With both the United States and Netherlands going up this round, and with the U.S. streaming online, Kensley and I are going to split up so we can get absolutely everything for these uber popular teams. Refresh every 3-5 minutes or so, and most recent updates will appear at the top!
6:13 pm. Even with this horrific by U.S. standards day, the team finishes with a 236.611, higher than last year by over a point, and greater than five points higher than second place Russia!
6:02 pm. Simone Biles BB – 2.5 wolf with a very scary wobble but she fights with her magic and holds on. Barani, solid. Nails flight series. Punch front to sissone (or split jump, I missed the angle). Switch to switch side, misses connection to back pike. Nails full-in dismount. 14.966
5:58 pm. Aly Raisman BB- Punch front pike to wolf jump. Have angry sex with the beam right now please. Bhs layout, doesn’t bother connecting to jump but she’s cool enough to sense danger and have a back-up plan. Side aerial to straddle jump. Switch to switch half twisted super late. Punch front tuck to sissone, good. Full L-turn. Double arabian with a hop. Phew. 14.066?! Yikes…
5:55 pm. Maggie Nichols BB – She’s under SO MUCH PRESSURE RIGHT NOW. So far so good with the wolf turn and jumps. Side somi, hit. Switch ring. Bhs loso. Punch front. Switch to back tuck, wobble, but holds it. Double pike. She’s like “hey Marta remember when you took me out of the all-around?” 14.166
5:52 pm. Gabby Douglas BB – Big wobble on punch front pike, hits bhs loso, fall on standing arabian. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS TEAM. Another big wobble on the punch front tuck. Double pike with a hop. 13.066
5:48 pm. Madison Kocian BB – Switch ring, front aerial to split jump to straddle jump, a little nervous on those first pieces, but looks really steady on bhs loso. Side aerial. Full turn. Switch to back tuck. Hits double pike with a step. Good girl! 14.0
5:34 pm. Brenna Dowell UB – Tweddle, gets nervous and doesn’t do it to Ezhova. Repeats it and hits the connection. Over on toe full but holds on. Toe half to Maloney. Church, misses connection to pak, and then comes off. Repeats skill, hits connection. Off again on van Leeuwen. My heart. Full-twisting double layout stuck. I’m basically taking a one-way trip to the summit of Everest and will slowly succumb to pulmonary edema. #GoodbyeCruelWorld 11.333
5:31 pm. Madison Kocian UB – Inbar full, Komova II to pak (leg sep) to Chow half. Inbar half to Jaeger caught REALLY close. Scary close. Stalder to stalder full to high stuck full-in. Not her best work but good enough! 15.233
5:27 pm. Simone Biles UB – Weiler half to Maloney, no accidental Weiler full! Toe full with minor form break right into Tkachev, piked Tkachev to pak, very calm work, toe on to full-in, fantastic. 14.666
5:25 pm. Gabby Douglas UB – Inbar full to piked Tkachev, doesn’t connect to pak, inbar to inbar half to Endo half to Chow, nice. Working slowly and steadily. Floaty double layout basically stuck! 14.75
5:23 pm. Aly Raisman UB – Toe full to Maloney to Tkachev, and she falls. The first fall for the U.S. at Worlds since 2010. I literally can’t even watch this!? Jaeger is good, hits double front, but damn. She’s been SO consistent there all year! She just really set the tone with the floor mistake and is letting it carry from routine to routine. 13.066
5:08 pm. Simone Biles VT – Lopez for the second vault, also beautiful, tiny hop! 15.266, averaging 15.633 to sit in FIRST ON VAULT with difficulty almost a point lower than Hong and Paseka!
