The Olympic All-Around Final | Daniel Purvis EP 78

this guy did the best vault ever hahah if u know u know

[@VoroninHop]

I think parallel bar was the highest-scoring apparatus in the end at these Olympics, then pommels, then vault/rings. Not an order I would have thought 5-10 years ago!
PS. Vernaiev tested positive for meldonium, which was only banned by WADA in 2016. Maria Sharapova is the most high-profile athlete to have been banned for meldonium use, but many other Russians have been, and a fair number of Ukrainians. It's commonly used in Russia and several other former Soviet federation states as a treatment for heart conditions (it's made in Latvia).

Hey, thank you for the information and background on meldonium. It’s great to read back your take on the finals and I appreciate you engaging with the podcast 🫡

I keep thinking about the judge’s statement that they look at the shoulders more than at the hands

[@samoldham8298]

Once I learn that it showed me how important it is to have an understanding of the judges perspective.

Sam i'd love to see a gymnastic series of how to progress gymnastic skills - i.e. here's a skill here's got how condition and prep for it

[@samoldham8298]

Thank you for the feedback mate 🤝🏼 I think a video like this might work best on UA-cam but I’ll definitely consider the idea 🤸🏼

I feel bad for Felix. He was 3rd before that.

[@samoldham8298]

It must have been tough but he earned a lot of respect for the way he responded 🙌🏼
