  • *Black landed on her face during her first vault, and it was deemed by the judges that her feet did not land first (though replays suggested this may not have been the case). She started to attempt a second vault, but ran past the table due to realising that she was more injured than she thought. She had the option to attempt her second vault again, but declined due to injury.