5:07 pm. Simone Biles VT – Amanar, beautiful, just a slight step. 16.0! That’s a 9.7 execution!
5:06 pm. Maggie Nichols VT – Amanar, fantastic landing, form is still meh but like I said during her messier attempts in podium training, she just needs the competition adrenaline to get her through. Her competition Amanars are 700% better than her training ones. 15.6
5:05 pm. Aly Raisman VT – Amanar, takes two giant steps forward. Sigh. Just nerves for her or what? But damn that was a HUGE vault. 15.133
5:03 pm. Gabby Douglas VT – Lovely stuck DTY! 15.3
5:02 pm. Brenna Dowell VT – DTY, gorgeous, FLOATY, room for another half twist on there for sure. Beautiful vault. 15.1
4:54 pm. Simone Biles FX – Full-twisting double layout, bounce back. Double layout half-out to stag, excellent. Nearly sticks double double. Tucked full-in, excellent. What else can you say? She’s perfection. 15.966!
4:50 pm. Aly Raisman FX- 1.5 through to double arabian and you just know the punch layout is going to be OOB…yep, foot out. Too close to the edge, a mistake she never makes. People clapping along to her fantastic music. Piked double arabian to stag. Big double layout, she hits the sweet spot and gets roughly 80 feet into the air on her split jump and is like *Dear God bring me safely down to earth again* Finishes with a double pike bounced back. Reigning Olympic floor champ, guys! 14.533
4:46 pm. Maggie Nichols FX – Double, step back. Tucked full-in, step back. Form issues on the piked full-in but hits no problem. Big set on her double tuck and she sails down into a great landing. Awesome job, and some of the most solid form I’ve seen from her! 14.7!
4:41 pm. Brenna Dowell FX – Two years later and Brenna is FINALLY competing at Worlds. SO deserved. I’m screaming. Wait, there was like a music glitch or something weird? It started then stopped and now she’s going without. Piked double front with a step. NAMED FOR YOU. BAM. Double front awesome, into stag. Nails 1.5 to front full. 2.5, slight stumble OOB but gets the most applause in the world for being a kickass champ under TERRIBLE circumstances. The arena announcer asks for more applause for Brenna and SO DO I. She slayed. 13.966
4:37 pm. Gabby Douglas FX – Huge cheers for the reigning Olympic champion. Double L turn to start, nails double arabian to stag. I kind of love her music now after hating it at first. That always happens. Tucked full-in is a little short but she gets right up into the wolf jump. Switch ring good, falls a little out of her Memmel turn but not super bad, sticks double tuck. She looks roughly 8000% more precise than in training. How she works. Double tuck stuck. YAS. 14.4
4:36 pm. Just saw Brenna Dowell nail her front double pike in warm-ups. She’s aiming to get this skill named for her, and it’ll be rated an F!
4:33 pm. Team USA is here! In bubblegum pink, the color of qualifications and the podium itself. Traditionally it’s pink for qualifications, patriotic for team finals. Alternate MyKayla Skinner is on the floor with her teammates, which is awesome. Alternates work hard, too…they’re part of the team and they deserve to experience it too.
4:32 pm. Almost ready! For the non-U.S. teams, follow along here.
4:25 pm. Lauren here! If you’re looking for the Netherlands and mixed groups in subdivision 10, follow Kensley’s blog coming live from the arena…I’ll post a link when it goes up!

