Shallon Olsen – Vault
Last year’s silver medalist — currently training at Alabama — look likely to qualify to the final. She’s in 2nd position half way through the qualification round.
As Canadians had NO legal way to watch their team — WHY can’t FIG figure this out? — Gymnastics Canada is posting routines on their YouTube channel.

YEO Seojeong – Qualifications Vault
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.

inspirational gymnast Ronny Ziesmer
The 2003 German AA national champion Ronny Ziesmer was paralyzed training Tsuk double back preparing for the Athens Olympics.
I was reminded of Ronny’s story watching the far-too-dangerous Vault landings at Worlds in Stuttgart. Obviously the rules should be changed so there is less incentive in chucking BIG difficulty vaults.
Is Ronny coming to Worlds?
* Ronny Ziesmer founded the “Alliance of Hope Foundation” which supports the worldwide research in the field of regeneration of nerve cells in the spinal cord. Patron of the Foundation, the German Federal Chancellor, Dr. Angela Merkel.
* Ronny Ziesmer started three times at the Berlin Marathon (2009, 2010, 2011) in the handbike. His goal is to attend the 2016 Paralympics.
* Just now in October 2011 Ronny Ziesmer has just completed a very successful study of biotechnology at the German “University Lausitz” in Senftenberg (near his hometown Cottbus) as a “Bachelor of Science”.
* Ronny Ziesmer is also working for the biggest European and German TV station “ZDF” as a co-commentator for the artistic gymnastic events like worlds, Europeans or Olympic Games.

Vault – Jade vs MyKayla
LIVE I thought MyKayla was slightly better than Jade in podium training.
But watching slow motion on YouTube I’m thinking Jade would score higher.

Biles Vault – ‘we are not worthy’
Though Simone didn’t mention it at the Press Conference, she decided to do one last vault in podium training.
Amazing. She sets so long!
Any male gymnast would be thrilled to do it this well.
Very few can do this vault at all.
