Visual Description:  Big applause following the floor routine.

LYGUL  =  GULLY,  NYLOP  =  PYLON,  DILERB  =  BRIDLE,  PREFIL  =  PILFER   —   Giving us:  LPODEPF

Clue/Question:  The gymnast won the event when she did this.

Answer:  “FLOPPED“

(Pretty liberal usage, guys!  Maybe one of these guys has a kid in gymnastics?  Maybe they’re up on the gymnastic jargon.  But, based on internet gymnastic glossaries, the closest term I could find was “flip-flop” – also known as “flic-flac” – which most of us would know as a back handspring.  I’m guessing it’s the very casual form of flip-flop.  I bet it made a few of you scratch your heads, until you realized that there is nothing else it could be.  Happy Friday, kids!)   — YUR
