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
