Automatically a Zero Score

Go Katelyn. !!

Damn. Harsh.

I am utterly ignorant, but I would think that an injury would be an exception to allow a substitue,

some of those rules are just flat-out dumb as hell. Who came up with these idiotic things?

what’s the purpose of that last rule about touching the board? just feels like a cheap way to refuse someone a second attempt

I like how all of theses were vaults

...slided... lol

I don’t see why the rules are made so that even if you make a perfect first vault - if you don’t succeed the second vault - then the end result is just zero.
It seems very demotivating. I mean if you for instance get a nice 15,0 in your first vault and zero in the second. You won’t have a chance to win anything but at least you can be proud of your first vault. - and then get 7,5 as a score.

Gönnerhafter Klugschei..kommentator.

Heart breaking to get so far being a Olympicial to get a zero..That's harsh.😰

If you get injured, or if you did something to avoid an injury, who cares if you get a zero because of it?!

Khorkin’s vault settings were wrong, and she was pissed. Thats’ why she didnt’ go. I was there.

Vaults should be removed from competition. They are so dangerous

Zero because the red light was on? No wonder I avoid any sport with 'judges'. They sit and huff each other's farts so long they start to feel as important as the actual athletes.

So when did the change the springboard???

Valet is sooooo hard for me it’s my worst

Slided?

That diss to the first one, "Even though he got a 0, and the team scored last place, the rest of the team sucked too so it didn't matter what he got they'd still be last"

Is there a reason you singled out Russia, Romania and China? Why no Americans?

The competition is for vaulting, not sort-of vaulting. The vault has a description, if you meet it completely then your technical score is perfect. If, however, you diverge in some minor way, then you lost points. If you foul it up seriously (which can cause injury) then you've not performed the vault, and so get zilch. Just turning up doesn't count, this isn't high school.
If I went to a five-star restaurant and were served a bottled béchamel, I'd give them a zero, likewise if it missed the pepper, but if I went into the local McD and asked them, I'd deservedly get a wtf reaction. Are you 5-star or a takeaway?

The Vault is complete stupidity. Whoever decided that running down a track as fast as possible, then flipping head over heels and stop on a dime needs their head examined, to see if they have any brains. It should be Banned!

That's fair.

Why didn't you say who they were competing for in most of these?

So they'd rather risk them injury and do it in a wrong way? Good job for the lady that didn't risk her health.

Also poor guy he ate the mat 😣
And the other girl with the knee injury

I also admire the girl that didn't do the 2nd one bc she knew she wasn't getting a medal, that's smart and not risking an injury

These guys are simply amatuers, consistency is key.
I'd get a zero EVERY TIME, if only they would let me!!!

And your point is?

What's the problem?

Well she got injured. Big difference

I remember once when my brother got a negotiate score

A lot of These rules feel strenge or arbitrairy

This video is evidence that the standards in gymnastics are constantly restructuring... but that safety in the sport needs to have a magnifying lens put onto it.

Even on a gym mat, these look very painful. I cannot watch. I know what pain is. I've gotten bucked off of horses on my back before. Ouch

Wait a minute. I thought everyone gets a trophy.

Which code is this? The last time I looked at the code there was a mercy score of 1.00 but it could be different in some sort of FIG code

They deserve all the zero.

I wish for vault finals they would simply give them a DNF and disqualify them rather than giving them a zero. It doesn’t change the outcome but it seems more dignified and respectful to the injured athlete to me

I have noticed some cannot control their vaults as the never learned to" Catch" themselves. Therefore no control on a landing. Should have had Nadias and Ulgas coaches but reall it may not have helped . The girls today are too heavy and ungraceful.

This is so sad. You can tell in your run up if something is off. In training you would pull up or run out. It is dangerous to continue to run headlong towards an imoveable object if you know you are out of step. They should be allowed one false start. This is how injuries happen.

0k so btw boys DONT HAVE 2 VAULTS ALSO ON MENGS U SAID ON HER SECEND VAULT SO THEY WOULD JUST COUNT THERE 1ST

devastating for them all but I’m just happy they didn’t get hurt

"slided" lol

I remember Anna Pavlova and her fault.

He slid not slided whatever that means.

I understand rules to keep gymnasts safe but gymnastics has TOO many rules. Wish they’d let it up a bit. Let gymnasts have more creative freedom.

Is it really necessary to point out peoples failures? Good lord these folks have fought struggled trained without mercy for YEARS to get to the Olympics. Let’s empower them instead of highlighting where they messed up.

Meng Fei was not intending to compete the compulsory vault as it would be an automatic zero. The compulsory vault was a piked Tsukahara. She flashed the number for the LAYOUT Tsukahara but it was downgraded to a pike by the judges and of course awarded a zero. This was from the period of time that you qualified to vault finals with the compulsory vault and optional vault score (best score of two vaults). Several vaulters made it to vault finals over those years and didn;t have a strong second vault from a different vault family.

I missed seeing the Russian athletes in Paris. The Olympics just doesn't seem like the Olympics without them.
