00:00for her the first to go here in rotation two on vault she used to say that she was afraid
00:12to do this vault not anymore very good and i had a funky jump at the end there
00:27i was just about to say it looked so great yeah in the air a lot of power
00:40great block off of the table yeah but something is definitely bothering her there's
00:47no question
00:52her coach brian carry the father of jade carry who she's gotten very close
00:56to they motivate each other in the gym yeah he's calling someone over to take a look
01:02oh boy
01:06so let's watch her feet on the board looked fine
01:13and you see her pick that left foot up instantly
01:20and all the way up until that though great body position in the air a little bit of those cross
01:25feet but right there and you know
01:32in the female the russian aliyah mustafina current world champion was the great favorite
01:37but in her first exercise the jump has suffered a knee injury that has prevented her from competing
01:43so
01:50you know rebecca bross on the vault she's had
01:52back-to-back falls off the balance beam on both nights of competition
01:57this is difficult for rebecca she can do it well but those ankles
02:01oh golly oh dear oh god oh no
02:31that had all the bad things that can happen on a vault she was under rotated she was twisting
02:51still as she hit the ground and as a gymnastics coach and a gymnast every single person in this
03:00arena that is affiliated with gymnastics knows that that can be the deadliest of combinations
03:07an under rotated still twisting into the floor landing
03:14the defending national champion out in a wheelchair here in st paul
03:25elizabeth black also goes by the name ellie and she grabbed that final spot she really
03:29burst onto the scene this year this is i'm convinced one of the main reasons
03:35why she made canada's in the big team
03:44way under rotated
03:47and i'll tell you you land like that on vaulting and it is really really hurts the feet
03:54it's like they might be deciding yeah whether to take the second i don't know yeah
04:02you better do some bouncing around to make sure she can actually do that the crowd certainly
04:08can't hurt the coach has certainly been in this position before that's david capucci he's a two-time
04:17canadian olympian you know that obviously was not just a step or whatever that
04:24was a pain in the landing no question but we are seeing less and less of landings why is that
04:29well because the gymnastics gets harder and harder and she was way too high on what we call
04:34the pre-flight so she could not get the the bounce off of the table that's necessary watch
04:41she really just doesn't even get a good bounce on the table and so unfortunate because she is
04:49so capable of performing so much better than this
04:52won a world cup event just prior to the olympic games
05:03she was given a zero for her vault and that's because she did not land feet first
05:11and that was probably a very smart decision
05:21so
05:38obviously is wrong in there that's so unfortunate and the crowd really tried to lift her up
05:43so
05:49now the second vault was a 4.8 difficulty score in qualification 13.6 so we have here a gymnast who
05:58if this goes according to plan is poised to take the lead
06:02and to set quite a challenging mark for the rest of the pack
06:05so
06:13well she oh goodness
06:17oh no
06:23she's doing exactly the right thing just by staying where she is for a moment but
06:27clearly that did not feel at all right for azia demarco the second that she landed
06:35you
