Olympics Day 11th

It's been a long while since the last time I've seen any perfect vaulting in the men's gymnastics and also in the men's springboard diving.
but yesterday in both event I saw some of the most amazing skill there.


Men’s vault gymnastic, the best vault is not coming from all three of the medallist. Instead it came from the Romania Athlete, Marian Dragulescu, although he fail badly in the 2nd jump, the first jump to be is a perfect 10. The right move, didn’t sway to the left or right and pin to the ground on landing, not even a hop. It’s been really hard since the Vault have changed into the current form. Thought the mass of the vault have increase it seems that the Athlete were unable to master it since then. Before this the vault we see a lot of perfect 10, now they just over shoot every time. And after the change of the shape of the vault we see a tremendous shuffle of the athlete who can compete in vault. China is not there, Romania hardly present and the German too. Anyway, it’s still a great games yesterday when they are in the Final. They won the games with less fault and consistency in performance. Blanik Lesnek is the last to performa nd he delivered in the end with the same points as Thomas Bouhail of France, and the tie breaker came on the 4th points. In my opinion though. Bouhail gave a perfect performance just that lack of a little bit of grace in the movement. and Russian Anton Golotsutskov who start the events and have to wait the whole way to see who'd beat him, again got a Bronze in addition to his previous Floor medal.

In the Ring Final we see China's hen Yi Bing did a perfect routine and got his gold beating his fellow country men, all-round champ Yang Wei, Chen's routine was strong, graceful, well-prepared and prefectly executed with a solid landing. That is the most graceful ring I've ever seen in the Games since Sydney.


As for diving, yesterday we see the comeback of Chong He with a 98.8 points dive. A long awaiting perfect 100 from the old golden days. Before his third and last dive he is way back behind the 10th place and then we see a great come back from him with the difficult forward 2 1/2 somersault with three twists in pike position. He is followed by Alexandre Despatie of Canada who also make a great come back since a disastrous 2nd dive and third is Chong’s fellow compatriot Ching Kai. Will we see another clean sweep from China? It is possible now with 2 of the athlete leading in the preliminary. The veteran Dmitry Sautin gave a great fight from the beginning but started losing ground because of the better marks gain by the other Divers. Australia Matthew Mitcham is still hanging in there, and a surprise that Canadian Reuben Daniel Ross is almost out of the race when he is close to the first 5 before the 4th jump.

of course in the Bird Nest everybody is focus on the women's pole vault. the gossip of the alleged cat fight that's settle with the winning of the women of the event, Russian Elena Isinbeava she beat the competition in her first jump, and cross the runner's up US athlete Jennifer Stuczynski and shot her mouth then and there and then continue to break the Olympics Record and the World record. I mean it's sport. Ladies please deal your own emotion with elegance and grace. there's no need to fight. results show it all.
But one bad news from the new stadium is that Liu Xiang who are most covered athlete since the Athens games win is out without clearing even a single hurdle and because of an Archilles injury. I hope that he'll recover well.
