Key occasions

Oka is so constant. He had a 14.533 in qualifying. He lands a 14.533 right here. That’s 5.9 issue and eight.633 execution.

Now up: Colombia’s Angel Barajas. He’s 17 and could have the best issue scores if he isn’t pressured to alter it up on the fly.

Shinnosuke Oka took gold within the all-around, gold within the staff occasion and bronze within the parallel bars. He barely catches the bar after a twisting aerial trick. He flings himself round and round, then sticks the touchdown.

OK, so Tang isn’t going to take gold …

The carnage continues.

Tang Chia-Hung is within the midst of a wide ranging routine, however he misses a catch and lands on the mat as if a professional wrestler body-slammed him.

However he returns to tug off an excellent transfer, flinging himself excessive off the bar and twisting twice earlier than catching it once more. His dismount is flawless.

NBC’s commentators say he’s out of the working, however the best way issues are entering into Bercy Area at this time, who’s to say all eight gymnasts right here gained’t fall? I’m probably not kidding.

Rating is 13.966.

Males’s horizontal bar lineup

China has an excellent probability of extending its lead within the medal rely. Gold medals, that’s – the USA’s lead in whole medals is nearly unassailable.

Qualification scores have been:

15.133 Zhang Boheng (CHN)
14.933 Tang Chia-Hung (TPE)
14.733 Takaaki Sugino (JPN)
14.600 Tin Srbic (CRO)
14.533 Shinnosuke Oka (JPN)
14.466 Angel Barajas (COL)
14.400 Su Weide (CHN)
14.366 Marios Georgiou (CYP)

Su had a pair of expensive falls within the staff occasion. Zhang posted a 14.733. Sugina was at 14.566. Oka had a 14.433. The opposite 4 weren’t in it.

Solely two of those gymnasts have been within the all-around, and their scores have been decrease – Zhang at 14.633, Oka at 14.500.

Let’s verify the issue scores …

D’Amato 5.8
Zhou 6.6
Esposito 5.8
Andrade 5.7 – she will need to have actually downsized from her earlier routines. It was 6.1 within the staff occasion and the all-around. With a 6.1, she would’ve had a complete rating of 14.333, simply behind d’Amato.

Biles and Lee had difficulties of 6.2, even with falls that interrupted a few of what that they had deliberate.

OK, onward …

Alice d’Amato wins steadiness beam gold

What … simply … occurred?

That’s surprising!

It’s a 13.933 for Andrade, as judges one way or the other discovered one thing.

Good for d’Amato, however … actually???!!!

GOLD: Alice d’Amato (Italy), 14.366
SILVER: Zhou Yaqin (China), 14.100
BRONZE: Manila Esposito (Italy), 14.000

Between the falls by Biles, Lee, Soares and Maneca-Voinea, the interminable waits for scores, and no matter they discovered to deduct from worthy winner Andrade, allow us to by no means converse of this competitors once more.

No, that’s not truthful to d’Amato. It’s a golden second for Italy. However of our 4 favorites, three faltered (Zhou managed to keep away from falling however put each palms on the beam) and one … what occurred?

So, whereas we anticipate Andrade’s scores, we could watch a few films?

Biles applauds. She and Andrade are the friendliest of rivals, and Biles would certainly be completely completely satisfied to see the Brazilian take gold if she will be able to’t have it herself.

That is it. Land the dismount for gold.

Good.

Laurie Hernandez is hedging her bets. However certainly …

Rebeca Andrade strikes with the class and athleticism of Biles. She’s merely very good. A few of her landings appears barely off-center.

The group feels like everybody within the area is holding their breath.

Rebeca Andrade has one gold medal in her glittering profession – the vault in Tokyo. She has two straight silvers within the all-around behind Lee in Tokyo and Biles right here. She additionally has a silver within the vault and bronze within the staff occasion in Paris. A gold medal is in her grasp right here.