1. There is everyone else, then there is Simone.
2. Lord, I hate the leaps attached to the tumbling. It’s like “Whoa-unbelievable tumbling!!!! Meh (or no-control) leap.” Really drags the magnificence of the tumbling passes down.
3. Why is the arena dark? So as to hide lack of audience?

I’m so conflicted. Super happy for Maggie yet bummed Aly won’t be in Floor finals. Just a really bouncy routine from her. Also, I’m pissed for Maggie as she’s having a solid day so far and should absolutely be competing for AA over Gabby! Grr…

So far Gabby is doing better than Aly, so maybe AA should have been Nichols over Aly? Or now that I’ve just seen Brenna Dowel’s mess of a bars routine, maybe Maggie over Brenna on bars so Maggie could go AA?

You’re absolutely right given how today has gone, but leading up to Qualifications the AA looked more like Simone, Aly, Maggie, Gabby. I don’t think anyone would’ve predicted Maggie outscoring Aly on Floor before we saw it today. Aly is usually very consistent. Today just wasn’t her best meet.

So far the international judges seem to like Maggie. Was it a mistake by Marta to keep her out of the running in the AA? Aly looks like she’s just not quite on today, and so far Aly is being outscored by Maggie. Gabby looks good. And as Betsy wrote above, there is everyone else, then there is Simone! Simone is looking phenomenal so far.

I feel so bad for Brenna! This was her moment and it was so sad to see it crumble on bars and wanted to see her in the event finals. Hopefully Marta doesn’t pull her from the team finals on it.

I thought this team would beat last year team but this is way too many mistakes. Hope they get it together for TF…

Well, hindsight is 20/20, but Marta has to be kicking herself a little for not giving Maggie a shot at the AA. She could have done so by leaving Brenna out of bars. Then Marta could have let Aly, Gabby and Maggie fight it out for the second AA spot. Simone is just otherworldly. I know there has been lots of speculation about who was chosen for the team then how the individual members were being used, but the US is so far ahead of everyone else, they didn’t need Brenna’s bars. In any event, I’m glad to see that the international judges scored Maggie pretty well. Maggie seems like the new Aly to me–very solid and consistent. But this is just one day, so we’ll see how the rest of the championships progresses.

Mckayla Maroney fell off beam in 2013 at Worlds when she competed AA during quals. So Aly’s fall was the first at Worlds since 2013 for the US. Then everyone else joined in so she wouldn’t feel bad…?

I said team event…2013 was AA only.

I’d wondered if that was what you meant, but you actually didn’t say team event. Just the “first fall for the U.S. at Worlds since 2010.” Which is why I mentioned Maroney’s fall in 2013 at Worlds.
With the 2010 comparison, do you think Marta will keep Brenna in the TF lineup for UB as she did with Mattie Larson on FX? I’d really like to see Brenna redeem herself and hope she gets the chance to do so.

After 10th subdivision, Simone in first for AA and she will most likely be in three finals since she is sitting in first in vault, beam, and floor. She’s currently 8th in bars, but Kocian and Douglas outscored Simone on that apparatus. Douglas is in second in the AA, 7th so far in bars. Kocian is currently 3rd in bars. Aly is in no event finals and currently has the 4th highest AA score but behind Simone and Gabby. Maggie is currently 3rd in floor.
Here is a link to more links to scores. Some of you probably already have this, but thought I’d share just in case. It is updated after the end of each subdivision. Link below.

Hi, I am so sorry but what happened to Aly’s d-score on beam? I can’t see how her d-score would ever be 5.8
LikeLike
I just rewatched and this is what I gathered (although I am far from an expert): the d-score she’s looking for I believe is 6.6 (maybe 6.7?). From there, I noticed she left out the leaps after her bhs layout. Also, both of her leaps out of her punch front tuck and punch front pike seemed slow, as was her leap out of her aerial. Also, her split leap 1/2 (is that what it was?) did not meet 180 so idk if it was downgraded or not credited. Her L turn looked okay to me, but she wasn’t on the tip of her foot the whole time (neither was Gabby) so I’m not sure if that was credited either. Anyone, feel free to correct me.

Douglas qualified for the individual all around only because Maggie was robbed. By Martha. She treated her as a second class gymnast that she is not. Maggie come on top of both Olympians in the previous all arounds in USA and still was not given the opportunity. She outscored both the two olympians , that absolutely underperformed, in the three aparatus that she competed here in Worlds. And for sure would have had enough score in UB to be absolute second in qual for the all around. I have the hunch that Martha will be rewarded by losing the second potential podium come 10/29. Simone first is out of discussion, baring some cataclism.

I told you. Martha came to her senses and Maggie is the only “all arounder” for team finals. Douglas, not much of an all arounder. Dowell of course void. A true lemon. Still I don’t understand why Bailey Key didn’t come instead of her. Another theft. Tomorrow watch the results for Maggie. Then compare with the individual scores on 10/29. I bet they would be good for a second.
