Kohei - 3 1/2 + 2/1 OOB, 2 1/2 + 1 1/2, double double, russian circles to splits, 1 3/4 roll out, 3/1 twist.
Diego - 1 1/2 + 2 1/2 , double arabian, + fro 1/1 tuck, Pike double arabian, wide arm HS, 1/ 1/2 + 2 1/2 + 3/1, 1 3/4 roll out, 3/1 twist.

Kristian - whip + double pike arabian, 2 1/2 + fro 1/1 tuck, 3/1 + lay 1/2, russian + wide arm HS, double arabian, super high.
Arthur Nory - pike double front + front tuck, full in pike, wide arm hs, layout 1 3/4 roll out 1 1/2 + fro 1/2, 2/1 + fro 1/1 tuck, full in.
Jake Dalton - layout double arabian, whip+ pike double arabian, fro 1/1 + fro 2/1, wide arm HS, 2 1/2 + fro 1/1 tuck, layout 1 3/4 roll out, 3/1 twist, not the best landing. He should still get a medal for his glorious toe point.

3. Arthur Mariano, 15.433
Next is women's vault, featuring Simone, Maria Paseka of Russia, Hong Un Jong of North Korea and Oksana Chusovitina, seven freaking time Olympian. The question (or rather questions) on everyone's mind for this final is: will Simone win gold? Will Chuso bust out the Produnova (handspring double front)? Will Hong bust out a triple twisting yurchenko and beat everyone?
Here we go
Here's the start list:
Hong Un Jong AVG 14.9
Shallon Olsen 14.816

Dipa Karmakar 15.066
Maria Paseka 15.253
Simone Biles 15.966
Hong Un Jong - VT 1 Cheng - some piking in the air, step back on the landing. Bent arms on her block. 15.4 (6.4, 9.00) HOLY SHIT, she's going for the TTY! WILL SHE MAKE IT!!!!!???? She sat it down. She looked like she had good form in the air. She didn't get it all the way around, that was more of a 2 6/8.... They only credited her with the Amanar 14.40 (6.3, 8.200 plus a penalty -0.1) 14.9 AVG
Shallon Olsen - Amanar, big height, but she put her knee down. 14.966, 2nd VT - Yurchenko 1/2 on 1 1/2 tucked, much better. 14.966 14.816 AVG
Chuso - let's see if she'll land that Produnova. big height, not enough to land it and she rolls out on her next. Well, on the replay, she was below the level of the table on the 2nd flip. She wasn't going to land it. 14.933 (7.0, 7.933), VT 2 - Tsuk 2/1, much better than that produnova. small step on the landing. I love that the other coaches are hugging her. Oh and an OOB. 14.733 (6.0, 8.833 0.1 penalty)
Wang Yan - VT 1- Tsuk 2/1, clean in the air, small step on the landing. She's so small but she's so powerful! My god, she's got so much booty power, she moved the springboard when she jumped on it. 14.866 (6.0,8.866) VT 2 - Rudi - very nice, small hop on the landing, cleaner in air form. 15.133 (6.2 8.933) 14.999 avg
Giulia Steingruber - Rudi, HUGE height, just a hop to the side. Her form is better from AA finals and qualifications. 15.533 (6.2 9.333), DTY 2nd VT, super clean, 14.9 (5.8, 9.1) AVG 15.216
Dipa - VT 1 tsuk 2/1, small step. leg seps on pre-flight. 14.866, VT 2 Produnova, butt was close to the mat, but it was not as scary as Chuso's. 15.266 (7.0, 8.266) AVG 15.066
Maria Paseka - VT 1 Cheng, good landing, crazy legs in pre-flight and in air, landed on the OOB line. 15.266 (6.4 8.966), VT 2 - Amanar, big step back, makes my knees hurt looking at that. 15.241 (6.3, 8.941), avg 15.253
OMG!!! I think GIULIA WILL MEDAL! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Simone!!!! VT 1 - Amanar - OMG! I'm TOO NERVOUS! Small hop back, good form in air. Little under rotated, but it's the best vault I've seen so far. 15.9!!!!!! (6.3, 9.6) VT 2 Cheng - BEAUTIFUL!!! OMG! SHE DID IT! SHE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 16.033!!! (6.4, 9.633)!!! SHE DID IT! SHE DID IT!!!! AVG 15.966

Louis Smith rocking the man bun.
Here's a summary of PH finals. Max Whitlock won the gold over Louis Smith in silver, Team USA FINALLY got A medal on the men's side. Jim Watson dubbed Max Whitlock "Mad Max." Maybe would be slightly more appropriate if Max were Australian, but I digress.
