Back at it for day 2—and today’s 8 subdivisions of competition. So basically if I die at any point during the meet today, it will be your fault.
In subdivision 3, we start with South Korea and Ukraine. Shin Solyi is only on bars today, which is a surprise because she finished so well in the AA in 2021 and at Korean competitions this year, so that must be a necessity rather than a strategy decision.
Subdivision 3 – Rotation 1
Koslovska – FX – double pike, a coupel steps back – switch 1/2 – switch to split leap full – front tuck through to layout full – double L turn, may have just pulled that around – double tuck, chest down, controls landing
Eom lands somewhat short on a yfull leading off vault for KOR, hop to the side.
Nice split ring from Hribar on beam –
Santi – UB – giant full to a straddle deltchev, which was nice but she couldn’t get up to handstand after that and stops against the bar.
Lee Ys – VT – pretty Yfull, good amplitude, smaller hop. Nice.
Kasianenko – FX – double Arabian, lunge forward – FTDT, chest down, jarred back on landing – falls out of memmel turn attempt – double pike, pulls it around – switch 1/2 – double tuck, bounce back.
Yeo – VT 1 – by FAR the best rudi I’ve seen her do across training and warmup, chest up fairly well, bounce back. 14.366
Trtnik with 11.700 on beam. Kasianenko 12.333 on floor.
Yeo – VT 2 – great amplitude on DTY, lunge back. She was definitely saving those vaults for when it mattered.
Osipova – FX – bounce back 3/1 – double y not quite all the way around – double tuck, step back
Reece Cobb of NZL just through a good bars set. Really good amplitude on her shoot to high bar and nice line on handstands. 11.833
Yeo’s DTY goes 14.133, so she’s in just behind Carey and Chiles on vault.
Lee Dayeong finishes vault for South Korea. Better amplitude on her yfull than the first couple, though also more form in the air.
Rolston-Larking – UB – hits jaeger, some knees – pak, leg bend – stalder full, just does get it around, may be too late – has to do some correction recasts on low bar – finishes with flyaway dismount.
Furac – BB – aerial, smooth – switch, pause before side aerial, arm wave correction – side somi, large break but saves it with a bend forward at the hips – switch 1/2, attacked it, but another large wobble – wolf jump, little pause before sissone – kickover front is secure – back walkover before running for her punch front full dismount. Way over time. 1:44.
So Kasianenko’s 12.333 will rank as Ukraine’s top floor score. South Korea’s vault score comes in about 3 tenths behind Belgium’s.
Subdivision 3 – Rotation 2
Seeing Shin Solyi in this bars warmup with a wrapped ankle and walking very gingerly on it.
Kozlovksa – VT – Ukraine – Just a Yurchenko layout, bounce back
Shin – UB – Korea – maloney, good leg position in pak, very clean – van leeuwen, solid – stalder, slight hesitation – jaeger, nice – toe full, just a bit late into double tuck, small hop. Good one. She has SUCH nice legs-together position on her transition elements.
Kasianenko hits a Yfull, chest a bit forward, medium step to the side back toward center
Eom – UB – maloney to pak to stalder to van leeuwen, solid, just a little leg break in pak – stalder 1/2 to piked jaeger, hit – toe full, late to FTDT, chest down, hop forward. But another pretty solid hit.
Good Yfull from Osipova, slide back.
Cobb – BB -NZL – switch mount – bhs loso series, way short and falls
13.066 for Eom on bars, really solid number following Sin’s 12.8. Lower E but much higher D.
Lee YS – UB – Korea – inbar full, late, pulls it around – inbar shap to pak to van leeuwen, is good today – inbar 1/2 to piked jaeger – 1/2 turn a little late – stalder full to FTDT, deep, larger bounce back. Things to take but again much better than we saw in PT, especially on the shap/pak/vl combination. That was lovely.
Furac with a stumble OOB on floor on her opening double tuck.
Lee Yunseo with a 13.200 on bars to put her 6th. That 7.100 E score is tight for me compared to some of the mid and higher 7s we’ve seen thrown out for leg disasters so far. There were plenty of deductions in Lee’s routine today, but let’s also reward form when we see it.
Lee DY – UB – Maloney to pak, a but close but works out of it – van leeuwen, clean – stalder to stalder 1/2, clips the low bar swinging through to jaeger, toe full to double tuck, deep, bounce back
Hribar – FX – front 2/1, somewhat short, crossover step back – double pike, good height, small bounce – good leap amplitude – split leap full, hop – 2/1, small step – ring positions show good extension.
South Korea goes 39.066 on bars, so they’re about 1.4 behind Belgium’s pace on vault and bars.
Santi of Chile finishes out the rotation. She has two falls early in her beam routine, saves her bhs back pike series with an arm wave – switch side produces the third fall of the routine – side aerial, holds onto it – 2/1 dismount, step forward.
Subdivision 3 – Rotation 3
Lee YS – BB – KOR – hit wolf double – aerial, pause before split to straddle – side somi, holds it – switch to sissone, pretty positions – bhs loso series, no trouble – back 2.5 dismount, lunge forward. Good one overall.
Cobb – FX – NZL – double tuck, stumble back OOB – 2/1, bounce back – switch, split leap full – front layout
Kasianenko with a fall on bars.
12.733 for Lee on beam, which is 5th so far.
11.000 for Kasianenko
Rolston-Larking – FX – NZL – double turn – double pike, bounce back, a couple steps, stays in – front full –
Yeo – BB – really nice front tuck mount – bhs loso series, lean check – pucnh front, small step – wolf double, fine, slightly wobbly – side aerial, another small lean correction – double pike, lunge back but keeps it to her feet. 12.466
Hubareva with a solid 12.766 for Ukraine on bars.
Osipova – UB – can’t get over on her opening toe full attempt and has to hop off the bar
Eom – BB – Korea – bhs mount and falls – fhs front tuck combination, saved with a wobble – aerial, hit – but does have a second fall when her wolf turn goes to pieces – finishes double pike with an excellent landing of course.
Santi with a solid open FTDT on floor, good twisting form on 2.5, connected to front tuck
Osipova 10.600, so Kasianenko’s 11.000 will count. Kozlovska still to come.
