Welcome to the
Unofficial Message Board for Oregon State Gymnastics!
One pet peeve I'll mention here is commentators (most of them) focus on the deductions for steps in landings (or ND out of bounds)... which are usually the minority of the total deductions (typically 0.8+ on Vault to 1.2+ on the other events!)... of course they tell us a fall is 1.0... but a routine with a fall has more than twice (or several times) the "steps" deductions on top of the fall deduction!

The coverage of the remainder of the qualifications (I watched the Sub-4 & Sub-5 broadcasts, & some of Sub-3.) was very lacking ... Sub-4 was "mostly" coverage of France & Sub-5 was "mostly" coverage of Brazil ... with no Apparatus Streams to watch many of the other gymnasts ... one glaring example is defending Olympic BARS Champion Nina Derwael of Belgium (also 2019 World Champion) that competed only Beam & Bars in Sub-5 ... they showed her BEAM routine (where she fell), but not her BARS routine, in rot-4 when they were only showing Brazil floor routines, ... Nina scored a 14.733 for a 4th place qualification into Event Finals ... so no videos exist of this routine! I think there are probably at least a couple of other Event Finalists and many of the 24 AA Finals where no (or few) videos exist (except for those in Sub-2 ... an the few routines in each Sub that were shown.)
At least every routine of all 8 teams in Team Finals & all 24 AAders in AA Finals will be available to view ... with the Peacock Apparatus streams.
The Peacock Apparatus Finals streams will all show each of the 8 routines (16 vaults) ... plus Medal Ceremonies ... I'm not sure if that is true with NBC's & E!'s LIVE coverage.
Also, one of the NBC taped/delayed segments I mentioned ... "Qualifications: Daytime – 7/28 2pm (1hr highlights)" ... was ONLY France (sub-4) & Brazil (sub-5)! They "saved" coverage of Team USA for the Primetime coverage...
NOTE: If you didn't watch any of the LIVE stream of qualifying... we didn't get the "A-Team" that is calling the Primetime coverage... I have no idea why???
(Now listening to the Primetime coverage... I see why we didn't get the "A-Team" commentators LIVE, as they didn't record their commentary live... it appears it was recorded as they watched the tape... I assume they may have watched LIVE, but NBC couldn't afford to pay them for that many hours!?)
I asuume the reason is they are not judges (so don't know the deductions) & it would take too much time to point out the other deductions & bore most viewers?!?
Go Beavs!!,
