| 0:00.0 | Welcome to event final. The last day women's beam and floor men's vault P bars and high bar the men yes that's if you guys were confused they guess the men do have more opportunity the women they got three and they can win more prize money because they got to do six events women only get to kick five. |
| 0:23.0 | Yes, it's success. This is our coverage of the 50th gymnastics world championship from live from here in Kitakushu, Japan sponsored by tumble track. It has been 67 years since the last Japanese woman, one beam gold and Ashikawa won it back today. Carlos Yulo and Maimura Kami are world champions again. |
| 0:45.0 | Kohai stuck what might be his last dismount nobody knows he stuck it like a long dart here in Japan off of high bar. This is episode 66 for October 24th 2021 and welcome to the number one gymnastics podcast in the galaxy. I'm Jessica and I'm here with Spencer from the balance beam situation and Kenzley are men's gymnastics expert and you guys today we have so many things to talk about because I feel like this is one of the. |
| 1:15.0 | So much drama today so much drama like we thought there was drama day one no, but first a couple headlines to get to the most important thing is that the survivors have come to a settlement agreement with us age gymnastics. |
| 1:27.0 | However, meanwhile the US OPC has introduced a bill to make them to free them of any liability having to do with abuse so as Rachel den Hollander put it Congress. |
| 1:42.0 | Now is your time to make sure they are still liable and if you guys agree with that that the US OPC should be liable for abuse that happens at their hands or under their watch I should say more specifically then make sure to contact your congressperson some other updates so Spencer who pulled out of finals today. |
| 2:03.0 | We only had one withdrawal today which was pretty good Zhang Boheng who also had pulled out of yesterday's rings final pulled out of parallel bars so his teammate she sang who had been to per country out of the final got into the P bars final and had the highest execution score of the entire final. |
| 2:24.0 | Which I okay anyway we'll get to that also I want to give an update from our interview with. |
| 2:31.0 | Low and way from yesterday after they won their bars medals so I had told you guys about how they were when we asked them like how are you going to celebrate they like kept asking their translate to like celebrate what are you talking about why. |
| 2:45.0 | So we got our full translation back and basically they were saying celebrate like we can't it's a pandemic we have to go home and quarantine so that is why they were like how are we supposed to do that when we have a quarantine and stay alone in a room by ourselves about seeing anyone so that makes a lot more sense about what they were talking about so that's the update on the translations. |
| 3:08.0 | Thanks so much everybody that's been helping us with translations especially to Luba who's done a ton of stuff here and because again the LLC didn't person by the local organizing committee didn't provide translators and this is the first time we've been to a world with no translators so basically we've just had to ask gymnastics fans ask people that are standing around ask staff if we can like just anybody to get translations. |
| 3:31.0 | Also I just want to ask you guys to please consider for going one Starbucks this month and join club gym nerd because we could not afford to be here just to give you guys without club gym nerd and just to give you guys an idea of how much it costs to be here our hotel and internal flights within Japan and the PCR test that we had to pay for with the organizing committee. |
| 3:53.0 | We had no choice about those all none of them like me and coop tried to share room they would let us would pay for a whole hotel room that was over $13,000 just the hotel and our internal flights here that's how much this cost to be here that's not including all the other costs that are involved in this so we can only we're the only independent media organization here and we can not do it without the club dinner members. |
| 4:20.0 | And so you know like when sports illustrated embeds a video that we've taken an interview here or the Ukrainian news puts it on TV like we're not getting money from that like everything's like oh well YouTube like there's huge there's a big income from that like it's not YouTube as we have never YouTube is like. |
| 4:40.0 | Like a penny in the bucket that is the giant expenditure that goes into traveling to competitions like that so please consider it like really it's the cost of a Starbucks a month is how much a cost to join club gym nerd so it's very affordable and we hope that we have earned your. |
| 4:59.4 | Yes you're $4.99 with our coverage here so let's start talking about men's high bar now I rarely start with men's gymnastics as you guys know I mean should we start with floor first actually. |
| 5:15.0 | I think for big change let's start with floor is more dramatic so it was yeah and I have a lot of thoughts yeah what's happened on floor. |
| 5:26.2 | Can I ask a question first oh wait now you're not in your microphone don't lean forward okay there you go try again I would like to ask a question about erasabas e-score and okay granted like women's code is not my specialty but I feel like pretty like pretty good about it how did they find one point six off in deductions of her floor. |
| 5:51.2 | I cannot make that work a lot of it was her front double fall that was the one to correct where she lunched forward and stepped to meet it and then had then lean to keep herself in bounds which I think was probably another three attempts for lack of control. |
| 6:12.2 | I would have to go through it but it did not seem out of the norm or agree to us to me. |
| 6:21.2 | I just I just feel like her floor was so like significantly cleaner than everyone else's and I I would like to see flip fly tumble do a video so I can understand how they got. |
| 6:34.2 | One point six off because I I don't understand I would like to see that too she did tie with Melnikovah for the highest execution score in the final but I agree with you like you can find more detections and Melnikovah's routine. |
