Brock Batty’s Performance

Brock Batty, 17, is the youngest trampoline gymnast to enter the Olympics. He’s the only competitor representing Australia for trampolining and on Saturday August 3rd, he had his Olympic debut. 

He is the eighth trampolinist to compete at an Olympic Games, and on Saturday, he placed 13th. He was the second to perform out of the 16 other competitors where he started strong, posting a score of 55.890. Brock, unfortunately, fell during his second routine which led to his final placing and inability to perform in the finals.

Men’s Floor Exercise Final 

And that’s almost a wrap on artistic gymnastics for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Over the weekend there were some individual apparatus finals. 

It’s always good to see gymnasts who show strength in certain apparatuses get to showcase their skills and have a chance to win a medal without the pressure of every other apparatus. 

24 year old, Philippines representative, Carlos Edriel Yulo took home the gold medal for the men’s floor final. Known for his powerful and precise tumbling, Yulo showcased a routine that outshone competitors Artem Dolgopyat of Israel, who scored 14.966 for silver, and Great Britain’s Jake Jarman, who earned bronze with 14.933.
