We’re almost home. Just one more subdivision to go. I would not expect Romania to have any trouble placing ahead of China, but it may be too much to expect them to challenge Russia or the US. There has been conflicting information about Iordache’s health, but it does appear that she will attempt the AA today. How much difficulty? We wait and see.

Japan needs a 167.332 to advance to Team Finals, which I expect them to get.

Also to watch are the tenuous spots in the Event Finals, such as Afanasyeva’s current 6th place on beam. If two Romanians pass her, it would take only one more routine to knock her out of finals.

Here we go!

The PA announcer has asked me to raise the roof as the athletes enter the arena. No, shan’t.


Rotation 1 – Romania on floor, Japan on bars:

No Bulimar on floor, which is interesting. Depth, yes, but I prefer her to Chelaru. Top floor score so far is 43.757 from the USA, which Romania can beat.

Phan on vault – World Bronze medalist. She’ll start with a DTY. Completely underrotated, landed a bit sideways and put a hand down. Handspring rudi (I think she was attempting layout but I wouldn’t give it), very low and major step to the side. Nowhere near the quality from last year.

Teramoto opens with a big 14.566 on bars for Japan.

Ponor on floor – Yes, please. Fantastic DLO. Quad spin was all the way around. Huge mistake on the third pass. Totally bailed and did a tuck full. Are we going to have to start calling her Mattie Ponor? Double pike was solid. No floor finals for her, then? Boo. Still gets a 14.600 with a botched pass. It actually doesn’t end up changing the D Score much if there’s a backup dance element to count.

Tsurumi on bars – Where is Christine Still to call her an efficient little gymnast when you need it? A few leg breaks and missed handstands. There are things to take, but she has some great qualities as well. 15.033, which knocks Kyla Ross out of finals.

Izbasa on floor – actually, you know, gets her complex dance elements around. Very short on tuck full, but otherwise a strong routine, should be well over Ponor’s score. Yes, 15.066. Second best score so far on floor. The commercials are out of control right now. It’s like after every half routine.

Iordache on floor – let’s see about the injury. Double double is fine and right into the corner. Sticks tuck full. Totally missed her third pass, got no amplitude, didn’t complete the twists and fell. So strike what I said about Ponor not making floor finals. She should be there and Iordache will not.

Still, Romania can drop the score and still have the top floor score of the day, 43.999, but that’s not enough of an advantage given the bars to come.

Japan records a very strong 44.232 on bars, which is 5th on the day and puts them in great shape.  Tanaka shows multiple shaposh elements with good style, few form breaks, great DLO.

I was just about to say how helpful it is to be given the scores for each country after the completion of one rotation when our commentator said it was “more misleading than helpful.” I don’t think he gets it.

Rotation 2 – Romania on vault, Japan on beam:

Shintake on beam – very nice form but few creditable connections, which will keep her score low. Major wobble on the loso, but that’s really the only thing. Clean and pleasant, like all the Japanese routines.

Ponor on vault – very high DTY with a little bit of usual Ponor legs and a smallish hop forward. 15.133, which is a little Ponor scoring because Mustafina’s was better for the same score.

We don’t get to see Isbaza’s first vault which earned an impressive 15.500. “It’s hard to be very autistic in the gymnastics portion.” She meant artistic, right? DTY as second vault, very strong. She should easily move into second place for EF.

Iordache finishes with 15.100, so they will score lower than Russia on this event, but clearly third best.

A few minor stumbles for Minobe on beam, but also some graceful, light work. Extremely low double pike. Head near the ground. 14.133.

Teramoto finishes on beam for Japan – dismounts with a triple full. This team seems very fifth place right now, which is great for them.

Now we get to see Isbaza’s tremendous Mustafina. Not quite as strong as Maroney’s, but very good.

A sleeveless leo from Lithuania is performing on floor. Clean, low difficulty, dismounts with a low double tuck. Van Gerner gets a pretty impressive 14.866 on bars. I didn’t expect that. Almost made finals.

Rotation 3 – Romania on bars, Japan on floor:

Romania is going to bars, so it’s time to brace ourselves. Japan always has very fine work on floor but gets hit for lack of amplitude in the tumbling, so it will be interesting to see what the judges do with this.

As it stands now, it looks like the AA final cutoff is going to be around 54 flat.