Biles is getting indignant as she waits a very long time for her rating. Somebody hints that it is perhaps for “TV time.” NBC is not at industrial, so don’t blame US broadcasters.

Please get on with it …

Individuals within the crowd are furiously yelling numerous incomprehensible issues.

Biles seems able to destroy somebody on social media.

Lastly – 13.100. Fourth. Couldn’t have anticipated any extra.

NOW we’ll get Andrade to wrap up an unpleasant competitors with a variety of falls, stumbles and interminable waits …

It’s a giant dismount for Biles, however she strides away with nary a smile.

She might nonetheless get within the excessive 13s, however she gained’t crack the rostrum.

Solely Rebeca Andrade stands between Alice d’Amato and a surprising gold for Italy.

Biles’ spins are inconceivable to explain. There’s a mastery we simply don’t see elsewhere …

… and he or she simply fell.

In case you’re obsessing over the USA-China race within the gold medal standings, excellent news for US followers – China won’t take gold.

Biles is up. And she or he seems good to start out.

One other lengthy wait. What do now we have?

14.366! Alice d’Amato has clinched a medal.

Subsequent up: Simone Biles. At The Guardian, now we have minute-by-minute commentary on soccer and over-by-over on cricket. We’re going skill-by-skill for the GOAT.

Alice d’Amato (Italy) doesn’t appear to have the grace or poise of the gymnasts who’ve come earlier than her. However she’s gotten by means of most of her routine with out falling. She appears to be gaining confidence because the routine goes on.

And her dismount is magnifique.

Undecided in regards to the issue degree, however she remained solidly on the beam. Certainly forward of Suni Lee to get on the rostrum for second. Might she presumably take the lead – and clinch a medal?

Maneca-Voinea falls once more. It’s sheer carnage in Bercy Area at this time.

Rating is … taking some time … come on, of us, she’s not on the rostrum. Let’s hurry it up.

My goodness, severely. Let’s get a rating. The group claps in spectacular rhythm to no music. Maneca-Voinea seems able to get on with the remainder of her life (beginning with the ground train sooner or later at this time).

Any day now, actually …

All that anticipate … 11.733. Final place. We knew that. Thanks. Transfer on.

Italy’s Alice d’Amato is up subsequent, and given her scores to date in Paris, she appears unlikely to cross her teammate Esposito or Zhou.

It’s a 14.000 for Esposito. Stable 8.2 for execution, but it surely’s solely 5.8 for issue. Zhou had 6.6.

Standings at midway level
14.100 Zhou
14.000 Esposito
13.100 Lee
12.333 Soares

If Biles and/or Andrade hit their routines, even with a couple of wobbles right here and there, they’re simply forward of Zhou.

Subsequent up: Romania’s Sabrina Maneca-Voinea

… and he or she drops to the mat after her first sequence of somersaults.

Manila Esposito will get all the way down to enterprise instantly, flipping onto the beam and doing an instantaneous sequence of somersaults.

She flips, wobbles, and he or she’s certainly going to fall … however no! She saves it! On right into a spin. Then a stunning transfer from straddling the bar as much as a handstand.

It’s a shorter routine than the others, and he or she sticks the dismount.

Perhaps not the beginning worth of Zhou, and he or she did wobble a bit, however will that put her within the lead on the midway level?

Soares took bronze within the staff occasion, and he or she definitely earned it.

In the present day, it’s a 12.333.

Subsequent up, one other staff occasion medalist, Italy’s Manila Esposito. Will she be the primary to land her routine with out a main mistake?

Nicely now – Brazil’s Julia Soares has a spectacular imitation of a jellyfish to start out with. She confidently lands a collection of … oh no, she additionally fell. Such an unforgiving occasion. Appears unlikely that she’ll be forward of Lee, not to mention Zhou.

Will the door open right here for a D’Amato or a Maneca-Voinea? Two favorites have gone, and neither hit something near an ideal routine.