Kozlovska – UB – maloney, legs to pak, may have briushed her feet on the mat – van leeuwen, hit with legs – jaeger, good distance from bar but cant cast up out of it, stays on the bar and recasts – giant full – finishes with flyaway.
Lee DY – BB – wolf 1.5ish and tries to pretend that’s what she meant – bhs loso, secure, good position – switch to sissone, some back leg position – aerial, huge bend at the hips all the way over but critically stays on – side aerial, hit – side somi, another huge lean forward, and then a lean back, but once again keeps it on the beam – 2/1, bounce back. Lots to deduct for there, but they desperately needed her to stay on after Eom’s 2-fall routine for 10.500.
Kozlovksa went 10.866 on bars, which will also count.
Subdivision 3 – Rotation 4
Eom – FX – Korea – double tuck, bounce back – 2/1, bounce back, good form – switch ring to split leap full – back 1.5 to front full, some knees, hop forward – tries to pull around wolf double – double pike, larger bounce back.
Kozlovksa off beam on her loso series
Rolston-Larking vaults a Tsuk back pike with a lunge back.
Yeo was short on her DLO landing on floor with a lunge forward but otherwise very secure landings and a strong routine overall.
Osipova off on her mount on beam.
Hribar with a strong 13.033 on bars. Santi had taken a rough fall onto her back on vault in the warmup but hit a DTY for 13.666 in the comp. Second vault is a Tsuk layout 1.5, sits it down.
Osipova went 11.566 on beam.
Kasianenko – BB – Ukraine – front tuck mount pitches her forward to split the beam frontways and hold on for dear life, she ends up having to hop off – keeps her side aerial loso on the beam with a leg up check – sissone to lovely split jump – double tuck dismount, shuffle back. 11.833
Lee YS – FX – good high double tuck, bounce back – 3/1, a little short, step to the side – nice switch ring – switch 1/2 – back 1.5 to front full, little shuffle – wolf 2.25 – double pike, chest down, slide back. 13.100 and 8th on floor.
Savelieva – BB – Ukraine – bhs loso, short landing, great hold to minimize the check – switch, short back leg – side aerial, sevure – aerial, large bend at the hips all the way over, stays on – side somi, hesitation correction – back 1.5 dismounb, lunge forward
Lee DY – FX – somewhat falls out of memmel turn but in a way that makes it almost a 2.5 – 2/1, step back – double pike, very deep – switch ring, split leap full, short of split – back 1.5 to front full and falls – 2/1, a couple steps back. 10.033
So South Korea will not be able to catch Belgium. They were really missing Shin Solyi on most of the events today.
After 3:
United States – 167.263
Belgium – 156.063
South Korea – 153.363
Spain – 149.162
Ukraine – 142.729
Lee Yunseo moves into 7th in the AA with 51.833, Yeo is in 3rd on vault, Lee YS and Eom are 6-7 on bars, Lee YS is 5th on beam and 8th on floor.
Subdivision 4 – Rotation 1
We’re up for the Australia, Hungary, Sweden subdivision. The big development for Australia is the illness withdrawal of Emily Whitehead. We’ll see how that affects a team that looked pretty prepared in PT. But now Georgia-Rose Brown is among the five and doing bars, and she didn’t do a whole lot in training that we saw.
Hungary will indeed not have Kovacs on floor or bars, and is going with just three on floor.
Szilagyi – FX – (so Makovits ended up the alternate rather than Szilagyi) – FTDT, chest forward, secure landing – 2.5 to front full, some leg crossing – switch ring and split ring, low front leg on the switch – front full, sances out of it a bit – double pike, hop to the side – split leap full to finish. Good job. 12.266
R Brown – UB – Australia – toe full, good finish to maloney to pak, clean work – van leeuwen, solid leg position – a bit short on cast – blind to markelov, hit – FTDT, chest forward, step, but a strong start for Australia.
Bacskay – FX – Hungary – good height on double pike, small hop back – 2.5 to front tuck, somewaht short, slide back – switch side to popa is a little short but she’s already doing the NCAA combo – 2/1, hop forward.
Nice high Tkatchev to pak combo for McDonald on bars – van leeuwen, clean – finishes FTDT, small hop forward, Good one.
14.066 for McDonald on bars is huge and puts her 3rd there, ahead of Chiles on E score.
Solid Yfull for Paulsson on vault for Sweden, good layout shape, bounce back
Godwin – UB – weiler, small pause before weiler 1/2 but fine – maloney to pak is clean – short cast hs – van leeuwen, legs together – piked jaeger is good – small hestiation in cast 1/2 – giant full – DLO, holds the stick. Great.
Going to be three big counting scores for Australia on bars already, but they will still have GR Brown go.
13.333 for Godwin brings Australia to 40.932, which will way ahead of Belgium’s bars.
GR Brown – UB – toe full, good form to stalder shapo to pak, loses her legs a little – maloney to geinger hit – toe 1/2 to jaeger, pretty – doubel front, hop forward. I’m impressed. She did like nothing in PT and fell in the warmup here and then pulled out a fairly brilliant bars routine in competition.
13.400 for her will count for the team score and bring it up to 41.032 on bars.
Mayer finishes floor for Hungary with a solid double tuck. Hungary will be counting an 11.533 from Bacskay since they’re putting up only 3 on floor. 12.833 for Mayer.
Subdivision 4 – Rotation 2
R Brown – BB – Australia – wolf double, higher position but hit – bhs loso, secure landing, good height – switch to split jump to bhs, clean – aerial, arm wave correction – side aerial, just some feet, solid – 2/1 dismount, lunge back. Good. 1 down, 2 hits to go.
Looks like Dildora Aripova has scratched.
Emelie Westlund starts Sweden with 13.000 on bars.
Eriksson – UB – Sweden – maloney to pak, some legs – van leeuwen, leg break – jaeger, a little low but hit – giant full – double tuck, step salute.
12.266 for R Brown.
McDonald – BB – Australia – switch mount good – side aerial a pretty large break, bend at the hips, keeps it on – bhs loso and falls – resumes with aerial to straddle jump to korbut, solid combination – wolf double was wobbly from the start and a second fall – finishes 2.5 dismount, deep, lunge forward. They’ll need to drop this because otherwise TF is realistic given that bars performance.
