8:18 pm. 13.566 for Ponor going into the floor final, puts her fourth.

Bui, Germany, BB- Switch to switch half, this rude ass crowd is all getting up and leaving in the middle of her routine because Ponor’s done, seriously, I HATE EVERY HOME CROWD. You don’t have to watch, but like, check your phone or something. Don’t be a dick. The U.S. was just as bad at American Cup. Side aerial, puts her hands down. Stuck gainer layout.

Kovacs second AA right now!!!

8:14 pm. Kovacs, Hungary, VT- Big DTY with a hop back. 14.483. Second is a tsuk full. Good.

Uctas Sanli, Turkey, BB- Looked like she missed her foot on her switch mount but covered it up well. Slight stumble back on double back dismount.

Ponor, Romania, FX- Whip whip through to piked full-in, good landing. Messy 2.5. Glad we got that instead of a triple tbh. Double pike is short with a stumble.

Kuc, Poland, UB- Good piked Jaeger. Hit the dismount and looks happy. She’s committed to Cal, I think going in the fall. She’ll be a great addition.

8:11 pm. Devai, Hungary, VT- DTY with a step back for the first vault. Hit her second vault too.

Sazonova, Iceland, FX- 2.5 to barani into a jump. Double tuck with a bounce back. Hit final two passes.

Mutlu, Turkey, BB- Hit acro series. Off on double spin.

Janik, Poland, UB- Maloney to bail to toe full, Ray, giant full to Gienger, fall on Tkachev. Double front with a step.

8:08 pm. Belanyi, Iceland, FX- Double tuck with a little stumble back. 1.5.

Fernandez, Spain, BB- Bhs bhs loso, side somi, double pike low with a step.

Leinonen, Finland, UB- Nice Jaeger. Stuck double tuck.

8:07 pm. Käslin, Switzerland, VT- Solid FTY.

13.233 for Melnikova on FX, gets her to 52.257 AA. I didn’t see Kapitonova’s AA but I’d imagine it’s close…Melka fell more but Kapi only has an FTY.

8:03 pm. Brogli, Switzerland, VT- FTY, a little short.

Melnikova, Russia, FX- I feel like I’ve seen this routine 300 times this year. But I still love it. Double L turn to double spin. Nice double arabian! Double layout is suuuuper low but she somehow lands it. Like, she lands it at a 45 degree angle if that’s even possible. GURL. OOB on third pass, and steps back on the last.

Perez, Spain, BB- Fell on her flight series, then stumbled back and sat the double pike.

8:01 pm. Schäfer, Germany, BB- Bhs loso, good. Double spin. Off on the Schäfer, side somi half. Rough.

Kapitonova, Russia, FX- Piked full-in with a step back. Hit second pass with front tuck out of it. Hit double pike.

Inshina, Azerbaijan, UB- Hit what I saw, which was her piked Jaeger. And nothing else.

7:57 pm. 14.066 puts Ponor in fourth at the moment, behind Iordache, Wevers, and Thorsdottir. Alt, Boyer, and both Downies should also make the final! Oh, and Schäfer coming up could squeeze in.

7:53 pm. Kovacs, Hungary, FX- Double layout, chest down at an angle, but feet are good. Hit second pass and double tuck final pass. I couldn’t see the second because the man next to me is having a physical and mental explosion over Ponor.

7:52 pm. Ponor, Romania, BB- Layout stepout mount, stumble back. Bhs loso loso is solid. Switch to Kochetkova. Wolf jump to sissone. Wobble on switch ring. Onodi to split jump to KIND of an Omelianchik haha. Front aerial to split jump with a wobble, missed her foot. Double pike low chest with a step.

7:51 pm. Devai, Hungary, FX- Hit first two passes, the crowd is super into clapping along for her, riding their Iordache high. Double tuck a little crunched. Not bad.

14.566 for Iordache puts her in first.

7:48 pm. Iordache, Romania, BB- We’re gonna have a Jonestown situation in here if she and/or Ponor don’t hit. Switch to wolf jump, side aerial, bhs tuck full with a wobble but she holds on. Front aerial to split jump to back handspring. Nice switch half. Double spin, a little over-turned, side somi, triple full short with a step.

Okay, that was good, but like, the guy next to me with a MEDIA CREDENTIAL is STANDING UP ON HIS CHAIR AND SCREAMING. You have a MEDIA CREDENTIAL SIR. Stop being a fangirl. That’s literally the one rule of media.

