The right podium, I’d say, though I’d love to have seen Shang take home a medal. Those are critically important in China.
FIG WTC should devalue the piked Stalder as did the men a few years ago. The big release routines should be winning. They are – in reality – much more difficult.
Pommels: Whitlock, Smith, Naddour
1. Whitlock: 15.966
2. Smith: 15.833
3. Naddour: 15.700

Belyavskiy 15.4
Kuksenkov 15.233
Merdinyan 14.933
Verniaiev 12.4
I feel good for Alex Naddour. And for USA. He was fortunate today, however, to hang on to the Bronze.
The three least stretched circles are on the podium. Seems extension is not the priority of FIG MTC.
The new normal. No Chinese gymnasts in the Pommel final.
Vault: Biles, Paseka, Steingrueber
Yet another Olympic Gold medal for Simone Biles. Well deserved.
1. Simone Biles 🇺🇸 15,966

6. Hong 14.9
7. Chusovitina 14.833
8. Olsen 14.816

Clearly FIG rules reward difficulty too much relative to execution. There’s too much incentive to chuck double fronts and Yurchenko triple twist despite a very low chance of landing safely. I’m embarrassed for FIG WTC. The E-score judges are ranking, not judging. Ranking in a very small range.
Floor: Whitlock, Hypolito, Mariano
1 Whitlock 15.633
2 Hypolito 15.533
3 Mariano 15.433
4 Kenzo 15.366
5 Uchimura 15.241
6 Dalton 15.133
This is fantastic for Gymnastics in the host nation. Fantastic for the sport in South America.
And fantastic for GBR. Congratulations Max.
How many years ago would you have been laughed at for predicting GBR and BRA would win all 3 medals on FX at Olympics? 🙂
That said, overall it was a disappointing final. Some of the best guys in the world competed below average routines. Kenzo was as sure a lock for the Gold on this apparatus as we had in Rio.
good luck Gabby
She’s got an excellent chance in the Bars final today. Great handstands. Smart routine construction.
An Olympic Gold medalist has every reason to retire. Yet she came back for Rio. #respect

It’s great to see Jessica Lopez in the final. There is not any active international gymnast who has competed more often than JLo.