N Westlund – UB – Sweden – maloney to pak, gorgeous – van leeuwen and can’t grab the bar and falls, a shame because she has such high scoring potential here. Resumes and hits her vl – Lovely high jaeger – giant full – DLO, bounce back.
12.466 for Westlund even with the fall. Basically the same E score as Lee YS.
Paulsson – UB – Sweden – toe full – maloney to pak, legs van leeuwen, hit – blind to piked jaeger, great height – double tuck, step forward.
Kovacs vault is just a yfull, so high and easy for her. And it looks like she’ll scratch her second vault.
Finally have a score for McDonald, 10.733
Godwin – BB – aerial to straddle to sissone is strong – side somi, no trouble – bhs loso, small arm wave, some soft knees – switch to side aerial, slight foot movement – pulls around wolf triple, lean forward – double pike dismount, chest down, hop forward. A second hit for AUS.
39.600 for Hungary on vault, which is still solid, just a touch behind South Korea there.
13.000 for Godwin is 4th on beam.
Scott – BB – Australia – switch mount, good – bhs layout 2 feet series is huge but she can’t hold onto it, grabs the beam to try to save it, eventually comes off – side aerial, hit – aerial, good position – wolf single – pretty split and wolf positions – switch to split to bhs, quick combination – front tuck, hit, step forward – double pike, deep but hit, lunge back. Should still improve the team score from McDonald’s 2 fall routine, but Australia has opened the door with a counting beam fall.
11.966 for Scott moves Australia to 37.232 on beam, which is ahead of Belgium’s beam score.
Subdivision 4 – Rotation 3
R Brown – FX – Australia – wolf 2.75ish – double tuck, high bounce back – back 1.5 to layout, larger bounce forward – switch ring to switch 1/2 – double pike, chest forward, a couple steps.
Nice loso series from N Westlund on beam – clean aerial combination – side aerial, arm wave –
Szilagyi starts Hungary on bars with 11.633.
Bacskay hits her kindorff to pak combination on bars, so high on the hindorff. DLO, pikes it a lot but lands it under control.
12.733 for Brown on floor is a good start.
We have a fall for Paulsson on beam.
Godwin – FX – Australia – wolf triple is around – front lay to double front, saves the landing today with a deepish stumble, but better than PT where she was falling – DLO, high, a bit uncontrolled on the bounce back – double Y spin, I’d say that’s around – switch and split full, some back leg form – front full, step – double pike, bounce back. Not her best landings today but a hit.
Mayer – Ub – hungary – nice high Ray but can’t get her pak in combination, her feet hit the floor before her hands hit the bar and she’s off – finishes with a flyaway dismount. Without Kovacs and Makovits, the Hungarian bars lineup is hurting.
Eriksson off beam on her loso series. Second fall on side somi.
12.933 for Godwin, which is actually a pretty good floor score for her event though she can do a lot better. Floor scores high so far at this event.
Scott – FX – Australia – FTDT, good position, step back – front tuck through to double back, bounces OOB with both feet – double pike, deep, bounce back OOB again with one foot.
Szekely delivers a necessary strong routine for Hungary on bars – such high piked jaeger.
Emelie Westlund with another fall for Sweden on beam. Comes back with lovely bhs loso series.
13.766 on bars for Szekely, which is 5th.
Lineup change for Australia as GR Brown will come in on floor instead of McDonald. She’ll try to drop Scott’s 12.066 in the previous position.
Seems like the scoreboard is having trouble with the lineup change, so they’re holding Brown even though Scott’s score is long since in.
GR Brown – FX – Australia – double y attempt into illusion, not all the way doubel y, lovely split full – deep landing on back 2.5, but saves it with a step – double tuck, can’t pull it around and hands down – split ring and switch ring are nice – L turn probably no credit, leg below horizontal – 2/1, small hop –
I think she wouldn’t have imagined she’d be called upon to do a floor routine here, but circumstances dictate.
Australia will give back nearly the entirety of their lead on Belgium in that rotation, but will still have one heading to vault, where Belgium went 40.099.
Subdivision 4 – Rotation 4
McDonald is also not warming up vault, so it seems something must have happened in that beam routine. Because now GRB has to warm up vault. Whitehead and McDonald down is putting huge strain on this team.
The warmup is done and they still don’t have a score for GRB’s floor in the last rotation.
Bacskay – BB – Hungary – hits loso mount – bhs loso series, leg-up check, some knees – switch to straddle jump, short – side somi, holds onto it with an arm wave – side aerial, secure – 2/1 dismount, step to the side.
Wingren – FX – Sweden – double pike, clean, slide back – switch side – 1.5 to front tuck, hit, hop forward – switch side 1/2, pulls around, slight lack of control on landing – double tuck, lunge forward
GR Brown – VT – Australia – clean Yfull, medium hop back, good.
11.366 for Bacskay.
Kovacs – BB – Hungary – switch mount is good – connects to switch 1/2, low, to korbut – side aerial to bhs, hit – aerial to straddle check – split jump to wolf jump – side somi, solid – switch – double tuck, chest well down but secure landing. One of her best beams of the year.
And 13.533 puts her into 2nd on beam.
Romi brown good distance yfull, bounce back –
Godwin – VT – Australia – good landing on Tsuk 1.5, hop to the side
Karla Navas peels off the low bar on pak catch.
Australia currently 3 tenths behind Belgium, waiting on Scott’s vault, which will be another Yfull. Good in the air, some pike, bounce back. Can she make up 3 tenths on the other fulls?
Mayer – BB – Hungary – front pike mount, step forward – wolf double, around – bhs lay-pike, secure landing – switch leap, good position – side aerial, solid – switch ring, back leg question – side somi, solid – double tuck dismount, step back. 12.766
N Westlund – FX – Sweden – switch leap full to stag – double pike, bounce back – does have a Bambi fall on a front full in her last pass.
It was enough from Scott! Australia moves ahead of Belgium by exactly .032 and will sit in 2nd place as a team. Could be significant.