Shintake on floor – Not a ton of difficulty (double full third pass), but no real errors, just some minor landing position issues.

Bulimar on bars – better rhythm and handstands than we see from some of the others. Errors like a dead hang and a little piked in her bail hs – she will be in danger of getting no credit for that. 14.000. They’ll take that any day.

Here comes Chelaru – legs are a little insane, straddled gienger. It did look like she got help from the coach, but on replay he probably didn’t on the jaeger. Awkward but fine landing on the dismount. Messy routine that should not score that well. 13.733.

Iordache – the good one, some form breaks in the legs, and a missed handstand, orphan 1/2 a la Komova. Good not great, which is better than usual for Romania. Nice that she will be able to do AA finals. 14.100. It’s fine, but they can’t afford to lose this much ground.

Teramoto on floor – so compact on her tumbling. They’re counting a 13.633 already, so they need her to start getting into the 14s. Not much in terms of obvious deductions to take. Should be a solid score but not near the best. 14.233. That sounds about right and makes it nearly impossible for Japan to fail to make TF. They’ll be there in solid position with GBR as expected. Canada will be the surprise there.

Going into the final rotation, Romania will need a 45.100 on beam to pass China. Very doable, both the US and Russia exceeded that score.


Rotation 4 – Romania on beam, Japan on vault:

Excited to see Romania on beam. Expect Ponor and Iordache to come back for beam finals, but it could be any of them, really.

Bulimar on beam starts with a very encouraging 14.866 for them. They will gladly take that if necessary. Good double pike dismount with a minor hop.

Izbasa on beam – a little legs in an otherwise nice series. Small wobble on switch half, and dismounts with a 2.5 with a larger lunge forward. This will score well, but I would consider Bulimar for Team Finals, or am I crazy? Waiting on the score. 14.600. Yes, may I interest you in Bulimar?

Iordache on beam – major wobble on on back full but stays on. Some great double turns happening today on beam. Wobble again on walkover. Finishes with well-rotated triple full dismount. Much more around than most are. Just OK as a complete routine, though. Too many wobbles. 14.800.

Japan has finished on vault with a 42.033 to go into 5th place for the moment, which will become sixth after Romania finishes beam.

Because bars was so bad, Romania will move behind China in spite of China’s Yao-tastrophe. Interesting.

Ponor on beam – Terrifying switch ring and almost a fall because of it, on other wobble but otherwise confident. Maybe a bit too rushed and aggressive. Big lunge back on double pike. They will need her to be much better at Team Finals. She did not have her best day. 15.033. She has received some fancy creative judging today.

Thus ends our fifth subdivision.

This subdivision comes up too soon! I haven’t yet fully processed the idea that Aly Raisman is in AA finals or why I am inexplicably thrilled about it. I’m no huge Aly fan, nor do I harbor any ill will towards Jordyn. It’s just the joy of the unexpected. I’m going to need 18 montages about this on NBC. Jordyn’s agent needs to be making sure she gets the big “get back on the horse” narrative during team finals so that she can maintain some press from this after we forget that she didn’t make AA finals.

Now it’s up to Mustafina and Komova to make me forget all about Team USA. Don’t be surprised if multiple Russians outscore Raisman. Will Komova stay on all the apparatuses? After Wieber was knocked out, we need Mustafina and Grishina to knock out Komova. (I apologize for saying that.)

What are we going to see from China? Greatness or great mess, neither would be a surprise.

Notes coming soon as we get underway.

Gymnasts emerging already. I would have loved to be around the Russian team when they heard that Wieber was out of AA. It would be further proof that Ksenia Afanasyeva is my face soul mate.

Rotation 1 – Russia on floor, China on beam:

Mustafina beam – very nice DbA, sloppy legs in the 2.5 + full but landed very well. Ha, she almost went OOB on a Y spin. Double tuck is too easy for her. Crazy legs on the triple full. Very nice routine. Let’s see how this compares to the Americans. 14.433, same as Tweddle received.

Colombia’s. Leotard. Deng opens with a big 15.166 on beam.

It’s important that we’ve seen Bounty’s “Got a spill to share?” commercial before China goes on beam. Sui is crazy clean so far in her routine.This is similar to some of her 2011 Worlds routines, almost no deductions. The Bounty commercial did not jinx her, which is vital to note. 15.400, highest score so far.

