Why did Anna Pavlova of Russia score ZERO in the final vault?

Question

I watched this and am still at a loss as to why the Judges gave a zero score!

Answer 1

Did she perform her vault on a tennis court? If so, I can maybe see why she was awarded no points. Remembering which arena you are supposed to compete in is SO important...

Answer 2

This is not a tennis question!

Answer 3

i read she went while the red light was up so her second vault was not counted.

i thought she did great.

ohh well

Answer 4

Apparently she completed it under a red light.  Gymnasts have to wait for a green light to start their routine.

Answer 5

i just login to ask the same question.-

i didn't get it, i thought she was great.-

feel sorry for her!!

Answer 6

Yeah i think it was because she went before the green light which has already been mentioned but i don't think it matters where you ask this question. It's hard enough trying to even ask a question led alone trying to do it in the right spot so congrats.

I just think it's bullshit, why do they have stupid rules like that in gymnastics? She obviously would have featured in the medals! It's like that time when the aussies were dq in swimming relay cos they jumped in the pool. The rules a bull!

She should at least be able to do it again. If you serve to your opponent in tennis, you don't just lose the match, you serve it again, it's not that hard. People who make the rules in gymnastics need to seriously look at them and change them cos they're ****.
