On a Dutch forum people are saying they're hearing rumours of Andrade doing an Amanar, which would apparently add quite some points to the difficulty score (I know the term, but of course am not familiar with exactly what it is). Also saying that her second sprong then might have a Cheng, whatever that may be, but it sounds difficult. Related to what we will understand on Sunday? thiago_simoes and Laraja 1 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

pdr4332 149 Posted July 31, 2021 #372 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I wanted to watch the womens vault anyway, but even more with this. Go Andrade, go! vinipereira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she performs these two vaults, than yes, she'll probably win a medal, but gold is far from guaranteed since (I think) Jade Carey also has two very difficult vaults (and so does Skinner). Execution will be key. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gymnastics podcast I listen to says that based on current form they think Andrade is the favourite on the vault. Very far from a lock though. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,167 Posted July 31, 2021 #375 Share Posted July 31, 2021 There are also no such thing as a lock in an individual apparatus event. Just ask McKayla Maroney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Execution will be key. I don't know why people are crazy over Skinner. I believe Yeo Seo-jeong will win the bronze medal, or maybe even Moreno or Olsen. Even Melnikova wouldn't be a surprise. Of course, Skinner is a huge threat for a medal, but Yeo will improve her difficulty and could very well even fight for the gold medal if she hits.
