8.1 execution? Really?! Where the hell did you find something to deduct almost 2 points in this routine? Tell me, 'cause I can't see it

[M2r2am]

@javierino77 he isnt he has a gf...

[PAKgymnastics]

@91andRWforever his angles on all his spins.

[alimomali2]

holy shit

[jowb22]

@91andRWforever he doesn't finsh his skills in handstand

[evoandy]

@XtremeTkatchev and several knee bends and pikes that were worth at least a .3. and his legs were wide enough apart on the landing that I would think at least 2 judges would have given him a .3. Still a fantastic routine though.

[XtremeTkatchev]

@91andRWforever I agree but one of his main deductions was a 0.5 pike on the winkler connection.

[xaviergym1]

hambuechen is AMAZING !

[javierino77]

Really is he gay?

[M2r2am]

woooow first who shaved under the arms. looks much better without it!

[Magistrix78]

@SGRECRUITMENT he injured his Achilles tendon earlier this year. thats why he couldn't practice the dismounts for a long time :)

[Esoterical8]

You have a valid question. We, as spectators, don't have what the judges practice as their job of assessing such "artistic expression." We love the sports. We hate the judges sometimes. Even those who haven't seen a routine like what Fabian showed could say that the "expression" is better. It's always hard to have an expected end result when the judgment is not based on how much distance is covered, how much time the effort was done, or how high the stunt was reach. Judges have biases.

[wonderlen]

The judges are really hammering all the bars for men and women... cough...(except if you are from certain country like R,W&B...)

[AeffchenSkill]

Stalder 1 1/2 maybe and the full Jäger was a little bit piked ...

But 2 Points ... that's hard...!



[MistRDonuT94]

whoa full-twisting jaeger!! awesome!

[TheMrTezzer]

@91andRWforever maybe at 0:25 for not keeping swinging?

[wokgymkings]

@SGRECRUITMENT remember he is not long over his achilles injury

[SGRECRUITMENT]

I was hoping to see a higher difficulty dismount but his form is better then ever!

[Piyyutim]

Blonde, blue-eyed Aryan Gymnast being screamed at in German! A comedian's gotta do a parody. Paging Brent Weinbach.

[faithakiyama]

The scoring on the bar apparatuses (UB and HB) have been pretty baffling during these qualifications...it's almost understandable for UB because it does tend to "inflate" WAG scores. But for HB??

[ChainChomp2]

I thought he tore his achilles at the beginning of this year...is he not doing floor and vault like last year (inflamed achilles)

[Elbembu2]

Wow!!!!!

[blokflip13]

@91andRWforever On his end 1/2 after the winkler or full twisting jeager, he missed handstand by alot and on the hop 1.5 turn from stalder, he had poor postion and missed handstand by a bit.

[WaRRior64Rus]

@91andRWforever

Adler 180 on 0:11 and Pogorelov on 0:25
