The Russians are probably fuming of anger that someone else dared to win in their own sport. The "offending" judges may expect a nice package in the mail with some polonium (a la Litvinenko) or Novichok (a la Skripal)....           
 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.  WOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
מלכה!!!!!!!!!!!
 
 
 
 

What a historic Olympics from top to bottom for

Inquiry rejected, gold for Israel

Linoy with 1 points of advantage

Amazing routine for Ashram, amazing! 

It only impacts the start list. She will be one of the last to start.
 
Everyone starts on 0 penalties.

If I hadn't seen this race I'd swear you made a typo and meant 46.94 + 47.17 and 47.72  

Reaction of Jade Barbosa and Dani Hypolito with Rebeca's gold.
 

So, Medal.
 
The most surprising medal in sport hitory of Slovakia, I assume. No one absolutely no one expected this, I believe even not Rory himself, especially after yesterdays disaster.
 
But an absolutely amazing OR of 61 in a single day catapulted him to an absolutely unbelievable silver medal.
 
Very well done and congrats Rory.
 
 
Medal number 31 for in SOG history since the independence, 14th silver
 
(10 - 14 - 7)
 
Obviously first ever Golf medal. Golf is now the 8th sport in which the country medalled at the summer Olympics since our first appearance in 1996.
 
Also mentionworthy this was the Slovak debut in this sport and it ended by a medal.

I understand your frustration, but it all comes down to what the Code of Points considers good execution.

You see, in every skill we have to consider how cleanly it's performed in the air (legs glued together, toes pointed, clear body position in the air, great height and amplitude) and how well it is landed. One small step or small hop deducts -0.1, a medium/big step or hop deducts -0.3.

Yeo had the hardest vault of the competition, worth 6.2, and she needs massive speed and air time to get it fully rotated, which she does. The deductions on landing, apart from steps and hops, also consider deep landings (up to -0.5 in deductions), but her landing was not that deep and probably avoided a bigger deduction. If the gymnast lands with her chest down, the deductions could be -0.1, -0.3 or -0.5. Moreno unfortunately loses -0.3 to -0.5 due to her low chest position. Her form in the air is also not as tidy as Yeo's, and her vaults are not that high. Deductions for the height of the vault can be massive, up to -0.8!
 
There are lots of things to be balanced. That's why I mentioned that  Zapata has poor execution, despite great landings today, because his body shape and leg positions are usually not good. Even so, he lost little to no tenths on landings and got a medal.  Dolgopyat has much cleaner body shape in the air and even though some of his landings were not great, he still managed to lose as little as 0.1 in landings.

Take  Andrade for example: she only loses 0.2 (0.1 for each hop) on the landing of her second vault. It doesn't look good for us, of course, and one can imagine she will be deducted a lot more, but the Code of Points only allows for a 0.2 deduction (plus small 0.1 deductions for things like deviation from a straight line and so on). When it comes to the more hefty deductions like height and dynamics of the vault,  Skinner loses a lot while Andrade loses very little. This is also the same for  Yeo and  Moreno.

First ever medals in artistic gymnastics for  and  today, first ever for a female gymnast for  and first ever gold medal for a female gymnast for .

How I wish  could have been there...

,  and  can still join. And  can get its first ever gold medal in a few minutes.

Rooting for Rhys Mcclenaghan here, as I love his content on YouTube.
