Mai Murakami 4th. Again. So sad. She had the 3rd highest E-score 7.666.
Very severe judging. Much tougher than any other FIG meet I can recall.
People were shocked at the low scores. FIG needs communicate exactly what’s happening. Or modify deductions so scores fall in line with the other apparatus.
E score on Vault is generous, in comparison.
I felt Tingting’s E score of 7.366 was too low. They may have killed her dismount.
Pauline competed first and still won Gold. I love it when that happens.
#MTL2017GYM Vault Final
Sadly the 2012 Olympic Vault champion withdrew from the final. Yang Hak-seon has had a lot of injuries over the years. Dalaloyan was added.
Kenzo near stuck Yurchenko triple twist. Time to spot and untilt before landing. Made it look easy. Opted not to do his 3 1/2 with Hak-seon out..
1. Shirai Kenzo JPN 14.900
2. Radivilov Igor UKR 14.899
3. Kim Hansol KOR 14.766

The highlight vault was Igor’s stuck Dragulescu. Zero landing deduction from this MAG judge. The top two virtually tied. (Igor actually had 14.8995, but the FIG truncates the results.) E-score over D-score this time around.
Kim correctly took the Bronze.
It was close between legend Dragulescu (4th) and my man Jorge Vega Lopez (5th) from Guatemala. Most armchair pundits had Jorge slightly ahead.
There were only 3 super dangerous landings out of 16 total. That’s good for an FIG final these days. It’s Russian Roulette with FIG rules providing too much incentive for risky vaults.

Okasana is judging Vault here I understand.
Oksana Chusovitina (Uzbekistan) and Aljaž Pegan (Slovenia) were elected to the FIG Athletes Commission on Friday at the world championships in Montreal. …
Chusovitina succeeds Great Britain’s Beth Tweddle, who was elected after the 2012 Olympics in London. Pegan takes over (from) Jani Tanskanen (Finland) …
At the rhythmic world championships in September, Lyubov Charkashyna (Belarus) was re-elected to be the FIG Athlete Representative …
One issue Oksana will bring to the table is minutes per apparatus allowed / routine during podium training. Athletes and coaches were vocal in their concern that not enough time was allowed to safely get used to the competition apparatus.
The podium apparatus sat empty for much of every day. More time could easily be allowed.
