Yulo …

Kugimiya, who was part of a gymnastics delegation in Paris, watched Yulo live from the venue sidelines, delighted to see his gold-winning performances …

Personal differences led to their breakup, with Yulo telling Rappler back in May: “I feel like I’ve outgrown our relationship.” 

Filipino Aldrin Castañeda has since taken over as Yulo’s coach. …

Kugimiya cited the many individuals and institutions that helped them, including Teikyo Senior High School, Oizumi Swallow Taiiku Club, Tsukahara Gymnastics Center, Tokushukai Gymnastics Club, Japanese Olympic Committee, Japan Gymnastics Association, Teikyo University, and the Japan Embassy.

Rebeca’s triple twisting Yurchenko

Looks ready.

I’ve heard she plans to compete it at the 2024 Swiss Cup Zürich.

Olympic Apparatus Finals 2

Rings

As expected, China dominated Rings as they have for many years now. France narrowly 4th.

1. Liu Yang, China, 15.300
2. Zou Jingyuan, China, 15.233
3. Eleftherios Petrounias, Greece, 15.100
4. Samir Aït Saïd, France, 15.000

Bars

The most anticipated WAG Final did not disappoint. Most agree that Kaylia was the deserving champion. I’d argue she’s the greatest Bars worker of all time.

1. Kaylia Nemour, Algeria, 15.700
2. Qiu Qiyuan, China, 15.500
3. Sunisa Lee, United States, 14.800
4. Nina Derwael, Belgium, 14.766
5. Alice D’Amato, Italy, 14.733

Vault

Everyone’s favourite gymnast, Carlos Yulo, won both Floor and Vault in Paris. He’s a past world champion on both — but the competition was fierce on both in Paris.

1. Carlos Yulo, Philippines, 15.116
2. Artur Davtyan, Armenia, 14.966
3. Harry Hepworth, Great Britain, 14.949

Olympic Vault Champ – Carlos Yulo

An amazing Final.

AND this should put away any discussion of whether or not Yulo should have switched coaches this cycle.

Olympic Vault Final – Simone, Rebeca, Jade

The medalist order most predicted.

No controversy today.

1. Simone Biles, United States, 15.300
2. Rebeca Andrade, Brazil, 14.966
3. Jade Carey, United States, 14.466
4. An Chang Ok, North Korea, 14.216

6. Ellie Black, Canada, 13.933
7. Yeo Seojeong, South Korea, 13.416
8. Shallon Olsen, Canada, 13.366

Yurchenko Double Pike should be valued much higher, in my opinion.

Simone Biles & Mckayla Maroney
