Suni Lee earns bronze in uneven bar final
American Suni Lee earns her sixth Olympic medal with a bronze on the uneven bar. Kaylia Nemour of Algeria earns a massive 15.700 to take gold — becoming the first gymnast representing an African country to win a medal in gymnastics — while Qiu Qiyuan of China earns silver with a score of 15.500.
Carlos Yulo wins second individual Olympic gold with first-place finish on vault
Carlos Yulo, who won gold on vault yesterday to earn the Philippines’ first gymnastics medal, takes gold in the men’s vault final with a huge score of 15.116. Artur Davtyan of Armenia competes last and sneaks past to take silver, while Great Britain’s Harry Hepworth settles for bronze.
The last competitor is Armenia’s Artur Davtyan, who earns a huge score of 14.966 to take silver.
Mahdi Olfat of Iran puts up a strong showing, but bobbles the landing on his first vault. He earns a 14.266, and is out of medal contention; Carlos Yulo and Harry Hepworth are guaranteed a medal.
Croatia’s Aurel Benovic earns a 14.900 total score, leaving Yulo and the two Brits on the podium — for now. Two more gymnasts to go.
Four-time Olympian Igor Radivilov of Ukraine puts up great execution on his first vault, but falls while attempting to stick the second. He earns a score of 14.166, and currently sits in last.
Carlos Yulo of the Philippines is up, starting off with an outrageous 15.433-point vault and following it up with a solid second vault for a total score of 15.116.
Yulo won gold on floor yesterday, earning the Philippines’ first Olympic medal in gymnastics, and he might be poised for another: He now sits on top with a slight lead, with four gymnasts still to go.
Great Britain’s Jake Jarman, the reigning world champion on this event, puts up two stunners but has some issues with landing deductions. He earns a 14.933 and moves into second, behind his teammate Harry Hepworth.
The men’s vault finals, the last apparatus final of the day, is now underway. Vault competitors will post two vaults, with the two scores averaged for a total score.
Ukraine’s Nazar Chepurnyi starts off the field with a total score of 14.899, followed by Great Britain’s Harry Hepworth, who earned a total of 14.949.
In an interview after the event, Suni Lee reiterates how grateful she is to be in Paris. Lee has been dealing with health issues for over a year, and was unsure if she would be able to compete even just a few months ago; now she has three medals from these games, with a chance for another at the beam final tomorrow.
And she does it! Suni Lee earns a 14.800 and earns her third Olympic medal of these games with a bronze in the uneven bars.
Suni Lee looks great on bar, as her teammates and family cheer her on from the stands. The question remains: Will it be enough to get on that podium?
And now it’s time for Suni Lee. Lee will do her best to defend her Tokyo bronze medal in the event. She needs a score higher than 14.766 in order to medal — which is certainly possible; she scored a 14.866 in qualifiers.
Germany’s Helen Kevric has to follow up Nemour’s routine, but does a solid job, scoring a 14.566. Unfortunately, it will not be enough to be in medal contention.
And here comes Kaylia Nemour, who absolutely nails a beautiful routine and earns a massive score of 15.700. Nemour was immediately emotional after she landed (a near stick) with the nearly perfect routine. She is guaranteed a medal — and it’s likely to be gold.
Qiu Qiyuan of China, who has one of the highest start values in the field, gets a huge stick on her landing and zooms to first with a 15.500. Both Qiu and Kaylia Nemour, who is going next, are only 17 years old, and they look like they could be at the top of the podium — assuming everything goes as planned in Nemour’s routine.
Great Britain’s Becky Downie gets a fall as her hands slip off the bar, before resetting and getting back on to earn a 13.633. Downie, who is 32, is a decorated gymnast but has never won an Olympic medal; unfortunately, that will continue in Paris.
Nina Derwael of Belgium, who won the event in Tokyo 2020, puts up a strong score of 14.766 in the hopes of defending her medal. She moves into the lead, with five competitors remaining.
Next up is Italian Alice D’Amato, who led Italy to a team silver medal last week. D’Amato looks graceful on the bars, getting good height and nailing her dismount to earn a 14.733 to put her in a good spot.
16-year-old Zhang Yihan is up first for China. She falls during her routine — taking her out of the running for a medal — but she gets back up and finishes the event. Zhang finishes with a 12.800, setting a low bar for the rest of the field.
