Men's Floor Final | Tokyo Replays

Israel's Artem Dolgopyat won a historic gold medal in artistic gymnastics, claiming the men's floor exercise gold during the first of four apparatus finals. Prior to this, no gymnast from the nation had won a medal of any colour in the sport at the Olympic Games and only one other athlete has won gold in Olympic history - Gal Fridman's sailing gold in 2004.

Dolgopyat came off the floor not knowing if he'd done enough, after a few bouncy landings and having incurred a .100 neutral deduction for going out of the area.

It took a moment for the score and placement to register with Dolgopyat matching the score from Rayderley Zapata of Spain (14.933). The duo had the same execution score, usually the tie-breaker. But the Israeli had a .1 advantage in the difficulty score to win the tie break.

China's XIAO Ruoteng was the bronze medallist at 14.766. _____________________________________________________

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the way Yul Moldauer stucked his landings?

[SarahZi]

They really had Nikita go up first with his triple pike. I’m glad they let then do one touch warm ups before the EF at Worlds

[yokiyoka]

I love Zapatas floor, wish there never had to be a tie breaker! But I'm so happy for him!! 😊

[corystajduhar]

The Israeli gymnast clearly did a double front with 1.5 twist and a triple double. I wonder why the commentator couldn't see it. Impossible to miss.

[cinthialorysalmaveras]

I feel bad for Naggorny. He was so good on floor in every single competition he's been since 2018. He looks really tired.

I just don't get how Artem had a higher E score than Zapata. Zapata nailed his routine - Artem landed low, went out of bounds & generally was a more jittery performance.

Zapata's reaction warms my heart so much ❤ It really meant the world to him!! His little babygirl will be so proud of her dad ❤

GYMNASTIC IS TRULY AMAZING SPORT OF OLYMPIC GAMES

[emmar]

DEAR Olympic Channel, PLEASE, WE Really want to watch the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Artistic Gymnastics Women's Full Events: Floor, Team, All Around Finals AND ALL subdivisions of the qualifications.

Honestly, Zapata should have gotten the gold. Dolgopyat's execution score was too high.

[goodyougetastar]

It's wild that the tie breaker turned out that way. I feel like the out of bounds penalty should've been taken into consideration for that but it seems they disregarded it and counted it as both of them having the same E score.

[dkiem]

I hope they continue to post replays with future events.

[elijahbuchanan]

I thought the higher difficulty wins. That’s how Artem Dolgopyat beat Rayderley Zapata in 2021 isn’t it?

[Simon-oykf]

12:30 lol commentator thinks this guy's somehow managed to do a 3, 5 twisting front layout on floor

[RobertRod]

The rightful gold medalist winner was Zapata from Spain!

[mitoproducer]

How did the judges decided who was the first place if Artem and Zapata had the same score? I did not understand that.