Szilagyi – BB- Hungary – split handstand to one arm mount, more hesitant today than in PT but does get there in the end – wolf turn 1.5, big lean, keeps it on – side aerial, small lean – switch to straddle – bhs bhs loso series, solid – aerail to split jump, hit – side somi, arm wave correction – double tuck, bounce back. 12.133
Paulsson finishes this subdivision with a 12.600 on floor.
After 4:
USA – 167.263
Australia – 156.095
Belgium – 156.063
Korea – 153.363
Hungary – 152.296
Godwin moves into 4th in the AA with her 52.866, the best non-US score. Kate McDonald is in 3rd on bars, Szekely is into 5th, Romi Brown is 6th. Kovacs is 2nd on beam, Godwin is 5th, Mayer in 7th. So lots of changes in the top 8 there.
Subdivision 5 – Rotation 1
Zhang – BB – candle, hit – switch ring, check – bhs bhs layout 2 ft, good, step back – aerial, pause before split ring jump, another pause – full turn – switch to sheep, lean at hips – stuck 2/1 dismount. No major errors there but lots of broken connections. 12.833
Spence – UB – toe full to maloney to pak, hit – can leeuwen, solid – blind to jaeger, good – dismounts double tuck, slide back.
Nathan – VT – hits a Yfull, medium lunge back, good direction.
12.800 for Spence on UB.
I know Ellie Black is doing routine visualization right now but it looks like she has fallen asleep in her chair.
Denomee – UB – Canada – front toe 1/2 to maloney – van leeuwen, hit – gienger is nice, she’s going to lose a lot on handstands but a solid routine – giant full – front tuck 1/2 dismount. 12.866
Tang – BB – loso mount is very clean – ro 2 foot layout is right on, pause before split jump – switch to split ring to bhs, broke connection – switch ring – switch 1/2 and falls, alas, looked tentative on that element, didn’t get up to her usual split position – aerial, was lovely and then got hesitant working out of it with a check – double pike, solid
Black – UB – maloney to hindorff, hit – Black to Yezhova very nice – van leeuwen, small leg break – giant full – toe on tuck 1/2. Excellent for her.
Long wait for the scores for both Tang and Black.
13.933 for Black, which is 5th on bars.
Turner – UB – Canada – inbar, good flat position – inbar 1/2 to piked jaeger, clean – toe full, late – pak, pretty – maloney to stalder 1/2, late – DLO, small bounce back.
12.466 for Tang.
Ou – BB – fhs front tuck, large break but stays on, leg up wobble – switch, pause before switch 1/2 into lovely korbut – switch ring, small step – split ring jump to bhs to split jump, hit – aerial to straddle jump, lean before bhs – hits side somi – 2.5 dismount, step. Ou Yushan is the one who hits beam now. Like Zhang, she had a number of small hesitations and broken connections even when she looked on, but a hit.
13.166 for Turner.
Canada 39.965 on bars, which is a little more than a point behind Australia’s bars score.
Still waiting on the score for Ou. Every other event is long done. China is like, “You will have to confer over every single one of our connections.”
13.900 for Ou is the top beam score.
Luo – BB – China – front walkover mount, lovely – ro 2 foot layout and falls – cancel worlds – switch to split ring, pause before bhs – switch ring, little arm wave before bhs – aerial, way short and a second fall – stag ring to korbut is lovely – Yurchenko loop to her belly and basically almost rolls forward to flop on the ground but I think held her feetup – double tuck dismount, super deep, large lunge forward, just did once again avoid a fall. Thanks, I hate it here.
China will be on 39.199, which is still high in the grand scheme but not nearly the beam score they were looking for. And we’re probably looking at only 1 Chinese beamer in the final.
I love that Luo still got 10.766 when basically falling 4 times.
Subdivision 5 – Rotation 2
Tang – FX – China – pulls out 2/1 to punch front, legs in 3/1 – 2.5 to front pike lands completely OOB – quad turn attempt was better today, but I’d say triple credit, but no huge deductions – double pike, chest well down but under control – split leap full and the rebound got fully crazy in the air and she was like, don’t worry about it, this is choreography and not a droopy fall.
Pedrick is off beam on her side somi, and she goes 11.700
13.066 for Tang on floor, which they’ll take.
Ou – FX – China – whip whip to 3/1, step to the side – back 2.5 to front tuck, step – double tuck, step back – switch ring and switch 1/2 – falls out of double L turn a little. But she’s the one who showed up the most so far today.
Spence – BB – Canada – candle mount, hit – hits wolf turn – aerial, knee to split jump wolf jump – bhs lay-pike, secure – side somi, hit – switch to switch 1/2 to bhs, pretty quickly connected – 1.5 dismount, step
Bachurina off bars on the low bar on a 1/2 turn that turned into a full turn that turned into a goodbye. And now she seems to have injured her hip area on her dismount.
12.533 for Spence. 13.400 for Ou Yushan.
Zhang – FX – China – falls out of quad turn attemp, not too bad – 2.5 to front pike, lands fully OOB – switch ring to siwtch 1/2, solid – whip to 3/1, bounce back – memmel turn, definite credit – double pike, deep, another lunge back OOB
Turner saves her loso series and her front aerial, large break at the hips – 12.866
Bachurina is being helped off the podium by medical staff.
Black – BB – Canada – switch mount, hit – switch 1/2, short of split, connected to korbut – double turn, hits it with a lean – front tuck, nice – bhs layout 2 feet, secure – side somi, solid – 2.5 dismount, small hop. Good work.
Ooof just 12.366 for Zhang on floor.
Wei hits 3/1 to front tuck – double tuck is shortish with an arm wave and step forward – 2.5, step lunge out – nice switch ring and switch 1/2.
Black went 13.266 on beam, which is now 4th place, ahead of Jones who drops to 5th.
Wei goes 12.733 on floor, which will count for the team score as China scores the same on floor as on beam. So that’s how beam went.
Subdivision 5 – Rotation 3
Pedrick – FX – Canada – popa, good completion – 1.5 through to 3/1, attempt, well short, lunges forward – froqnt tuck through to 2/1, slide back – double pike, step back – 12.900
Tang – VT – China – Yfull, pikes it down to get it, bounce back. 13.000
Ou – VT – China – similar to Tang, some pike in a yfull, but nearly had more control on landing until a kind of large arm wave cropped up on her small step to the side. 13.000 for her as well
Turner – FX – Canada – memmel turn to full turn – 3/1, step back
Zhang – VT – China – Tsuk 2/1 is a lot better than training, chest down and leg crossing but clearly hit and a medium step back. 13.833.
