The judges deliberated long before awarding:

13.966 = D score : 6.0, E score : 7.966

Not Vanessa’s best routine. Yet.

But I’m happy to see her back in the Floor Final at Worlds. The same final she deserved to win in 2010.

I’d almost credit that back tuck as connected.

Not many human beings can consistently, accurately assess multiple angles like this from where judges are seated.

I have not much faith in the Execution panels at Worlds.

They are guessing.

Computer assistance is easily and inexpensively available.

FIG should be piloting studies on how this could be implemented. Rhythmic needs it most.

Her Vaults still seem IMPOSSIBLE to me. So HIGH.

WOW

FIG Official — 2013 Artistic Worlds, Antwerp (BEL). McKayla Maroney (USA), qualifications, 1st Vault : 15.850 (D score : 6.30, E score : 9.55), 2nd Vault : 15.433 (D score : 6.00, E score : 9.433). Average : 15.641. Provisory best score for the 2011 World Queen in Vault

Compare that Amanar with Simone Biles’ 9.70 E score.

Who do I know of the Vault Execution judges? 🙂

In this case it doesn’t matter. But when I’m responsible for an apparatus, and my judges get the top gymnasts E score wrong, I call them in.

No complaints, for a change.

First place, so far. Difficult and very well done.

15.266 = D score : 6.40, E score : 8.866

Impressive as she had a LONG wait before competing. And did not HIT Bars perfectly.

I love Aliya. But if this routine gets through to Finals … #WChAntwerp

Compare the E score against that of Kyla Ross.

2013 Artistic Worlds, Antwerp (BEL). #WChAntwerp

qualifications

1st Vault : 15.900 (D score : 6.30, E score : 9.60)

2nd Vault : 15.200 (D score : 5.60, E score : 9.60).

Average : 15.550. Provisory best score in Vault. The American finished her all-around competition with 60.133 pts. Provisory 1st also.

The best vaults by far. But clearly 9.60 is far too high for the Amanar. Her second vault was superior.

AA so far …

S Biles 60.133
K Ross 59.198
Y Jinnan 57.965

LIVE score by Longines is NOT working for many. Their APP, for example, will not load on modern Apple computers.
