Watanabe – FIG WTC – fix the many mistakes made in Paris

MAG Code 2025-2028

Not 100% confirmed as yet.

But I do think we’ll have 8 elements counting instead of 10.

Coaches will be brainstorming best start scores for their FIG gymnasts.

celebrating Ana, Jordan and Sabrina

Certainly you could argue that any of Jordan Chiles (USA), Ana Barbosu (ROM) and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea (ROM) could have won the Bronze medal on Floor at the Olympics.

It was close.

All excellent routines.

Sadly, judging errors were made by the FIG.

The FIG system for making an appeal is neither clear nor fair in 2024.

It seemed to me that the Court of Arbitration for Sport made a decision too quickly and without doing enough research. That should be reviewed.

In the end, Ana Barbosu is in the record books with the Bronze medal.

The entire “Paris Floor Bronze Debacle” ending an otherwise excellent Olympics on a very sour note. It’s one of the things the general public will remember — along with that Pommel Horse guy.

If the debacle had not happened, we’d be celebrating the return of Romania as Olympic medal contenders. That famous program is finally turned around.

Congratulations.

reducing the number of Wolf Turns

There are far too many Wolf Turns. Far too many not done nearly as well as THIS.

HOW ‘BOUT … Wolf Turns required to be leg above horizontal? 😀

FIG WTC got the Adalsteinsdottir value wrong

It’s the same value as Comăneci release.

Hardy Fink — former FIG MTC Chair — feels it should have been continued as two separate skills.

Hashimoto Daiki – E score H Bar

Many times gymnasts get away with bent knees on the bottom of swings.

NOT this time. 😀

wrong scores at Rhythmic World Cup Athens

LAUSANNE (SUI), FIG Office, 14 May 2024

Irregularities in scoring system at 2024 RG World Cup in Palaio Faliro, Athens (GRE)

An internal review of the results book submitted for the above-mentioned competition highlighted an error in the scoring system which led to the scores given by the A1 and E1 judges being inversed for the Individual Clubs and Ribbon qualification events.

As a result, the qualification ranking for these events was incorrect, which in turn meant that the finalists were not correct. Consequently, the World Cup ranking published after the event was also incorrect. All results for this event were therefore removed from the FIG website.

After a careful review, the FIG has now published the correct results for this event and updated the World Cup ranking accordingly to reflect the correct results.

Please note that the scoring provider for this event, “Best Solutions International, Computer Systems & Software” (BUL), has been notified that the FIG will not accept it as a scoring and results partner for any FIG approved/sanctioned events until further notice. We therefore kindly ask you to respect this decision and strongly recommend you not to use the services of “Best Solutions International” for any of your national or other competitions.