7:47 pm. Butskikh, Georgia, FX- Double tuck, good. Double pike with a little bounce. Tons of applause for Larisa Iordache for EXISTING right now so I hope Mariia is pretending it’s all for her. #GetIt Front full. Sassy little look at the judges in her choreo. Double full to finish to the loudest applause of her life tbh because Larisa still exists.

7:46 pm. Sazonova, Iceland, BB- Front aerial, switch leap, side somi, bhs loso, her leg tattoo bothers me not beause it’s a giant tattoo on her leg but because it doesn’t go all the way around?! Like why have an inch gap on the back of your leg when you could have a full around-the-world calf tattoo? Double tuck low with a step.

7:44 pm. Traukova, Belarus, FX- High double tuck with a bounce. 2.5 with a step. Switch leap to tour jete, very lovely. Switch ring. Front full with a stumble forward.

Mutlu, Turkey, UB- Maloney to huge pak, leg sep, toe shoot, form break in her giant full before her Tkachev, front giant to double front crashed forward.

7:42 pm. Belanyi, Iceland, BB- Hit everything…just the dismount left, front layout full.

Perez, Spain, UB- Church, Ray to pak, clear hip full, Maloney to Gienger, hit the dismount.

7:41 pm. Janik, Poland, VT- Big FTY. Second vault is a handspring front tuck full, looked solid from here but I couldn’t see her feet on the landing.

7:40 pm. Käslin, Switzerland, FX- 2.5 to punch front. Double full. Double L turn. Switch half before the finish.

Fernandez, Spain, UB- Ray, bail to toe on (arched) to stalder, hit dismount. The announcer was standing in front of me for that entire thing so half of that is probably wrong but you get the gist.

7:37 pm. 14.133 for Bui on bars I think puts her into the final!

Schäfer, Germany, UB- Hit Maloney to pak, piked Jaeger, giant full, and dismount.

Brogli, Switzerland, FX- Double pike, double full, hit last pass.

Melnikova, Russia, BB- Spins up out of double wolf turn. Front aerial to jump series, switch ring, chest is off during bhs bhs layout, you know she’s gonna come off. Of course she does. Two falls compared to one fall each for the other Russians. Punch front, L turn to pirouette, double pike.

Bui, Germany, UB- I missed the beginning. Toe full to super clean Gienger, sky high full-in with a good landing, just a little low.

Kapitonova, Russia, BB- Bhs bhs layout, good, just a bobble. Very nice control on her double spin. Off on a punch front right after that. Kill me! Side somi. Hit dismount. My BFF Valentina is prob so sad right now.

Mrdenovic, Serbia, FX- “Hey Big Spender” music. Good double full.

7:14 pm. Inshina, Azerbaijan, FX- Crashes double arabian. Big stumble out of second pass too. Double pike, skidded OOB.

Käslin, Switzerland, BB- Switch leap. Onodi to sheep jump, late connection. Nice Y turn. Loso in flight series is super low and she kinda crashes on the beam before falling.

Perez, Spain, VT- Really lovely FTY.

7:10 pm. Schäfer, Germany, VT- Handspring layout half, good, chest down a bit with a hop back though.

Derek, Croatia, FX- I looove this routine and secretly want it in finals. Switch ring full to switch full, excellent. Tucked full-in STUCK!!!! A little buckled but yas. Selling this choreo bit right after. Memmel to full turn. UGH then crashes front tuck through to double tuck. WHYYYYY.

Brogli, Switzerland, BB- Onodi is very nice, slow to split jump. Good ring jump. Hit routine I think.

Varinska, Ukraine, UB- Toe on (or inbar, I can’t see from this angle) to Komova II to pak, bends legs and drags her feet on the ground. WHY GOD WHY. Maloney to clear hip full, Tkachev half to Jaeger gets a WOAHHH from the crowd. Shame we won’t see that in finals. Full-in with a step.

Janik, Poland, FX- Double back, rough landing, kinda crunches her foot. Hits second pass and final pass.

Rosanna Ojala sadly got injured training floor in warmups. They carried her off the floor and are laying her on a stretcher, not even a wheelchair…poor girl.

7:00 pm. Yeah, they totally just introduced Nadia Comaneci here by spouting off credentials from her Wikipedia LOL. She’s up in a glass box and everyone in the arena is basically staring up waiting for the queen to give us a single wave. #Blessed
