I watched all this on the BBC back in 2000, but last year found broadcast footage from another station (I think Australian), and it showed Khorkina telling officials that the vault height was wrong. They didn't listen and insisted on several gymnasts vaulting before checking it, including Annika Reeder who was injured as a result and had to withdraw from the rest of the competition.

unfortunately it counts as an attempt if u touch the table or board even just slightly :( I did gymnastics for 11 years and we were always taught to run off to the side of the runway just before the board If we thought we were gonna bail so we would get a second attempt. I feel bad for her tho. She was smart to avoid injury.

[@cantor7723]

Agreed in theory, but as the narrator points out that she just had to run around and not touch the equipment. Still, the safety of gymnasts should be the main concern, and a change in the rules would seem fair. She clearly didn't attempt an actual vault, so she should have had another chance with a penalty. The vaults are getting so difficult that trying to attempt them despite being off from the start is a very bad idea.

I would agree, had I not been a gymnast myself. Her mistake was that she ran INTO the vault & still touched it, which is what got her a zero.

I don’t know. Just kinda annoying. And with the red light one the judges could’ve just looked at the footage from the different angles or had her perform it again. They need to not be so strict.

[@TriAzF]

@@Psyphelia The more lenient they are the worse it would be overall. Even if certain individual situations seem a bit harsh, they need to stick to the rules and say this is allowed and this isn’t no exceptions, otherwise pretty much all “fails” or “faults” etc. would be able to be contested. Even if certain situations seem harsh it’s always better to just have a strict set of rules and very strictly enforce them.

@@mr.balloffur It's the mindset of someone that thinks going through a red light at an intersection is OK, because no one is looking. You are correct, it's there for a reason. Obey the rules, and the laws! You won't get a zero, and won't get hurt/kill yourself or anyone else.

[@Dr.Thomas.]

@joyce It absolutely was a mistake. And like the original commenter stated, she didn't do it on purpose. That's why they call car accidents "Accidents". No one gets into one on purpose. However, there are consequences in an accident, and because of her "Accident" she paid the consequences. The comment made it seem as if it should be overlooked by stating it was a joke. Well, they obviously weren't kidding when they made that rule. Definitely a sad, unfortunate mistake. They didn't let the rule slide when Ekaterina Kramarenko touched the springboard and vault without continuing her routine. They are all professionals, and have made it as far as championships, and even the Olympics. They know the rules, and learned them long before they ever got to the championships. I learned not to go through a red light as a child. It didn't take drivers ed or a handbook for me to know that. I'm not trying to be mean about it at all, it really sucks that that happened.

Plus their careers are so short as it is.

Talk about pressure. Recently on Good Morning America one of their anchors was low key complaining that gymnasts’ faces always look so much more serious than any other sport at the Olympics and that they should smile and show how happy they are to be there because it’s a once in a lifetime event that very few people ever get to participate in and I just wanted to scream at her like “EXACTLY!” Lol.

Not performing the second vault because you won't win a medal is just pure poor sportsmanship.

[@federicapiottoli6922]

No it's not, vaults are dangerous and she had already fallen during her first one, doing the second when you know you're already out of the competition and risking injury for nothing is stupid

[@8964TS]

I’m not sure how it works in gymnastics, but in diving the competitors submit their dive plan to judges so the judges know what to score. If the diver doesn’t perform that listed dive, they get nothing. It wouldn’t matter if they performed the greatest dive of all time-if it’s not what’s written on the judge’s paper, it’s graded as a fail since that’s not the dive they saw.

[@CharmsDad]

@@hazelnutspred3348 They knew the rule. They just made a mistake.

[@CharmsDad]

@@kothai1634 There was no last minute change. In gymnastics (as well as track and field, swimming, and other major sports) there is only one window for rule changes every four years. This occurs AFTER the Olympics (in the same year) and involves a process of proposing changes to the governing board, a review and comment period for all proposed changes, and a final vote by the full governing body. There are no sudden or unexpected changes right before a competition. This is not true of all sports, but the “major” Olympic sports all use a similar approach. The only exception to this restriction has to do with drug testing policies, which are subject to change if there’s a dictate from the IOC.

[@mchur001]

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.

[@shunamitoryan6285]

These superNATURE are HUMAN. Their score for me is 100%. A Human that cant perform 0.5% of what is shown..

[@Sadarsa]

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

[@Jaycee1200_]

I thought as long as the gymnast does not touch the spring board or vaulting table they can restart without any deductions?

[@gymnasticsmasterclass]

They receive a 1.00 (full point) deduction for empty run

That khorkina woman seems like a piece of work. Love these videos

[@christinab812]

She actually said a month ago that all the nassar victims had no self respect and should’ve spoken up when it happened (completely ignoring the fact that many of them tried to or that they were little kids who didn’t know any better) and then said that abusive coaching methods are just part of success and people speaking out about them just want attention. The irony of her saying the victims had no self respect but also they should accept abuse as part of the sport. She really is a piece of work.

You forgot to mention that the reason Khorkina scored O on the vault was because it was discovered the apparatus had been set incorrectly and the entire thing was raised shortly afterwards.

Actually that was in the olympics of Sydney. Khorkina scored a zero in 1997 worlds.

[@SilencedButNotForgotten]

They wanted Russia to become last and didn't change lights. They literally gave her a sign to perform and then gave her a 0 score because of trivial rules about lights.

[@saragrant9749]

The ATHLETE is responsible for making sure the green light is on before going. The rule is not trivial, it is NECESSARY to ensure all are prepared to see the performance. That was on her alone, and she stated just such. You need to get over your selfish arrogance.

[@lonnieappleby6242]

I am clearly not a gymnast. On the torn ACL, it said she under rotated. Please explain this to me. In my untrained mind I would have thought she over rotated, because when she lands it appears to me that her feet were too far forward. I’m not criticizing, I’m trying to understand.

[@davewave2760]

So many people think they can get a good score, but that guy in the crowd with the air horn says otherwise.

[@johnnyli4702]

You only looked at vault, but there have been quite a few times when gymnasts on the other events touch the apparatus and then immediately salute because they don't need the score.

[@TwirlGirl2197]

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

[@LucienSabre]

It’s not fair that injured gymnasts get an automatic 0.000 on the second vault because they’re unable to perform the second vault due to the major force cause that an injury is. They should modify or at least tweak that rule - it’s not the gymnast’s fault that she can’t perform vault number 2.

[@Adaephonable]

SO what is your solution? Should the injured gymnast automatically win?

[@LucienSabre]

@@Adaephonable Of course not. That’s dumb af. I was thinking something like creating a special one-off low score that’s not zero (which is almost cruel given the reason why the gymnast can’t do the second vault) to apply in cases of injuries like these.
