9:10 pm. Looks like Isabela Onyshko won with a 57.55, Axelle Klinckaert with a 56.125, and Rose-Kaying Woo with a 55.225!

9:09 pm. “Ladies and gentlemen, in a few moments, we will have a blackout, so don’t panic.” Hahaha. Love. I’ll keep live blogging awards so you actually know who won.

9:06 pm. Hermans, FX- Hit double back to open, 1.5 to front full is nearly stuck. Good 2.5 to finish. Looks thrilled and now she’s selling the crap out of the rest of this choreo…fantastic finish.

9:02 pm. Croket, FX- YAS CHRISTINA AGUILERA RIFFING. Every routine needs to start or end with XTINA. I’ve decided. Double pike to start, little stumble. Same music as Carlotta’s second half of her routine. Great 1.5 to front full. UGH double tuck comes up a little short and she puts her hands down. 12.625

8:57 pm. Meyers, FX- How are ALL of their routines SO fun. Double pike is good, slight bounce back. double tuck, stumbled OOB. 2.5 a little short. But really, such a fun routine. 13.2

Thorsdottir, BB- Off on switch to side aerial, WHYYYYY GOD WHY. Side aerial to Korbut, a little off, but lands it. And such a great combo. Onodi, check before the jump. Switch to front aerial to scale down to a little choreo. Switch to full Y turn, nice. Slight wobble. Split to wolf jump. 2.5 dismount, punches off the beam weird, legs are a holy mess. Her face is like wtf did I just do. Oh, now she looks really upset. Her coach is like waving his arms around like “this is what you looked like, WHY.” 11.575

Vezina, VT- Hit, I think half on back pike.

8:57 pm. Peterman, VT- GREAT Yurchenko 1.5! 14.375

8:54 pm. Vandenhole, FX- Nails double pike to start. Good 2.5, double full. Fantastic.

Polderman, BB- Off on a leap. Otherwise she’s pretty wobbly. 11.65

V. Woo, VT- Good FTY.

Onyshko, VT- DTY, a little short but I think it was better than Elite Canada. Hard to tell from this angle.

8:48 pm. Mys, FX- More Belgium, more excellence. Front double full to punch front. I think her music is partly Nina Simone’s “Stop.” Good double tuck. Double pike, small bounce back. More great work.

8:44 pm. Klinckaert, FX- YAY she is keeping her AWESOME frog routine!!! Nails double layout. Great tucked full-in. She is selling the crap out of her choreo. Stuck dobule tuck! YAS AXELLE!!!! I’m literally crying. This needs to be in Rio YESTERDAY. Double pike with a hop forward. Crowd goes wild. 14.4!!!

8:42 pm. Miyakawa, VT- Her second vault is…cool, didn’t see it at all, thanks to this feed.

Olsen, BB- So far so good. Switch, slight wobble. Onodi with a big wobble and a fall. NOOOO. Nice illusion turn. Great double pike. 12.1

Copiak, UB- Hit toe full to pak, everything else including full-in small step. Looks very happy with this.

8:38 pm. Najita, VT- FTY with a step back.

R. Woo, UB- Wild giant full to Tkachev, pak, stalder half to toe on to inbar shoot to high. Double front is good. 13.425

Soloski, BB- Saw a good bhs loso. Hit dismount.

Derwael, FX- GORGEOUUUUUS PERFORMANCE. Super dramatic and fabulous. Double pike is good. Hit second pass. Ugh her low floor choreo is GREAT. 2.5, step to the side. She doesn’t look thrilled, maybe about some of the landings? But UGH, such a phenomenal routine.

Miyakawa, VT- Cheng! And it’s not bad! Well, you know. It’s got its issues. But not bad for what it is.

8:35 pm. Hiraiwa, VT- Clean FTY. 14.05

Waem, FX- Her music is amazing. Good double tuck. Performing her face off. Double full.

