Olympic Champ Kaylia Nemour, Algeria

Does Kaylia EVER miss.

So great. So consistent.

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.

The medalist order most predicted.

No controversy today.

3. Jade Carey, United States, 14.466
4. An Chang Ok, North Korea, 14.216

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

2. Artem Dolgopyat, Israel, 14.966
3. Jake Jarman, Great Britain, 14.933

Judges will be arguing the rank order of the top three — look at those scores!

Personally, I’m happy to see Yulo and Philippines leave Paris with a Gold medal.