Seitz bars – almost Wieber’s her shaposh to stalkder half – insane legs in the def but hits it. She’ll get knocked for execution but it’s a dynamic routine. 15.166. Too high given all her form breaks, but I’ll allow it.

We didn’t get to see Komova on floor but she receives just a 13.900. How very Gabby Douglas of her.

Grishina hits the double double but appears to step out afterward and nearly lands out on her triple full as well but maybe stays in, clean double tuck, short on the double pike. 14.066.

Huang gets a 13.866 on beam, which is expected.

Yao on beam, this will be telling as to how well she has recovered. Are we missing Afan on floor, though? Not pleased. Yao is totally off on the standing full. They’ll have to count Huang’s score now. 
Another major break. She is not ready. Hits the rest of the routine. 12.833. China scores a point lower than the US on beam, which was their only hope. Who goes in TF now? Afanasyeva’s floor that we didn’t get to see gets a 14.833. They are behind the US on floor and will drop Komova’s score.

Germany scores the same on bars and Russia on floor. So there’s that.

Rotation 2 – Russia on vault, China on floor:
I’m fascinated to see the Amanar situation for Russia. If they hit two of them, they will have a good shot to pass the US on bars.

My stream has decided to lose right itself before Russia’s vault. Thanks. Let’s get this fixed.

It appears I missed on Grishina on vault. On replay it looks very low with a large step to the side. 14.333. They will want to drop that.

Komova’s Amanar now. Here we go. Beautiful – a little leg form and a little locked legs. Not Maroney level in the air, but it should score right where Wieber and Douglas scored. 15.633.

Mustafina scores 15.133 for a nice DTY. That’s not so much worse than an Amanar.

Paseka – goes for Amanar and lands it pretty well with a step to the side and a little sloppy legs. This is major scoring for Russia. 15.533. They keep within sight of the US. Clean second vault, but I think she was going for layout and I would credit piked.

We see that Sui gets a 14.233 on floor. No finals for her. Huang now. Low on her 2.5 + full. Under on her triple full, verging on credit 2.5, but I think the judges will be nice. There are significant deductions in all of these passes, but she’s doing OK. Low double pike dismount. The judges could really hit her if they wanted to. 13.575. They’ll be counting Deng’s 13.833.

Yao – I’m concerned for her. Minor bounce out of triple full, Just a double full second pass. Double Y is nice. Fall on the third pass. She is nowhere near ready to be back. Frankly, why is she on the team? China will count two scores under 14.

Russia scores 46.299 on vault, 1.300 lower than the US, which they will need to make up on bars, so let’s look for at least 46.300-46.400, which is doable for them. China scores just a 41.641 on floor. Bars may be the only thing that keeps them from being Italy at this point.


Rotation 3 – Russia to bars, China to vault:
I like that Shannon and Other Guy are referring to Russia as “the Russian Federation.” Let’s do that always. It’s more official that way, anyway.

He is vaulting. This is where we are. Her Yurchenko full is very Oregon State leadoff. 13.733. At least Sui didn’t have to go.

Deng on vault – this could go any which way – pretty good. She’s worked on this. No distance and a step, but everyone will take it. 14.833.

We didn’t see Grishina on bars, but she scored less than Aly Raisman.

Mustafina bars – Absolutely excellent. She is having a great day, by the way. A few issues with legs, but little else. She’ll be in finals easily. 15.700.

Huang – DTY – very nice, stuck landing. That will be a good score and desperately necessary.

Komova – Very similar to Mustafina in terms of quality and the minor deductions. Who will score higher? 15.833. Komova wins that little battle, but the Grishina score will be an issue for them catching the US. Paseka touches. Well done.

Yao tries a DTY on vault and plants it to her face. May I once again ask WHY she is doing these routines? What are they going to do for TF? They should still be able to pass GBR, but they cannot imagine being in top 3 at this point.

Russia needs 46.700 on beam to pass the US. I don’t think they can do that.

In the AA, Komova is .1 ahead of Mustafina. Komova needs a 15.033 on beam to pass Raisman. Mustafina needs a 15.133. It’s doable.

Seitz saves Germany on floor after some 13s and a very poor beam rotation. She struggled to stay in bounds and certainly incurred more than a tenth in checks so it was not worth it.

