8:11 pm. El Dabagh (DEN FX) Double Pike, double spin, stuck her double tuck. There really is no choreography for Denmark so far. It’s like arm wave here pose…oh another arm wave. But they all have great ending poses!

8:08 pm. Wang (DEN FX) Opens with a full-in. Comes back with a double tuck. FHS to front full. Double turn. Finishes with a double full. Not much choreography but a nice ending sequence.

8:01 pm. Elzeiny (EGY FX) Fell out of double L turn a bit. Vocals in her music. Double tuck…she landed about half bent over. Music is sort of sultry like A Sac circa 2007. FHS front full. Doesn’t’ quite complete the double Memmel turn at the end.

7:58 pm. Koster (NAM UB) Stoop through to everything. Actually sat on the high bar. OMG. She just did a back hipcircle at the World Championships…. Jess and I have talked about this a lot today and yesterday. At what point is there a cut off  for the world championships/ a qualification to be an elite vs. wanting to encourage/inspire new and upcoming countries? Thoughts?

Headed into the last rotation!

7:43 pm. Millousi (GRE FX) High double tuck to open, All of her movements are pretty, back 2.5 to a very wonky sissone, Fell on her double pike.

7:42 pm. Lago Serena (MEX UB) Just flung her bar dismount WAY out and landed on her knees.

7:41 pm. Tracie (MAS V) Just stuck her vault right down the middle!

7:25 pm. Abdul Hadi (MAS FX) double tuck, 2.5 twist with Musty legs, really pretty Memmel turn, super deep landing on her double pike. Thought her knees might buckle.

7:21  Someone on floor just did a back layout full but it was like straddled all the way through….i don’t understand.

Millousi (GRE BB) Back layout step-out on, BHS Losco Loco, switch ring, ffront aerial to sheep (big wobble,) full turn, side somi (lands with feet glued together  – interesting,) switch to ring leap, side aerial (almost fell off) Double pike to finish but she is over time.

7:19 pm. Xoulogi (GRE BB) Off on switch, front aerial (wobble) sheep (wobble) side somi, BHS Back tuck (big wobble) Korbut, ring leap (form was wonky) side aerial, split to sissone (both shy) Full spin. Gainer Pike to finish.

7:17 Sandoval Perez (MEX V) Tsuk that she crashed to her hands and knees.

Masule (NAM FX) only a back layout to open?? Punch front pike for 2nd pass, RO BHS Back tuck to finish. Essentially she just did a level 5 floor routine….

7:14 pm. Plyta (GRE BB) full turn, hands touch the beam on the switch half. I love the leos for Team Greece! Front aerial, wolf to sissone, ring leap, Off on BHS Losco, wobble on switch, hands touch after side aerial, Gainer layout to finish. Rough set.

6:56 pm. Lago Serna (MEX FX)  Double layout, stuck full-in, double tuck! Front aerial connect to switch ½,  fell on her double pike!

6:55 pm. Vasiliki Millousi of Greece with a beautiful bars routine.

6:50 pm. Taman (EGY V) HUGE Beautiful Yurchenko full. Think like Alex McMurtry style!

Elzeiny (EGY V) Yurchenko full. Big arm bend on the top of the table.

Moreno Medina (MEX FX) Big Double Lay. Double Arabian. The Mexian leo is very festive. Back 2.5 with very sloppy legs. Double pike to finish. 13.366

6:49 pm. Torres Nunez (MEX FX) double tuck to open,  back 2.5, switch to tour jete full, double full, Double pike to finish.

  1. Think swimming at the last Olympics where there were competitors who could barely swim. They aren’t going to qualify for the Olympics even as continental representatives, but this does allow for participation. Normally it is the middle year that has this level, though.

  2. Did you see how long it took for Namibia’s bar scores to come in? Judges were absolutely stumped.. One of the D judges is Chinese and had actually never seen anything like that. It was funny. I think they ended up pretty much just picking a number.