Wei – VT – China – yfull, piking, bounce back, a little more crunched on the table but still got some distance.
Turner 13.300 on floor.
Black – FX – Canada – popa, good – front full to double pike, step back – front 2/1 to front tuck, hop – split leap full, some low back leg – switch full, around – 2.5, some leg crossing, crossover step. Good. 13.266
Denommee – FX – Canada – nice high double tuck, small step right into the corner – split leap full – DLO, good amplitude, shuffle back, looked like she just stayed in – switch to switch 1/2 – wolf turn double – double pike, chest forward, hop. 13.266
Canada on pace to go comfortably ahead of Australia now, actually ahead of China overall now, but China still gets to go to bars.
Bachurina is back out doing beam, which surprises me after how much pain she looked after bars
Nathan – BB – Singapore – punch front moutn, step forward – switch 1/2, shorter, step abck – side aerial to loso series and falls – punch front, short, saves it with a bounce back – wolf to straddle – 2/1, about an 1/8 twist under, hop.
Subdivision 5 – Rotation 4
Yildiz with a very solid bhs bhs loso series on beam – straight jump 1/1 from side – aerial, a bit short but holds it into split jump wolf jump – side aerial, arm wave – check full turn –
Ou – Ub – China – van leeuwen, clean – blind to healy to piked jaeger, just a little close – pak, pretty – toe on to maloney to gienger – short cast hs on high – FTDT, little hop. Amid all the all-over-the-place China has been today, Ou has been the star. 14.166
Spence – VT – Y1.5 – hits it well, knees, medium hop forward. 13.633
Wei – UB – inbar full to komova to pak, clean – van leeuwen, good – inbar 1/2 to healy, a bit crooked but worked through it into piked jaeger – DLO 1/1, solid, some pike, little hop.
Denommee – VT – Canada – also hits a Y1.5, a bit more knees than Spence, larger hop forward
14.600 for Wei puts her behind Derwael, ahead of Jones in 2nd on bars.
Luo – UB – China – healy to ling to layout jaeger, nice – pak, clean – maloney to gienger, strong – healy 1/2 – FTDT, hop to the side. That was the one.

Pedrick’s second vault is a ro 1/2 on front tuck with a stumble back.

Subdivision 7 – Rotation 1
We’re back from the break for the Netherlands/Japan/Finland subdivision, where Japan and the Netherlands will be aiming at minimum to beat that Australian 156.095 because that’s starting to look like the absolute score that must be defeated for TF.
Current last-in scores to watch are Black’s 13.933 on bars, Casabuena’s 12.966 on beam, and Melanie’s 13.266 on floor.
Netherlands was like, “Fuck this no-stage thing, we’re still going to choreograph something and Eythora is the star of this class.”
Sakaguchi – FX – Japan – FTDT, chest a little down, step back – popa – 3/1, lovely in the air, good control on landing – switch ring – split leap full, around – back 1.5 to front full, little hop to the side – 2.5, a bit short, step back.
Volleman – UB – Netherlands – shaposh to gienger, solid height – little arch in hs – jaeger, good distance – bail, clear vertical – clear hip to shoot to high – giant full, slightly crooked – FTDT, small hop.
13.066 for Sakaguchi.
I like the part where my browser fronze during Eythora’s perfect bars routine, so it didn’t save the quick hits, but it was glorious. Honestly should get the highest E score on bars of the meet so far.
13.833 for Thorsdottir with 8.333 execution. So not quite the highest but it should have been.
Visser – UB – Netherlands – stalder tkatchev 1/2 to yezhova, one of her better editions – stalder full to stalser shap to pak – van leeuwen, legs together – giant full – FTDT, little hop. Another excellent one.
Miyata – FX – Japan – DLO 1/1, some loose legs throughout but controlled the landing pretty well – whip whip to 2.5, little hop – 1.5 to front full, hop forward – switch – split leap full, short of split – double pike, stuck landing, chest down.
14.400 for Visser puts her in 5th on bars.
Veerman – UB – Nehterlands – jaeger, hit – stalder tkatchev piked to pak to maloney to bhardwaj, hit combo, some leg form in bhardwaj – toe full to van leeuwen, some feet – FTDT, small hop.
That was the best bars rotation NED could have hoped for.
14.533 for Veerman puts her in 5th now on bars. I have some issues with the closeness of her E score to the previous two.
Miyata went 13.600 on floor (!) which puts her 4th.
Watanabe – FX – Japan – double back, bounce – popa – 2.5 to front pike, good amplitude on pike – switch 1/2 – double turn, tried triple but was under – back 1.5 to front full, hit – 2/1, stuck.
Netherlands with a huge 42.766 on bars, ahead of the US there
Peterkova falls on her front walkover mount on beam – resumes with aerial, check – switch to split to straddle, well connected – bhs loso series, 2nd fall – switch ring was hit – punch front full, step forward.
Japan 39.766 on floor is up toward the top there, 3rd-best floor score.
Subdivision 7 – Rotation 2
Volleman – BB – bhs mount, keeps it on with a step back and arm wave – illusion turn, hit – fhs, then a kickover front, kind of connected, check – L turn, hit – side somi, secure – double turn, hits it – switch to cat leap – korbut – gainer layout dismount, solid landing.
Tanskanen with a solid hit on bars, ending with a double tuck, step to the side.
Sakaguchi – VT – Japan – very good DTY, small slide back and some chest forward.
12.533 for Volleman.
Thorsdottir – BB – Netherlands – loso mount and falls immediately – aerail is lovely, pause before split, pause before bhs – side aerial to loso, 2nd fall – L turn to switch to y spin to full turn, pretty combination but risking combo credit – illusion, turn to the side correction – 2.5 dismount, lunge forward.
Yamada went 13.233 on vault.
Miyata – VT – Japan – DTY – NAILED her DTY, what an excellent landing, just some leg crossing.
Kuusikko went 12.866 on bars.
