Representatives of Japan won the team all-around final at the Olympic Games
Ukrainian gymnast Oleg Vernyaev commented on the performance of the blue-yellows in team all-around By artistic gymnastics on Olympics 2024.
“The beginning was difficult. It is always difficult to start with a horse, because there is still a lot of strength, you need to restrain yourself and show [хорошее выступление]find the line between this. I don’t want to say anything about the refereeing, everyone is rooting for their own team.”
“I’m proud of the whole team, everything we did. I want to cry, really, because I’m so tired. But the difficulty is the deciding factor. We came to the horizontal bar, to the free exercises at the end, and [у соперников] the difficulty was higher. We need to raise it [сложность] programs and then hope for medals even more. But hoping that someone will fall somewhere is difficult.”
“I said it after the qualification: the Americans are more dangerous in the final, because they really messed up in the qualification, they performed poorly. And I understood that if they do their job in the final, then they are the biggest competitors for third place.”
“China? He said that the Chinese would win if they did their thing. But three falls on the high bar is not allowed in the final, and the Japanese, although Hashimoto fell on the pommel horse, did everything else. Whoever doesn’t fall wins.”
“Is it realistic to fight for medals in the team all-around final? Of course, you can compete with everyone. I don’t want to complain. You can compete with everyone, but you need to increase the difficulty. When someone does 6.5 points of difficulty and higher, and someone does less, then it’s hard to compete. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough of that.”
“The atmosphere at the Olympics? It felt like I was competing in Los Angeles, not France. The Americans had something incredible, they felt like home. I envy them for such support, it motivates and helps. It’s really cool. And so – perhaps at any Olympic Games the support is incredible, because everyone is rooting for someone. The Olympic Games are always cool. awesome. I think there won’t be a single empty square centimeter in the women’s all-around final.”
“I need to rest because I’ve already completed two all-around competitions. Unfortunately, I’m not 19 years old. Sleep, then do some stretching and recover. Always in a fighting mood. I’m very tired [после финала]you could say that I don’t want something – no, it’s just too early to think about it [финале в личном многоборье]”.
