thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted October 15, 2021 #21 Share Posted October 15, 2021 So, Murakami will not perform on vault and bars, and Andrade will not perform on floor. The all-around title is pretty open right now, with Melnikova the clear favorite. I'm still awaiting confirmation but it looks like only three girls performed two vaults during podium training. Geurts and QiQi are clear favorites for the podium now, along with Andrade. Not sure if Melnikova will perform 2 vaults, but this looks more and more unlikely now.

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted October 16, 2021 #22 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Reports from and indicate that the World Championships are poorly organized. I asked for the start lists because we literally have no clue who is going to perform where, but no answer from FIG as of yet. Only one gymnastics blog reported on podium training because basically all international media was forbidden to report from the arena. There will be no live streaming of the qualifications anywhere, according to the FIG. The routines from qualification will be uploaded to the YouTube channel after the competition. It's literally impossible to get information about anything relevant as of now. Even predicting who is going to medal is not feasible without the start lists. I'm really, really, really frustrated. dcro and Gianlu33 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted October 18, 2021 #23 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Oof. A very shaky start. Qi Qi counted a fall on both vaults. No final for her, and here I thought she was almost assured of a medal. Wide open door for Geurts and Devillard now, and Asia D'Amato. Also, decent chances for and to reach the final. Wei Xiaoyuan had a terrible all-around competition, only performing well on the uneven bars and vault, though her execution and difficulty are not good on vault. But on bars she had a huge score and can even become the world champion if she repeats this. Li Shijia was the clear favorite for balance beam gold, but she will not make the final. Luo had a huge score and could be the champion here, quite easily, if she repeats this in the final. I blame the terrible quality of the equipment for scores so low on floor and vault. This is not normal. No other noteworthy performances, though. Ofir had a decent 13.516 average on vault but this will not be enough for a final. Maybe a place in the top 12, with some luck.

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted October 18, 2021 #24 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Scores on floor are still abysmally low. I told you this floor equipment is the worst in the world... Anyway, Geurts is almost guaranteed to make vault final and this should be more than enough for, at least, a bronze medal. Only Devillard, Melnikova and Andrade could challenge her, but I don't think Devillard will score more than 14.2. D'Amato with 13.8, a little bit lower than I anticipated for her but this should still be enough for the final. I guess this will be enough for 6th or 7th, or maybe 8th. Downie with a disappointing score on the uneven bars. Probably not enough for a final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Gymnastics podcast I posted here during the Olympics (not even kidding) xD They also have a bunch of horror stories about the organization, apparently there have been a lot of issues around athletes (and them) getting food. Especially true for people with dietary restrictions. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,499 Posted October 18, 2021 #26 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It's been going on for five hours and not even Wikipedia has any results yet, then you know it's bad Where are provisional intermediate results supposed to be? 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!

IoNuTzZ 289 Posted October 18, 2021 #28 Share Posted October 18, 2021 13.300 on floor for Ceplinschi, good start for her and i think we can have an all around final again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IoNuTzZ 289 Posted October 18, 2021 #29 Share Posted October 18, 2021 16th place for Maria, a fall on UB and a fall on beam with only 11.066 but overall a very good competition for her. She is now on 5th place in floor and she has a really big chance to a place in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really interesting to read analysis from a person who is into it. It will also helps me to watch finals But situation with quality of this competition is really bad and I suppose they will not fix the equipment issue in the future... thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
