Sanne taking surprise dutch gymnastics gold. Wish my mom could have been there to see this.

 

[Lender]

These judges man, why does it take so long?

Enquiry...

Just making sure that the correct points were given for the elements completed.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

WOO! 2-3 USA!!!

I'll take it!

 

[milanbaros]

Misdocumented a difficulty score I think.

Checking the difficulty of the moves were scored correctly.

 

[Koodo]

Sanne had a worthy gold medal performance. Sad about Simone's stumble – but the fact that she medalled anyway despite that stumble, that's power.

 

[MIMIC]

Well, silver/bronze is still good.

 

[Wafflecakes]

2 medals. I can live with it.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

So if the floor goes as expected tomorrow, the US Women's team will finish with 9 OLYMPIC MEDALS. That is NUTS.

Biles: 4 Gold, 1 Bronze
Raisman: 1 Gold, 2 Silver
Kochian: 1 Gold, 1 Silver
Hernandez: 1 Gold, 1 Silver
Douglas; 1 Gold

Some gymnasts do multiple skills in combination to get connection points. But to get the connection there shouldn't be any hesitation between the skills.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell in real time if the skills were connected or not. So if a gymnast doesn't get credited for a connection they can submit an inquiry so the judges have to watch that part again in slow motion to find out.

 

[RastaMentality]

Simone fell and still got bronze. Legends only.

Woo-hoo! Unexpected gold medals are the best ones also, this is the very first gold medal for the Netherlands on the beam!

First medal in gymnastics period.

she didn't fall. the canadian fell, and you can see it in her score.

 

[Wafflecakes]

On beam touching the apparatus with your hand to regain balance is counted as a fall.

Same score for touching beam as for faceplanting on the ground.

 

[Enjolras]

So happy for Laurie, I was so impressed with her in the team events. Shame for Simone, but it was a bad mistake to make.

Onwards and upwards, though!

Also, amazing for Sanne getting the Netherlands a gold medal.

 

[MIMIC]

First medal in gymnastics period.

That's incredible.

 

[John Dunbar]

that's harsh. but in that case i don't think falling is penalised enough.

 

[roytheone]

Didn't epke zonderland won gold 4 years ago?

 

[Wafflecakes]

that's harsh. but in that case i don't think falling is penalised enough.

It was penalized massively.

Simone just has such a higher start value than everyone else that she could absorb it.No other athlete in gymnastics could have gotten on the podium with a fall.


You can't really penalize it more. If you make the penalty for mistakes to harsh the sport with regress with people going to easier elements

No. She was penalized 0.5 instead of a full point.

 

[Palmer_v1]

Grats to Sanne Wevers and the Dutch!

It's fun to see an underdog win. Keeps everyone on their toes.

 

[John Dunbar]

No. She was penalized 0.5 instead of a full point.

i had a feeling that was the case, but i don't know anything about gymnastic so didn't want to argue.

 

[Yiazmat]

The most beautiful routine won! Yay for Sanne.

 

[Wafflecakes]

No. She was penalized 0.5 instead of a full point.

0.5 IS the penalty for a fall.

Plus you lose the value of the element you fell on.

 

[John Dunbar]

0.5 IS the penalty for a fall.

Plus you lose the value of the element you fell on.

the announcer said that penalty for a fall is 1.0.

 

[SamVimes]

I'm almost completely sure a fall is a full point.

 

[Wafflecakes]

the announcer said that penalty for a fall is 1.0.

Your announcer is wrong.

I'm almost completely sure a fall is a full point.

There is no score difference between falling onto the beam (which you get for grabbing it with your hand) or a full fall onto the floor.

 

[Yiazmat]

Sanne calculating her d-score after she missed some connections

 

[John Dunbar]

There is no score difference between falling onto the beam (which you get for grabbing it with your hand) or a full fall onto the floor.

can you post a source on this? reading conflicting stuff on this. here's at least two links that say that there is 1.0 deduction when a gymnast falls at the olympics.

In the Olympics, each gymnast must complete several skills as part of the routine, including dance and artistry essentials. If she fails to complete any of those, a deduction is taken. If the gymnast falls off the apparatus, it's a full-point deduction.

"In the Olympics, the scoring system is all about how much difficulty they can pack into a routine," Michigan's Plocki said.

The code I'm reading says 0.5 for grasping the beam to avoid a fall at page 49 and fall on mat 1.0 at page 29, you can easily find it on google and it's the current one.

 

[darscot]

Not sure where you got that table from but the fig rules state this unless something has changed. A fall is a point as far I have ever known.
– Support on mat/apparatus with 1 or 2 hands each time 1.00
– Fall on mat to knees or hips each time 1.00
– Fall on or against apparatus each time 1.00
– Failure to land feet first on landing from element each time 1.00

Those are the deductions for Floor though. On Beam touching the apparatus is only 0.5, so not a full fall.

No those are the general deductions. It's in the code. Since the section about the beam doesn't contradict it it's safe to say touching is 0.5, falling is 1.

i think you two agree. biles was only deducted .5 because she grasped the beam to avoid a fall, but it would have been 1.00 had she fallen.

Yeah I thought he was disagreeing with darscot but rereading he probably wasn't.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Just watched Sanne's routine. Beautiful combos.

And that was the first Dutch Olympic individual medal for women's gymnastics? Cool stuff!

 

[sphinx]

First medal in gymnastics period.

aren't we forgetting someone?

(as mentioned above)

Yeah, this is right.