Semple, BB- Solid bhs loso. Double pike a bit crashed. 13.85

Rousseau, UB- Didn’t get skills down, but hit routine, dismount was a front layout, guessing that’s not fully ready… 12.5

8:34 pm. Start lists for the final rotation…

8:32 pm. Best Belgian beam was Derwael’s 14.45. Next was Waem’s 13.95. Not many scores in the 14s at all…just a couple of low 14 FTYs and then Bela’s 14.4 on floor.

8:31 pm. Time for the fourth rotation! Warm-ups now. I’ll try to post whatever scores I see.

8:29 pm. Hermans, BB- Nice double wolf turn. Switch to split leap, solid bhs loso, UGH, off on double spin. BELGIUMMMM WHY. Switch half. Front aerial, side aerial, 2.5 basically stuck.

8:27 pm. Peterman, FX- 2.5 to punch front tuck, good. I think she’s going to Ohio State soon? She has a very collegiate feel about her already, good performance ability. 1.5 to front full, little stumble. Stumbles double pike back and OOB.

8:25 pm. Vandenhole, BB- Punch front mount, big fight to save it, but she falls anyway. UGH. Front aerial, slight wobble. Solid bhs loso. Switch side, weirdly wobbly as she gets into position for her wolf turn which she finishes in like, a full on squat like she’s a catcher in baseball, lol. Oh boy. Side somi, wobble on jumps, double pike, chest down but hit. 12.725

8:23 pm. V. Woo, FX- Piked full-in, short, hop forward. Great stuck double tuck. Another good pass with the double pike. 2.5 with a stumble to finish.

8:21 pm. Deriks, BB- Good leaps, legs are weirdly bent on the wolf jump. Missed something due to freezing feed, front aerial, leg up wobble. Bhs loso, switch ring, double pike with a little bounce.

8:17 pm. Meyers, BB- Lovely mount sequence. Wolf 1.5, switch to split leap, her lines are gorgeous. Side somi, ughhh off on tour jete half. Ambitious leap. I think I’ve only seen van Gerner and maybe one other do it in the past year. Good bhs loso. Front aerial, side aerial, double pike with a step back. 13.025

Onyshko, FX- Whip whip through to double tuck, great. Hit middle pass. Double turn I think, to an illusion. Double pike to finish. More great work from her. 14.4

8:14 pm. Thorsdottir, UB- Toe-on to Maloney to bail to toe full to Ray, good. Jaeger, big full-out with a tiny bounce.

Croket, BB- Good bhs loso. Front tuck, aggressive. Front aerial to split jump, full Y turn,  side somi, gainer pike dismount. 13.55

Vezina, FX- Memmel turn to full pirouette, good double pike. Switch ring. Double full rebounded up into a split jump which is a mess but she controls it.

8:11 pm. Couldn’t see Sae’s floor score fully but it was a 12.7 something.:(

8:09 pm. Klinckaert, BB- Wolf turn, front tuck, nails bhs layout, switch to split jump, switch half. Everything SO solid. Front aerial to wolf jump, side somi with a big wobble but also a big fight and she holds on, ring jump, great double pike. Aside from that side somi issue this was a fantastic routine. 13.725

8:05 pm. Waem, BB- Switch to back tuck, switch half, double pike with a step back. 13.95

Olsen, UB- Stalder half, Jaeger, wild on full on the low bar, toe shoot, hit dismount. Form is wild but that was a hit and she’s happy!

Miyakawa, FX- Missed first pass but it looked hit. I think she does a DLO full. Sat double front, double double is good, crashes double layout HARD on her face to finish. So two falls. UGH.

8:04 pm. Semple, UB- Bars cam was frozen for almost all of this. Only saw the full-in with a step.

8:01 pm. Kajita, FX- 2.5 to front full is clean. Now it’s frozen, naturally. Yeah, floor is like, totally gone. Again, this is a thing that costs money.

Mys, BB- Switch ring, Onodi to split jump to front aerial with a little stumble. Full turn. Great bhs bhs loso. Double pike, near-stuck. Super good work.

Townsend, VT- Yurchenko 1.5, a little short.

Derwael got a 14.45 I think on beam!

8:00 pm. I think Cyrenne like, went out of control on her bars dismount and basically flew almost off the podium. That was all I saw from her. Score is 12.925.