Hautala – UB – Finland – toie 1/2 with leg break to jaeger, hit – Hindorff supppper close but worked out of it – bail, small leg break on catch – toe full, crooked late but continues – toe shoot – double pike dismount, two lunges back.
Miyata VT 2 – deep landing on Tsuk1.5, a couple lunges back to save it.
De Ruiter falls on her mount on beam – bhs loso series is hit, just a bit of knees – aerial, check – L turn, large break, lean to the side, bend at the hips – side aerial, secure landing – 1.5 dismount, little movement.
Makela – UB – clear hip to maloney to pak, small leg breaks – misses van leeuwen, can’t catch, well short of the high bar – resumes with a good jaeger – toe 1/2 – giant full, late finish – DLO, hop forward
Eythora went 11.666 on beam, de Ruiter 11.233 despite one fewer fall.
Visser – UB – Netherlands – bhs mount is good – switch, pause before side somi, hit – split jump 1/2 from side is hit – straight jump full from side, also on – side aerial to bhs, lean correction – double turn is lovely – split leap to sissone, pretty – ro bhs 2/1, little hop.
Japan went 41.633 to stay in very good shape.
For as good as Netherlands was on bars…then there was beam. 36.932 there, which ranks 8th so far.
Subdivision 7 – Rotation 3
Volleman – FX – Netherlands – triple turn is around – double tuck to punch front, cowboys the double tuck, but secure – double L turn to illusion, I’m glad she’s not going that held-leg double turn anymore – 2.5, step forward – doubel y spin – switch 1/2 – I’d say she gets credit for that quad turn, connects to double turn. The first real quad turn we’ve seen at the meet. 13.200
Kuusikko hits beam, slide back on 1.5 dismount.
Yamada leads off Japan on bars with 13.666
Watanabe – UB – Japan – stalder to stalder shap to pak, good height – maloney to bail, big arch but brings it back to toe shoot – toe full blind to jaeger, hit – toe 1/2 – DLO, small step into salute step. 12.933
Visser – FX – Netherlands – deep 3/1 to front tuck, though not as deep as training – double L turn t- double turn – double y to illusion probably gets credit for all of that – 2/1, bounce back – switch ring and split leap full – double tuck, landed in a ball but hit and under control. 13.666
Miyara – UB – Japan – jaeger, solid – arch on handstand, brings it back – Church to pak, pak is too close and she has to muscle up to toe on – maloney to gienger, solid – short hs on high – giant full – FTDT, hop to the side. Well iot was an adventure but she stayed on.
Thorsdottir – FX – Netherlands – 3/1 to front tuck is hit – double L a little inder, connected to double turn, double y, illusion – double tuck, step back – switch ring to split leap full, a little tight on the split leap – back 1.5 to front tuck and falls, got nothing into that front tuck. A mournful ending indeed.
Watanabe’s bars score is out first inquiry of the meet.
13.500 for Fukasawa, so Japan goes 40.099 on bars, keeping them ahead of Canada’s team score pace.
Tanskanen – BB – Finland – spins herself right off the beam on a double wolf attempt. When wolf turns attack – resumes with bhs loso loso series, check – hits side somi – aerial, solid – 2/1 dismount, step back.
Eythora 12.466 with a fall.
De Ruiter – FX NED – split leap full – double pike, looks like she got her feet stuck under her and sat down – front full, step – double tuck, secure landing – switch ring – switch 1/2 –
Watanabe’s inquity was accepted and her routine is up to 13.233, which takes Japan’s bars up to 40.399.
Subdivision 7 – Rotation 4
Sakaguchi – BB – Japan – switch to split to straddle, strong – side aerial to loso, secure, good amplitude – switch ring, not quite there – aerial, just a little short but a secure landing – wolf double comes through, a little slow – side somi, hit – 2.5 dismount, step forward. Very good job.
Visser – Vt – solid layout position in her yfull, bounce.
Big 13.466 for Sakaguchi on beam!
Yamada – BB – Japan – wolf double, clean – switch leap, nice – bhs loso, arm wave – front tuck, deep, but holds it securely – aerial, hit – split ring leap – side aerial, secure – double pike, chest really low but landed
Thorsdottir hits her DTY, a couple steps back. 13.800
Visser goes into 4th in the AA between Ou and Black. De Ruiter also hits her yfull. Critical score to see if Netherlands can pass Canada in the team scores. Otherwise, TF will be tough.
Miyata with a large break on her 2 foot layout on beam but stays on – switch to sissone, hit – aerial to split jump to bhs – double turn, has to turn to the side to keep it together but does – side aerial, secure – side somi, hit – double pike, chest down but good control.
De Ruiter’s score will not improve Netherlands’ total, so they’ll end up about three tenths behind Canda.
The Miyata routine will take Japan above Canada when her score comes up. And it’s a 13.700, which takes them .002 ahead of France as well.
Watanabe – BB – Japan – front pike mount, excellent – 2 foot layout, nailed it – switch to switch 1/2, nice positions – aerial, check, arm wave – full turn, good – side aerial, strong – 2.5 dismount, hop to the side.
Very impressive day for Japan and we’ll wait to see if this score is enough to pass China.
13.600 for Watanabe. Insanely good beam score for Japan overall, and that will put them ahead of China.
After 7
USA – 167.263
Japan – 162.564
China – 162.064
France – 161.428
Canada – 159.661

Australia – 156.095
Belgium – 156.063
Miyata moves into 4th in the AA and Visser is 5th. Veerman and Visser in the top 8 on bars for now. Miyata and Watanabe on pace to make the beam final at this point. Miyata may also make the floor final.
Subdivision 8 – Rotation 1
It’s Brazil time. Brazil will view Japan’s 2nd-place score right now as very beatable, so 2nd place should be the goal here.
Danusia just said the words “Rebeca Andrade” and then we heard some sort of banshee shriek of excitement from the right.
Soares – BB – Brazil – eponymous candle 1/2 mount – wolf double, slight hesitation, fine – bhs loso, large break, lean to the side, keeps it on the beam – aerial, pause before split jump, pause before back tuck – swtich, nice – split leap 1/2, secure – wolf jump to sissone – bhs bhs double pike, lunge back. A nervvvvvyyyy routine but she stayed on.
Malewski went 12.666 to start Germany on floor.