Rotation 4 – Russia to beam, China to bars:

Mustafina beam – double turn, just minor balance. Another wobble. She’s having to check almost all of these acro skills. .1-.3 on every one, plus lost connections. Great amazing double tuck (take notes Kyla), but that was the kind of wobbleburger I expect from Komova. She will not pass Raisman with that. 14.700. Just a few tenths behind the Americans. Don’t think for a second that she can’t win the AA.

Huang bars – she hits it. China needed her today. Some minor breaks and one very late pirouette at the end, so the judges will get her for that, but it’s a good score. 15.266.

He bars – so proficient on the pirouettes but she made that jaeger half just BARELY. A muscled kip, but this is better than she’s been for a fair while. 15.966 below Tweddle. Expect the same in finals.

14.900 for Grishina on beam. Looks like no finals for her.

Chusovitina’s rudi – exact copy of what she’s been doing for 1500 years. Are you allowed to criticize her legs or has she surpassed deductions?

Komova beam – here we go – very clean early on, she manages the double turn and the arabian very well. They will be itching to give this well over a 15. Oooh, major wobble on punch front, and another maor one on the side somi. That could be enough to push her down, it will be VERY close. We’ll see. Great Patterson dismount. 15.266. yes, she moves into first in the AA.

China gets huge bars scores from Yao, He, and Huang to move ahead of GBR quite easily, but they are not in contention with USA or Russia. They would have been with a healthy Yao, but its not like she’s going to get there before TF. She looked months away today.

Current standings with Romania and Japan still to come:
Team:
1. USA – 181.863

We get a break before the final subdivision! Yay!

After skipping our first subdivision due to early start time and lack of competitive teams (what can I say? I’m a scoundrel), it’s time to start this thing for real with Subdivision 2, which includes Italy and Australia.

Neither team off to a great start, with Australia opening floor with a 12.666 from Emily Little.

Rotation 1:

Italy is led on bats by a 14.233 from Vanessa Ferrari, but they are also counting Ferlito’s 13.075. Everyone chasing the 161.295 put up by Brazil in the first group.

Australia earns the top score on floor so far in the competition, a 14.200 for Ashleigh Brennan for a solid routine, finishing with a double pike + leap. 8.500 on execution.

We’ll finish floor with Lauren Mitchell, who is injured as always these days. Double Arabian a little low but complete and landed solidly. Minor stumble out of the double pike. 2.5 to front layout looks regular. Leaps out of everything, including the final double pike. No problems in that routine at all. 14.833.

In the first subdivision, Brazil did not break 13.000 on bars as expected, and the top AA score was Bruna Leal’s 52.765, so expect both Italy and Australia to eclipse those team and individual numbers. It looks unlikely that Dos Santos will make floor finals. Our overall AA leader after one is Gomez Porras with a major 56.132. Anyone who watched Pan Ams last fall is not surprised. Australia leads Italy by 1.500 after the first rotation, Italy to beam, Australia to vault.

Homolova from Slovakia hits a serviceable routine with just a back 1.5 dismount, which makes me revert into NCAA mode (oh, how I miss it. I hunger for a nice SEC dual meet where we really need to start seeing some 196.700s). Steingruber follows her in the mixed group. 

Rotation 2:

Australia on vault, Bonora opens with a pikey but fine YFull. 13.800. Just a minor slide back.

We’re seeing Kononenko on bars, so someone did the necessary homework. It was a nice tkatchev half, but she had no momentum and no amplitude on her connected jaeger and falls. She found the bar but couldn’t hold on. Hits double front. Alas.

Ferrari on beam – bhs layout (lowish), misses aerial bhs layout stepout combo, solid on the acro but missing her connections. I’m not wild about her front leg on that switch ring. Double pike dismount was OK with a hop back.

Little on vault – Really nice on the DTY, just a hop in place. That could score 15 potentially but no, just a 14.766. Australia finished with 42.499 on vault.

Preziosa on beam – nice scorpion turn (you’re right Shannon, I like calling it a ring turn better). Nice sheep. Hands down on the double tuck. Disaster. She was short and rotated very slowly given how little amplitude she got. Buhh, why must you all fall? 13.266. They’ll have to count it.

Ferlito on beam – switch to back tuck, misses connection to sheep, layout 2ft is nice, major wobble on Y spin, but everything else looks on, 2.5 with a leap forward and then an NCAA salute. 14.425 behind Ferrari. She’s praying for beam finals. Pray harder.

