Kaylia Nemour is the top qualifier into today’s AA final, about a half point ahead of Skye Blakely in second. Nemour is the top-scoring AAer in the world this year but had errors on bars and beam in qualification, while also exceeding expectations on vault with a strong DTY.

Roshchina and Colas qualified in 3rd and 4th, with Ke QQ and Zhang QY just behind them. Claire Pease is in the second rotation group, though her score from the team final would have been the top total if it had happened in qualification. After a rough first day, Sugihara is down in the floor group. But, you know, Sugihara.

Peacock went with Skye Blakely as the header photo for today’s stream, so props for selecting someone who is in the actual competition. That is a genuine accomplishment in gymnastics I guess, considering the FIG still uses Simone’s beam on the website for streaming apparatus world cups (Simone allllwaayysss competed at challenge cups, you guys). Remember when NBC used a picture of Sarah Persinger for all their Rio streams, and we were like…ummmm??? Because I do. Our Star of the Rio Olympics, Sarah Persinger.

Anyway, let’s get this show on the road, shall we? I’ve reached the point of musing about Georgia gymnasts who have been retired for over a decade, and no one has even fallen yet.

Coverage has begun. Roadddddd to Losssss Angeeellllesssssss.
