If you are talking about Anna Pavlova's 2nd vault during the event finals...well she went while the light was still red resulting in a zero. Too bad for Pavlova, it was an amazing vault.

On the vault?

She started her run before the judges gave her the "green light".

Apparently Anna Pavlova did not wait for the green light before commencing her run. Therefore her jump is disqualified.Pretty lame excuse if you ask me because she should have had a flag or something at the start NOT after completion!

She lacks discipline.

probably a DQ

yeah i was wondering about this for a while, i wanted her to win.

it was because she started her sprint towards the vault BEFORE the red light turned to green so they didn't count the vault. i reckon she would have got bronze.

i think she actually did this before in the world championships and lost russia the gold.
