@Sindo also must be so happy that thought to rename the forum as tottalgymnastics

After watching Melanie de Jesus dos Santos' floor routines, I'm baffled at how much overscored she is. It's like they threw the Code of Point out of the window just to score her floor with an unrealistic execution. Her first tumbling pass alone has been credited as worth 0.7, but in every single document regarding execution and attribution of difficulty scores, it is stated that it should be downgraded to 0.5. It might seem like it's not much, but this makes a HUGE difference, especially in the final. I'm disgusted.

Just caught up with the men's team final.... deserved win for Russia, they were solid across the board today and sealed it with Dalaloyan and Nagorniy nailing their high bar routines.

 

Zou Jingyuan's P Bars routine.... what a thing of beauty!!

Cintia Rodriguez presented a floor routine with a difficulty score of 4.4. Not even junior gymnasts are expected to go this low. How did she even qualify for the all-around final?

[thiago_simoes 1,441]

Black 14.000 on beam. Ugh. Just... nope.

Moors 13.566 on floor. Why? She deserves more! It's unacceptable that she scores so low while Nina Derwael, of all people, qualified to the finals (instead of Moors).

I'm done watching. I'll rant forever if I keep watching this awful display of bad gymnastics getting high scores, and good gymnastics being underscored.

[thiago_simoes 1,441]

Melnikova incredibly overscored on beam. Russians are being very favored here. Still, I'm okay with Melnikova winning a medal instead of Derwael. Besides bars, there's nothing else nice to say about Derwael. She is not an all-arounder who should be so close to a medal. This is absurd!

I predicted RUS Japan CHINA

[thiago_simoes 1,441]

As I predicted, Melnikova won a medal with unrealistic scores, but I'm okay with a medal for her instead of Nina and Black, who were also extremely overscored.

I'm worried about Black missing out beam finals now. I hope she's okay.

I know I'm very, very salty today, but Derwael just cannot be scored like that. It's insane, it's unfair to the other gymnasts. 

And Biles is as artistic as a cauliflower.

That's me being salty and mean. Yeah.
