9:43 pm. That’s all for me tonight. I’ll be back tomorrow for event finals.

9:38 pm. Most interesting takeaways from the press session: Brenna feels very confident in new bar routine. She said her hit tonight felt like redemption. Ragan felt like she proved herself after falling at camp. Simone was surprised that she scored a personal best in the AA tonight (I agree, she vault landings were worse than normal and she also had some mistakes on bars). Martha was very pleased that the team went 22 for 22.

9:00 pm. Final results are in. The US won the team competition with a 243.2. Canada was 2nd with a 219.1, and Australia (217.85) edged Japan for 3rd (217.7). The US took the top 5 spots in the AA but Kajita wins the bronze due to the 2 per country rule. Japan also took the top 4 spots in the junior AA but Lopez from Mex wins the bronze due to the 2 per country rule.

The scores are Biles 62.45, Raisman 59.9, Hernandez 59.8, Dowell 58.85, and Smith 55.55. They were followed by Kajita with a 55.2 and Olsen with a 54.9.

7:00 pm. The gymnasts are marching out. Canada is in a red leo with white maple leaf outlines. New Zealand is in leos that are silvery white on the left and black on the right. It king of looks like a leaf where they meet. Japan is in red with a gold design on front. They’re pretty far from me right now, so I might be able to give you a better description later.

Earlier Shannon Miller said that Peggy Liddick was also a trendsetter on the rhinestone front, sewing them onto Miller’s leotards by hand.

6:48 pm. Welcome to the Evening Session! New Zealand will start on vault, Japan will start on bars, Canada will start on beam, and the US will start on floor. Just to warn you, the wifi keeps going out here, so if I disappear for a while, that’s why.
