Seojeong Yeo – Vault
Amazing. How does a human being that small generate so much power off a HARD FIG Spring Board?
The Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist.
Perhaps she’ll use her eponymous Yeo (5.8) — handspring layout double twist in the Final. I doubt she’d need it for the silver medal, however.
Hillary Heron from Panama
The first flight of women’s Gymnastics qualifications was wonderful. Italy. Netherlands.
But the biggest excitement was generated by a gymnast I didn’t know.
Her Rudi Vault was even better. Stuck.
Mahdi Olfati – YDP Vault
Iranian Mahdi Olfati won the 1st Gymnastics medal in Asian Games history. Silver on Vault.
We want a showdown …
Mahdi vs Simone.
Simone’s form is better. But Mahdi might have more total height / distance relative to their respective heights and table height.

Tanigawa Wataru – Asian Games Vault champ
Wow.
Simone’s Yurchenko Double Pikes
Podium training.
Very good spotting, as well. He’s ready in case of under-rotation.

Simone’s YDP = 6.4 difficulty
FIG WTC has been hilariously bad at rating new skills in the past.
But they got Simone’s Vault difficulty correctly rated at 6.4.
