Zhang said she was satisfied with her performance. “I would give myself 95 out of 100 today,” she said.

“My goal was to do my routines as I trained them. I didn’t expect to make the podium, so this result really motivates me for future competitions.”

An amazing Bronze medal, considering she only competes a Kasamatu vault with average execution.

Well … quite a poor All-around Final, I must say. How many gymnasts had zero falls?

How many fell on Wolf turn?

Disappointing after the excellent Men’s Final the previous night.

Leanne Wong had an excellent meet. Many were doubting her Cheng Vault (including me) — and she proved the haters wrong. It was fairly good, putting her back in medal contention.

Gold was decided on the very last routine — Angelina on Floor. Fans will be criticizing the judges on that score for years to come. Did they get the Out of Bounds deduction wrong? Were the turns evaluated correctly?

Controversial.

Judging at Worlds was better than ever, I felt. But E-scores are too close together. A routine far superior in every way will only get, perhaps, 0.2 higher than the average routine.

How long do we have to wait before FIG compares our human judging D-panels with Fujitsu Gymnastics Judging Support System video analysis?

Very cool.

IF this works in real time, we are not far off having video analysis checking D-score of judges. They should be flagged instantly if Fujitsu disagrees.

I’m sure E-score is much further off. But is possible with A.I.

Kaliya short handstands

Greatest Bars all time. Not over-scored.

BUT most of her straight body Cast Handstands should be deducted.

I’d recommend she use Straddle Cast instead, for one or more. Less chance of deduction.
