^^^Yeah, that was a little ridiculous. Especially the emphasis on the fact that she has won even when she has scored "in the red" both times and her competitors are doing their hardest vaults. Not so much this time.
People were being a smidgeon critical of her behavior following the vault, but I don't think they understand that this was 2 minutes after you just had a fall (not a hop, a FALL) on a event final in which you are the #1 participant in the world with a vault that you have done 100s of times in practice and perfectly in the team comp. She's also a 16 year old kid who is not used to making these types of mistakes. It's hard to smile and be happy for a winner in that case.
