During the World Championships, I made many, many charts for GymCastic, and they need to live somewhere. So, why not my blog?
Click on the images to make them larger.
1. A breakdown of the execution scores during the men's all-around.
2. A breakdown of the difficulty scores during the men's all-around.
People need to stop talking about how difficulty always trumps execution.
3. How did our top men do last year during the all-around finals?
Holy upgrades, Max Whitlock! And holy improvement, Oleg!
In the words of Oleg, "Next year I should focus more on the all-around because it is high time, high time indeed."
If we start praying now, gymternet, the gym gods are bound to give in and find a place for Oleg on the podium in 2015!
4. A comparison of 2013's floor scores vs. 2014's floor scores
Sometimes, I wonder, "Would that score been medal-worthy last year?" I decided to make some charts to find out.
Has Shirai grown? Or why is he having troubles keeping his tumbling passes within the lines?
5. …and the same for pommel horse…
If your leg cuts don't look like Berki's, you're doing it wrong.
6. …and the same for rings…
This was one of the closest finals! But I do wish that the judges had drawn clearer distinctions between routines. In a field of 8, should there really be 2 ties?
7. …and the same for vault…
Ri Se Gwang, I'll donate my foot bones to you!
8. …and the same for parallel bars…
All my prayers finally paid off! Oleg produced the most beautiful routine of the entire World Championships! (Sorry, Kohei-Lovers! But Oleg was sublime!)
If you don't like this routine, you have no soul.
9. …and the same for high bar…
Epke, your execution is improving!
Even though girls have cooties…
I did make some WAG sexy data!
1. How did our top women do last year during the all-around finals?
Vanessa Ferrari with the upgrades. Simone Biles with the consistency. Kyla Ross and Aliya Mustafina with the injuries and the downgrades. :(
2. A comparison of 2013's vault scores vs. 2014's vault scores
Praise the gym gods! There were no injuries during women's vault this year!
And this chart makes you wonder, Does McKayla Maroney really need to upgrade her second vault in order to stay competitive?
3. …and one of the women's bars…
The women are upping the ante on bars! A high 14 is no longer going to put you in medal contention!
4. …and one of the women's beam…
If Kharenkova can get it together next year (and stay away from the Russian Vortex of Injuries), women's beam should be one of the more exciting finals next year. *Fingers crossed*
5. …and one of the women's floor…
An 8.933 in execution on floor in the current state of gymnastics? SPLIT LEAPS TIMES INFINITY!
Oh, and if you get extremely nationalistic about gymnastics meets…
Here's the MAG medal count…
And here's the WAG medal count…
Yet again, there's more diversity on the men's side.
Other tidbits…
- The FIG has released the official results book
- Bruno Grandi is talking about changing the scoring system… AGAIN!