Lee’s rating is 13.100. She’ll need to accept her … OK, let’s search for the checklist … bronze within the all-around (gold in Tokyo), bronze within the uneven bars (matching her Tokyo bronze), gold within the staff occasion (up from silver in Tokyo). Not unhealthy from somebody who recovered from kidney points.

She went to Auburn, in order somebody who grew up within the shadow of the College of Georgia, I really feel obliged to make an SEC rivalry remark, however my coronary heart isn’t in it. She’s too good.

The USA’s Suni Lee takes a couple of deep breaths. She has appeared like a bundle of nerves the entire time she’s been right here, after which she simply lands her routines after they matter most.

Stunning spin, and her first somersaults go properly. Hernandez spots a little bit bobble, however she recovers for a triple somersault mixture … and lands laborious on the beam earlier than falling to the mat.

She bobbles once more earlier than touchdown a stable dismount. However you possibly can’t fall all the best way off the beam and count on a medal.

Zhou and her coach are staring with some consternation up at what we presume is the scoreboard, however the remainder of us haven’t but been informed the rating.

Lastly – it’s a 14.100. The problem was 6.6, and he or she nonetheless manages a 7.500 execution.

Subsequent up: Suni Lee.

China’s Zhou Yaqin appears a little bit shaky on her first two landings, and NBC’s Laurie Hernandez notes that she has bailed out of a part of a mix. She later has to place two palms on the beam to regular herself, which within the eyes of the judges is sort of as unhealthy as falling.

It’s a gradual second half of the routine with a one-step hop on the touchdown. However she’s going to need to hope Biles, Lee and Andrade slip up if she’s to take gold.

The order: Zhou, Lee, Soares, Esposito, Maneca-Voinea, D’Amato, Biles, Andrade.

So we’ll see the co-favorite for gold on this occasion up first. Zhou Yaqin is eighteen, with a world championship silver medal on the beam. Repeating – she had the highest rating in qualifying and the highest rating posted on the beam in any competitors right here to date, at 14.866.

One other medal and one other gold alternative for the USA at this time: Austen Jewell Smith and Vincent Hancock shall be within the combined skeet ultimate towards Italy.

Again in Bercy Area, we’re getting gymnast introductions, and you would in all probability hear the roar for Simone Biles in neighboring arrondissements.

Medal rely replace:

Zou simply took China’s second gold medal of the morning, in order that tie atop the gold medal rankings didn’t final lengthy. It’s now China 21, USA 19. However South Korea claimed the badminton gold, so China couldn’t run that result in three.

The steadiness beam is without doubt one of the few occasions with legit gold medal contenders from the 2 front-runners going head-to-head.

My newest projections are USA 39, China 35.

For whole medals, which draw much less curiosity in the remainder of the world than they do within the USA, judging by media and social media chatter (as one shouldn’t), the projection is USA 123, China 87. In some unspecified time in the future, I’ll need to do projections for France – they’ve 44 whole medals now, not far behind China’s 49.

Girls’s steadiness beam lineup

Qualification scores have been:

14.866 Zhou Yaqin (CHN)
14.733 Simone Biles (USA)
14.500 Rebeca Andrade (BRA)
14.033 Suni Lee (USA)
14.000 Sabrina Maneca-Voinea (ROU)
13.966 Manila Esposito (ITA)
13.866 Alice D’Amato (ITA)
13.800 Julia Soares (BRA)

However Zhou missed her routine within the staff occasion, scoring 12.300. Biles did barely worse (14.366), as did Andrade (14.133). Lee was the one who improved (14.600). D’Amato and Esposito roughly matched their qualifying scores. Soares solely managed 12.400.

Biles posted the perfect rating within the all-around at 14.566. Esposito was second among the many beam qualifiers at 14.200, then Andrade at 14.133, D’Amato at 14.033 and Lee at 14.000. Zhou, Soares and Maneca-Voinea weren’t within the all-around.

