[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different Question

Do we usually watch qualifications live?  I thought everyone who went participated.  But my brain is mush.[/quote]

I’m not sure I understand. Everyone (all countries) who qualified competed today over several sessions. Top individual and team scores progress to AA, event and team finals which will take place over the coming days. The broadcast didn’t show all the Americans on every apparatus. For example, Jordan chiles fell off beam but it wasn’t shown. [/quote]

Thank you.  I just never remembered watching “qualifications”.[/quote]

I think they've had it before. NBC knows gymnastics is a big draw and shows as much of it as they can.

On the thread title, the choreography in the floor routines looks extra bizarre this year because there's no audience. At least in prior years you could imagine that the dancing was added for the performance value for the spectators. This year, empty arena so blasting music and dance to nobody at all just looks stupid.

The overall stupidest floor routine goes to Artur Dalaloyan of Russia, however. He ruptured his Achilles 3 months ago, should barely be walking yet, isn't medically cleared for vault or floor, and yet did them anyway because he's insane. And then spent 5 minutes after his floor routine doubled over and crying. Watching the men's team final tomorrow and waiting to see if one misstep blows up his leg is going to be awful. It may also be the US's only medal hope.[/quote]
