Yeah...I was sitting just above table height at the runway end of the arena, and Wickham's was WAY higher and cleaner than Sender"s. I was shocked when I saw the scores. I mean, Sender is good, but there were some problems with the vault results...the stuck handspring double front which got fourth was better than Sender's.

And what was up with all the hype about the guy who did the piked double tsuk? I heard he was great, but that vault was close to a head landing. Does he usually land it?

Crazy vault final.

Ah well.