Macias – UB – Argentina – toe full to stalder shap to pak, nice combination – can leeuwen – toe 1/2 to jaeger, good height – double tuck, hop forward. Pretty good routine.
12.466 for Soares on beam.
Andrade – BB – Brazil – switch mount, small arm wave – switch to switch 1/2 to split, good work – bhs loso, large leg up wobble, brings it back – aerial to split ring – switch ring, small check – side aerial, nice – wolf jump to sissone, good back leg position – full turn – ro bhs double pike, step back. One larger break but otherwise solid.
Quaas 12.233 FX for Germany.

Andrade 13.400 on beam.
Saraiva – BB – bhs mount, good – split jump to korbut, hit – 2 foot layout, secure – full turn – bhs loso loso and falls – FLAVIA – switch ring, secure, bealitful – aerial to split ring jump – side somi, lean forward – split leap to sissone – double pike, step back. FLAVIA.
Koenig – FX – Germany – double tuck, good control – 1.5 to front full low but solid, little hop forward – switch to split leap full – wolf double, rises out of it but around – 2.5, step forward.
Long wait for Flavia’s skill. Donatella probably over to figure out how to get her into the final anyway.
13.000 for Koenig on floor. 38.266 total for Germany.
Flavia’s score in with 12.900 with a fall.
Pedro – BB – Brazil – switch to split 1/2, secure – bhs loso series and falls – resumes with solid aerial to split to bhs – finishes with double tuck, step back.
So we’re looking at Brazil with a 38.766 on beam, which is still 4th on the event. Now they’ll be aiming for a team score that hits 41 on floor to try to make up the 2 point beam gap against Japan.
Subdivision 8 – Rotation 2
Seitz leads off vault for Germany with her Yfull, solid, high, easy for her, bounce back. 13.466
Pedro – FX – Brazil – whip to double arabian, step forward, keeps it in bounds – double tuck, bounce back – split jump full, a low front leg there – switch – swithc leap full – 2/1, legs crossing, bounce back – switch 1/2 – double pike, chest down, minor step back. 12.833
Martinez falls on beam for Argentina.
Koenig – VT – Germany – Tsuk layout full – clean in the air but a large bounce back and another little hop
Soares – FX – Brazil – double arabian, bounce forward OOB – FTDT, stuck landing – double y spin, switch ring to split leap full – wolf triple, gets it around – doubel tuck, little bounce – split jump full – doubel pike, bounce back
13.466 for Soares.
Andrade – FX – Brazil – front full through tFTDT, nice job, cone step back – DLO 1/1, solid layout position, lunge back – swiotch 1/1 is around – falls out of double Y spin with a stumble on one foot – DLO, great today, bounce back – split leap full – double pike, a little out of control on the bounce back but stays in. Much better than podium training.
Andrade goes 14.200 for first place on floor even with falling to Mercury on her Memmel.
Saraiva – FX – Brazil – whip to FTDT, solid landing, step – switch full, excellent – DLO, a little deep, step back stayed in bounds – split leap 1.5, wrenches it around – switch ring 1/2, the only who who is allowed to try it – 1.5 to front full, solid landing – double pike, chest forward but control the landing.
Brazil will definitely easily break that 41 mark on floor.
Flavia also goes 14.200 on floor but is ahead of Andrade on execution. Brazil goes 41.866 on floor to nearly match the US number there.
Subdivision 8 – Rotation 3
Wildi – BB – SUI – hits her front pikel mount with a check – falls on loso series –
Koenig very close catch on a Jaeger on bars
Pedro – VT – Brazil – Yfull – good hit, bounce back with both feet, some leg separation. 12.933
Malewski – UB – piked jaeger, hit – pak to toe on toe toe full, good finish position – hits van leeuwen – doubel front, hop back. A good one. 13.333
Saraiva – VT – Brazil – hits her DTY, just a little jarring with her chest forward on landing but not a ton of movement.
Mesropian – FX – Argentina – double tuck, a bit forward, hop – 2/1, bounce back, some leg crossing – switch to split leap full –
Andrade – VT 1 – Cheng is magnificant, very high, pretty, landed just ever so slightly forward with a hop. A casual 15.066 nonetheless
Andrade – VT 2 – WHHAAAAAAA she botches her DTY attempt and ends up just doing a yurchgenko back tuck. We’re far away from the steps portion of the vault runway but I assume something was wrong with them.
Seitsz – UIb – Germany – stalder shap to ricna – jaeger, good – Church to pak, very clean – van leeuwen, small leg break – toe full, good into FTDT, hop to the side. Good work. Bars final is starting to get tiggghttt.
I’m really hoping Andrade still makes vault final with a 3.00 D score second vault.
Ooooh 14.400 for Seitz is into just 7th on bars. This is such a tough final. That bumps melanie to 8th with the Italians still to go.
11.466 for Andrade’s second vault, which puts her in 11th on vault (10th with 2 per) so she will not make the vault final. GASP.
Oliveira – VT – Brazil – fairly messy Yfull, lots of knees and feet and a bounce back
Brazil will still go 41.832, which gains them tenths on Japan.
Subdivision 8 – Rotation 4
Quaas is off on her bhs loso series for Germany.
Pedro – UB – Brazil – shaposh to pak, some leg break to toe full – maloney to bail to toe shoot, solid – blind to jager, high, foot form – double pike, feet, hop forward. 12.800
Oliveira – UB – Brazil – maloney to pak, pretty – toe on to van leeuwen, clean – front giant full to piked jaeger – doubel front 1/2 out dismount, step to the side. Good. 13.233
Some super secure acro elements from koenig on beam – kickover front a bit more shaky but nice work.
Saraiva – UB – Brazil – toe full good finsih into piked tkatchebv to pak, solid – toe on to maloney to gienger, hit – only dismounts with a flyaway after that vault landing. So that will be something to watch in later phases of the comp.
Schoenmaier with a big wobble on her front tuck mount on beam but keeps it on. Lean correction on loso series.
13.200 for Saraiva.
Andrade – UB – Brazil – maloney to stalder full to piked tkatchev to pak, lovely – van leeuwen, legs right together – blind to piked jaeger, hit – toe full to FTDT, stuck landing. Amazing.
14.666 adn third place.
