Cheng Fei – Olympic medal despite fall

It’s official.

We are as bad as Figure Skating.

You can win a medal with a full fall.

… Cheng Fei next… almost stuck the 2 1/2 a beautiful vault. 6.5/9.575. Second vault – Cheng – She put her knees down and then her hands. She just cannot do that vault all the time What a shame. She was just a little short on the landing and couldn’t step forward. 6.5/8.55 Average 15.562… ahead of Alicia, that was a surprise….

Her second vault was really, really bad. With a fall. And she still won the Bronze medal.

I’m not saying the judging was bad. … But I wish it had gone the other way and Cheng Fei had finished 4th.

I’ll post that video when I find a link to it.