Pihan on floor – 1.5 to 2.5 – Shannon is charitable by using the phrase “nice leap” after the pass – This is one her more composed routines. Front double full with lunge out to finish. Good routine, but this isn’t a World Cup event in Slovenia, so it will be the end of that routine for this year. 14.333 is second so far.  

Italy manages a 42.124 on beam, they lose a little more ground to Australia, near a two-point deficit now. Italy to floor, Australia to bars. Both will easily pass Brazil.

Rotation 3:

Steingruber to vault for us – HS Rudi, it used to be a bit better. Lowish with a major hop to the side. Should get credit for the layout but definite deductions for piking. There are so few people doing two vaults that we’ll probably need to make up the EF numbers with a Twix Bar, so she’s under no pressure there. Uh oh, hands down on DTT. Now that’s an issue.

We’re getting a lot of mixed group action. Maksyuta on beam, comes off on series. We have another camera person who is interested in foot close-ups during skills. Do they all go to the same bizarre school? More major wobbles. More falls. Three in all. 

Miller on bars – piked gienger, nice jeager, some late handstands, tuck full dismount is very nice. Good body position. She has fine difficulty, but she’s been a little passed by on the event. Shot of unimpressed Australians drinking beer. 14.025, 7.825 execution. I live for Shannon talking about Peggy.

40.724 for Australia on bars. Very few good scores from any team on this event so far. We’ve seen nothing of Italy on floor in this world feed, but Ferrari got a 14.900 to lead the way. Why was she going second? The concept of score building in modern elite makes me squint.

Fasana to finish floor for Italy – DLO good just a little short with a hop forward. Sturdy tuck full and creditably double Y. Bounces back out of double pike dismount. They will gain a lot of ground on Australia here and should move ahead.

With Italy going to vault and Australia to beam, you like Italy’s chances to stay ahead. It’s bad news for whichever team is in second after this subdivision because it will be totally reliant on poor performances from Canada and the like to make it back.

Ferrari on floor – double doublt is strong – full in to back tuck (at least good rhythm in connection that time even if the concept makes my skin crawl – looks like the judges are into giving credit for it), finishes with double pike with shuffle back.

Rotation 4:

Preziosa on vault – Y full with legs, feet, piking. Very 9.775. We’ll see what that translates to in elite. 13.733.

Ferrari on vault – DTY is slightly underrotated with total tucking and a step. Not great. 14.366.

Bonora on beam – switch to back tuck is strong, pause on walkover layout steput series, nice onodi, side somi with swimming, totally off on side aerial – no chance to save, a very no credit kind of switch ring follows (I havem’t been happy with any switch rings I’ve seen so far, really), double pike with step back. 

Fasana on vault – Y1.5 – OK, a little lacking in distance and another knee bend- not competitve with other teams on this event. Even Canada and GBR are passing them up here. Italy finishes with a 168.397 to go well ahead of Brazil. Ferrari leads the AA with a 57.932.

Brennan on beam – good aerial  + switch + gainer loso series, she’s on so far – pike side somi – nice to see the variation, and then wobbles on the full turn – isn’t that always the way? Hands down on double pike. So many mistakes on dismounts today. This could be the end of things for Australia. They haven’t missed a TF in a long time, but I think we all felt this coming. Not over yet, though. Lauren Mitchell needs to get a 50.

Mitchell on beam – good flight on layout series with step back – major wobble on aerial but stays on – If people would stop calling the tuck turn beautfiul, maybe others would stop doing it. Hits a low double pike dismount. She stays on, but there were serious wobbles. 14.300

After 2 Subdivisions:
1. Italy – 168.397
2. Australia – 166.721
3. Brazil – 161. 295

1. Ferrari – 57.932
2. Gomez Porras – 56.132
3. Ferlito – 55.500
4. Steingruber – 54.715
5. Little – 54.498

Our event leaders are Pena Abreu on vault, who performed her Prod with a 7.833 execution, followed by Steingruber who had that fall. Ferrari leads bars followed by Palesova and Pihan-Kulesza (on bars, seriously? Where is everybody?). Ferrari and Ferlito lead beam with Millousi following. Ferrari leads floor with Mitchell and Pihan-Kulesza following. So, it’s just the Vanessa Ferrari show so far. How 2006 of us.

Back in a few hours for Subdivision 3, featuring the entry of the major teams.