Malewski – BB – Germany – loso mount, secure – sdie aerial to loso, leg-up wobble, keeps it on. Switch to switch 1/2 to split, some feet, good combination – aerial, holds it – wolf double and has to grabs the beam and sit down and you didn’t see anything that’s barely a deduction because wolf turn – stuck layout 1/1.
Andrade’s bars takes Brazil into 2nd place, a point ahead of Japan.
Andrade’s score knocks De Jesus Dos Santos out of the bars final. Seitz is now into the 8th position.
So we ended up with a 12.933 for Malewski, which will keep Germany in 10th place as a team.

14.166 for Villa to start for Italy. Big opening score.
Maggio – Ub – Italy – good first hs – Ray to pak, very high – stalder full to maloney to tkatchev, clean – bail, good vertical – toe full, little leg break hesitation, toe shoot to high, slightly short on hs – double Arabian dismount, nearly holds stick, step forward.
Lai Pin Ju a number of steps back on her bhs back tuck series but keeps it on the beam.
Maggio goes 14.200 on bars. I would not have had her ahead of Villa.
D;Amato – Ub – Italy – good first hs – maloney to tkatchev, just a bit close – stalder tkatchev piked to pak to stalder shap 1/2, no trouble today – front giant full across the bars to double front 1/2 out, trouble on the dismount , chest down and a large lunge to the side and off the mat for an additional step.
Mai Liu – BB – TPE – front tuck mount, hit – wolf jump full from side position is nice to see – side aerial to swingdown, a little awkward but hit – side somi, hodls it well – oh and a fun front gainer tuck 1.5 dismount. Can’t recall that.
14.400 for D’Amato. Nothing matters I guess. I actually don’t understand how you get up to 8.1 E score there when 8.566 is the highest for ANYONE.
Esposito – UB – Italy – Church to pak, very good – maloney to bhardwa, clean – van leeuwen – some short cast handstands – double front, deep landing, bounce forward.
13.966 for Esposito will be the drop score as Italy goes 42.766, second on bars to China.
No one from Italy knocks Seitz out of the final qualifying position on bars.
Ting – BB – TPE – switch to switch 1/2, solid sequence – aerial to bhs split jump, lovely – switch to split ring jump to korbut, smooth combination – side somi, very secure – punch front layout full, little shuffle forward. AMAZING.
13.000 for Ting, which is a great score, but I wanted final and I think it merited that.
Subdivision 9 – Rotation 2
Annnnd Villa is off on her back tuck full series – wolf triple is lovely – switch to split to wolf, smalll pause before wolf, good elements – double turn, works it out well – side aerial, strong – 2/1 dismount, large bounce back
Hilton – Ub – Ireland – jaeger, clean – short cast hs – pak, leg separation – maloney, just foes catch it into clear hip but she’s just struggling to keep going at this point with an improvised clear hip and some form on a clear hip full.
12.300 for Villa.
Maggio – BB – italy – switch mount, good – switch to sissone, pretty – bhs loso lsoo, solid, protects against a check with a quick arm wave – full turn – siwthc ring, large break, bend at the hips wobble – side aerial, another check – aerial, another leg-up check, she seems a little rattled now – side somi, arm wave to keep it on the beam – double pike, step back. She stayed on but gave away a bunch of wobbles in the 2nd half there.
12,900 for Maggio
D’Amato – BB – Italy – front tuck mount and immediately falls – ITALYYYY – punch front is solid – bhs loso series, good – switch to sissone, pretty – switch ring, comfortable – aerial, lean to the side – wolf turn double is hit – 2.5 dismount, bound forward.
Nancy Taman hits her DTY on vault for Egypt

Ting – FX – TPE – switch ring 1/2, hit – dfouble tuck, step back, chest down.
12.133 for D’Amato’s beam.

So no Italians in the bars final or the beam final.
So that’s going to be Italy on 37.333 for beam, which is 3.400 lower than Japan’s beam-leading score.
10.800 for Esposito.
Subdivision 9 – Rotation 3
OMG we still don’t have Ting’s FX score from the last rotation so they are holding Italy on floor.
Ibrahim Sharaf – UB – Egypt – clear hip 1/2 to jaeger, hit, a bit close – bail, some legs, collapses in elbows – clear hip, pulls it through to handstand – shoot to high – giant full – DLO, shuffle back, a couple steps.
Someone find Ting’s floor score and give it to the judges! It’s lost!
Kelly – BB – Barbados – split jump to wolf jump – aerial, nice – split jump 1/2 from side, secure – side aerial, good height but a large break, huge bend forward and a leg up – bhs loso series, hit – switch, pause befroe korbut, really nice switch position – wolf double, around – 2.5, step forward.
They found Ting’s floor score! It’s 12.266.
Maggio – FX – Italy – finally getting to start, most of the other events are almost done – wolf triple, around – DLO, very good landing – front loso to double pike, bounce back OOB with both feet – split ring leap switch ring 1/2, not bad, but bouncy – FTDT, a bit deep, bounce back – nice switch ring – doubel tuck, small slide back –

13.600 for Alice D’Amato, so Italy should at least have some floor event finalists.
Mandriota – FX – Italy – wolf double is a little under 2 full turns – whip to 3/1, some leg form, bounce back – back 1.5 to front full, hop forward – switch ring – switch 1/2 – double y spin to double turn – double pike, stuck landing –
All other events are done now. 12.933 for Mandriota.
Esposito – FX – Italy – wolf triple, very good – 2.5 to front lay, just a little short, hop forward – split leap 1.5 attempt, not around – doubleishy spin to illusion is lovely – switch full, nicely done – back 1.5 to front full, step – doubel tuck, stuck landing, chest down. Well done.
13.466 for Esposito. Drat, I was hoping for a floor final for her. So close.
40.566 for italy’s floor, which is an important recovery rotation.
Subdivision 9 – Rotation 4
Italy needs to vault a 41.900 to move ahead of Japan for 3rd place.
Maggio opens with a stuck Y1.5, just like at nationals. Some knee form, otherwise not much to take, an excellent vault. 14.200

D’Amato – VT – Italy – chest down landing on her DTY with a hop forward, some leg crossing. Still goes 14.233