That is the equipment that strikes probably the most concern within the hearts of any gymnast. Flipping and touchdown blind on a 4-inch-wide piece of wooden is a kind of expertise that baffle us mere mortals.

They’re holding the medal ceremony for the parallel bars first, so that you’ve received time to caffeine up.

Zou Jingyuan (CHN) wins his second straight parallel bars gold

Oka did certainly attain the rostrum: 6.5 issue, 8.8 execution, 15.300

GOLD: Zou (CHN), 16.200
SILVER: Kovtun (UKR), 15.500
BRONZE: Oka (JPN), 15.300

Subsequent up: girls’s steadiness beam. You recognize who’s developing …

All-around champion Shinnosuke Oka of Japan swings by means of some spectacular handstands and will get massive air. His final massive talent on the bars is a soar right into a pike right into a handstand … look, he’s excellent. And his dismount was close to good.

HAS to be at the least bronze. Silver?

Germany’s Lukas Dauser took silver in Tokyo. He’s the 2023 world champion on this occasion. He’ll need to go massive to beat Zou.

Ouch. He bangs into the bars as he swings downward. However the remainder is otherworldly, apart from a hop on the touchdown.

He injured his bicep in June, so attending to this stage is an accomplishment in itself. He in all probability gained’t high his qualification rating of 15.166. Did he beat 15.1 to get on the rostrum? He doesn’t appear to suppose so, and now we have an extended anticipate the scores than now we have for the earlier gymnasts.

The rating is …

The rating is …

Come on, of us.

Issue 6.0, execution 7.7. That’s 13.700. I’d need to guess that his mishap additionally took out a part of his deliberate routine.

One gymnast left – Vernaiev is assured a medal.

China’s Zou Jingyuan is a boss. Nearly each time he goes to a handstand, he instantly will get his physique in an ideal line. He flings himself the size of the bars like a salmon leaping upstream, if a salmon might additionally get to a full vertical handstand. His dismount is sort of good as properly.

NBC’s commentators consider that is the perfect routine of all time. It’s certainly the perfect tonight.

Issue 6.9, execution 9.3. That’s a 16.200. That matches his rating from qualification, and nonetheless, we might be forgiven for pondering he deserved much more.

Ukraine’s Oleg Vernaiev isn’t fairly getting set on his handstands, after which he will get crossed up transferring from bar to bar and spins out to land on the mat.

Like all gymnasts do even after they know they’ve made a mistake that may preserve them from the rostrum, he goes over to get some chalk and hops proper again up for a flawless ultimate 20 seconds or so.

He finishes with 13.300.

All eyes now on Zou Jingyuan, the defending champion and by far the best scorer in qualification.

Japan’s Wataru Tanigawa has a significant bobble early within the routine, along with his physique leaning to about 2 o’clock earlier than he managed to get better. He’ll need to be content material along with his gold within the staff occasion. Poor man.

Scores: 6.3 issue, 7.833 execution, 14.133. Fourth out of 4 with 4 to go.

Standings
15.500 Kovtun (UKR)
15.100 Zhang (CHN)
15.100 Arican (TUR)
14.133 Tanigawa (JPN)

Subsequent up: Ukraine’s Oleg Vernaiev.

Turkey’s Ferhat Arican, the bronze medalist on this occasion in Tokyo, is attempting a routine just like Kovtun’s, however even the untrained eye can see a couple of flaws. His handstands are bent or curved, not straight. Will the issue rating put him in rivalry?

He appears thrilled, and the gang roars in appreciation. He makes a coronary heart form along with his palms in response.

Issue 6.900, execution 8.200 – 15.100, tied with Zhang.

Subsequent up, males’s all-around silver medalist Zhang Boheng. He does a stunning leap, then springs all the best way down the size of the bars from one finish to the opposite.

He lands bent over along with his head and chest down and takes a few moments to straighten out.

