Summary

IN THE NEWS

On Day One of the Rio Olympic Event Finals: Men’s Floor, Women’s Vault, Pommel Horse, Women’s Uneven Bars, Spencer, Uncle Tim and Jessica chat about:

The origins of "Cheeseburger booty power" - Jiani Wu episode here.
Full recap of each event final details, scores, and moments we loved from:
- Men's Olympic Floor Final:
  - The EPIC need for a Victorian-level fainting couch for Arthur Nory and Diego Hypolito while they waited for the results on floor.
  - “Norying” - curl up in a ball like an armadillo until you find out if you medaled.
  - Details of Max Whitlocks epic victory over mono and the rest of the floor field.
- Women's Vault Final:
  - Simone Biles proves she is a mental rock and consistently has the best execution in the world on the hardest vaults in the world.
  - Epic debate over the execution scores of Maria Paseka, Guilia Steingruber and Wang Yan.
- Pommel Horse Final--Battle of the British:
  - Max Whitlock one-ups Louis Smith with his higher D score to Louis's higher E score.
  - Alex Naddour proves he was the right choice for the team by breaking the 32-year pommel horse medal draught for the US.
- Bars Final--Reining Olympic Champion Aliya vs. WOGA and Vagina to the Line Anarchy Bars:
  - Aliya Mustafina won over Madison Kocan with higher D to Kocan's higher E score.
  - Sophie Scheder who we touted as the Khorkina of glorious bars, wins a medal for Germany! Beauties all medaled!
  - Jessica Lopez hit every routine in Rio.
Our favorite not-gymnastics moments--hint, Hypolito and Arthur Nory Mariano losing it on the sideline during men's floor finals.