R. Woo, VT- Handspring front pike stumbled forward.

Soloski, UB- Big Ray, hitting the rest, toe on to toe shoot, some front giant work, double layout with a step.

7:57 pm. Hiraiwa, FX- Her weird Addams Family / Home Alone 2 routine LOL. Double tuck low and stumbled. Hit the rest. The Home Alone 2 music actually makes for good floor music but just thinking “this is from Home Alone 2” makes it weird.

Derwael, BB- Good so far. Side somi, bhs bhs loso, side aerial into a GORGEOUS Y scale. Gainer pike with a hop.

Rousseau, VT- Clean FTY, tiny bounce. Her form is immaculate.

7:52 pm. All right, going into rotation 3 now! When I see scores I’ll try to update.

7:49 pm. Hermans, UB-Toe on to toe full to Maloney all super clean, to bail to stalder to Ray, YAS!!! Jaeger, near-stuck full-in. Also very nice, especially that opening six part connection series!

7:45 pm. Peterman, BB- Ooh, SMOOTH wolf 2.5! She is allowed to do this skill forever. Front aerial. Slight check on side somi. Bhs loso, little stumble. Double pike with a step. 13.7

Vandenhole, UB- Toe full to stalder to Chow, very nice. Extra swing before the pak, pretty sure she is supposed to connect that. Maloney, to bail to Ray. Straddle Jaeger, and a near-stuck double front. GOOD!

7:43 pm. Meyers, UB- Hop change to piked Endo (like Becky Downie does!) to toe on to Maloney, stalder full, Tkachev, toe on to bail to Ray, caught a little close. Full-in with a slight hop. Not bad!

7:42 pm. Vezina, BB- Hit flight series, wobbles on a full turn but basically turns it into an illusion turn and holds on, haha. Another wobble on a leap. Switch to sheep jump, good. Switch ring, 2.5 with a hop.

7:40 pm. Croket, UB- Toe-on to pirouette but loses form and comes off. Does toe-on to Maloney this time, to bail to toe shoot. Tkachev is good, double front is over-rotated and she falls forward, hands down. Oy.

Thorsdottir, VT- FTY, good.

7:31 pm. R. Woo, FX- Oh my God this feed is a DISASTER. Can’t see ANYTHING. Watching floor from the vault feed. Double arabian to start, good. Double tuck, a bit low. Missed some stuff in there because I couldn’t see it. $$$

7:28 pm. Rousseau, FX- Nice double arabian. 1.5 through to double tuck. Double pike, little stumble.

Aww Nina is crying, she looks so upset. Naturally the camera is zoomed in about as close to her face as humanly possible. You can’t track a bar routine but you can track a crying child.

7:24 pm. Derwael, UB- This feed is NOT freezing for this routine. I will SCREAM. Ok here we go. Stalder full to Chow half, way too short and she falls. NOOOOOO,  BARS PRINCESS. Gets up again, Chow half, blind change to straddle Jaeger, Ricna, toe-on to pak, very clean. Van Leeuwen, big full-in, tiny bounce. Shame about the fall. Otherwise a great routine.

Hiraiwa, BB- Punch front. Onodi, front aerial, sheep jump. CONNECT ALL OF THAT LIL GIRL. Please. For me. Roundoff layout, fall. UGH. Double wolf turn, wobble at the end. 2.5 nearly sat, big step off the mat.

7:21 pm. Kajita, BB- Switch to back tuck, wobble. Lovely flight series. Side aerial is a little short. Idk what she was trying to do for her dismount. But she sat it. 2.5 maybe?

7:07 pm. Peterman, UB- Maloney to Gienger, nice! Her coach is blocking the camera fully, so glad there are zero camera people there to actually move the camera, huh? That’s why you pay for coverage! Stumbled back dismount.

7:04 pm. Onyshko, UB- Maloney to clear hip full to Tkachev, good. Hindorff, pak (leg sep), van Leeuwen (good), double front dismount with a step. I think she was supposed to connect the Hindorff to pak. 14.225