I might suppose what Zhang did was tougher than what Kovtun did, however having tried neither, I can’t say for certain.

Scores are in, and apparently, Zhang’s routine was less complicated. His issue is 6.400, execution 8.700. That’s 15.100, a little bit underneath his earlier efforts and properly behind Kovtun, who bested his qualifying rating right here.

Ukrain’s Illia Kovtun builds suspense with lengthy, firmly held handstands. He doesn’t do something spectacular within the air, and he has as little hop on the dismount, however his type in switching positions on his handstands is fluid and assured.

It’s a 15.500 – 7.000 issue, 8.500 execution. That’ll contend for a medal.

There’s a pleasant advert for Hyundai airing within the USA about children burning out on one sport and attempting one thing else. It has a number of endings. I usually see one with a younger lady working off to play soccer with a giant smile. One other ending encompasses a boy fist-bumping as he walks right into a breaking studio.

However each time my spouse is within the room, it’s the latter.

This morning, it’s the soccer ending. I want to start out recording it to show to my spouse that I’m not hallucinating.

The closely inked Illia Kovtun is up first.

NBC leads off its protection by asserting that Tom Brady is in attendance.

Please tune in anyway, these of you who grumble about his 23-year run of excellent fortune that led the Patriots and Buccaneers to seven championships. All luck. Nicely, most of it.

Males’s parallel bars lineup

The highest qualifier is China’s Zou Jingyuan, with a wide ranging 16.200. Teammate Zhang Boheng certified second with a 15.333. Japan’s Shinnosuke Oka was subsequent at 15.300, then Ukraine’s Oleg Vernaiev (15.266), Germany’s Lukas Dauser (15.166), Ukraine’s Illia Kovtun (15.166), Turkey’s Ferhat Arican (15.033) and Japan’s Wataru Tanigawa (15.000).

Kovtun turned in a barely increased rating within the staff occasion at 15.433 and was the highest performer on the equipment within the all-around with a 15.400. He completed fourth total behind Oka, Zhang and China’s Xiao Ruoteng.

Preamble

Goooooooood morning, USA! Sure, it’s nonetheless darkish, and lots of of you might be nonetheless buzzing over Noah Lyles’ win yesterday, but it surely’s time to modify gears from the present quickest man to the ladies’s gymnastics GOAT, Simone Biles, who’ll share the stage at this time with Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Rebeca Andrade and Alice D’Amato on the ultimate day of gymnastics competitors.

Biles, Lee, Andrade and D’Amato are within the steadiness beam competitors at 6:38 a.m. ET. Chiles replaces Lee within the flooring train, at this time’s ultimate occasion, at 8:23 a.m. ET.

We even have two males’s equipment finals: horizontal bar at 7:33 a.m. ET, however up first, males’s parallel bars at 5:45.

Seize your espresso or tea and observe alongside.

Beau shall be right here shortly. Within the meantime, right here’s how Simone Biles received on in her earlier occasion:

On the world championships final yr, a couple of days after her spectacular comeback started with a stellar all-around gold medal, Simone Biles’s first vault ultimate ended with a fall. It was the primary time she had carried out her Yurchenko double pike in a significant ultimate and as she looked for the ground after the vault, her legs crumpled beneath her. Biles completed in second place behind Rebeca Andrade of Brazil.

Because the Biles redemption tour continues and the gold medals carry on coming, she reasserted her standing as the best vaulter of all time, conserving Andrade at bay with one other supreme ­exhibition. Biles completed the vault ultimate with a median rating of 15.3points. Andrade averaged 14.966 and Biles’s teammate, Jade Carey, scored 14.466 for bronze.

That is the second time Biles has gained the vault gold medal, following on from 2016. With three golds –within the staff, the all-around and the vault competitions – she has now gained 40 Olympic and world medals, additional extending her report as probably the most embellished gymnast – man or girl.
