8:45 pm. Murto FX: Hit her first pass. Sat 1.5 to punch front. SAD, the rest of her day was solid.

Pardo BB: Stealing this from Spencer because I missed it. He made a weird sound so I looked over at what he was writing and he wrote that she split the beam on her side aerial bhs loso series. THANKS SPENCER! Wobble on a leap, full turn, hit the dismount, a 2.5.

8:41 pm. Leinonen FX: Great first pass. Hit 1.5 second pass. Hit routine in general. Yay! 12.033

Escobar BB: Hit what I saw of hers.

Ardila BB: UGH I missed this, this was one I wanted to see. 10.666 so maybe I didn’t want to see it, she was supposed to have a more difficult set than she ended up doing I think.

8:39 pm. Ferrera FX: Double double with a little bobble. Hit second pass. Third pass was something (front tuck? 1.5? I didn’t see) through to a double pike, big bobble and she kinda flies forward. Then she crashes her double tuck. Awwwww. Again, THESE GIRLS NEED EXPERIENCE. 12.5 ugh she would’ve made the final. 😦

Wong BB: Bhs back tuck. Hit the dismount. 9.833

Sugihara UB: Toe half muscled to straddle Jaeger, toe full to bail, toe on to stalder, full-in with a little bobble. 13.3

8:36 pm. Murakami UB: Toe on to Maloney to Gienger, piked Jaeger, straddle Jaeger, toe full to bail to toe shoot, full-in with a step. AAAAAMAAAAAZING DAY. 13.9

8:31 pm. Teramoto UB: Toe half to piked Jaeger, inbar to stalder full a little messy to layout Gienger, blind change to straddle Jaeger, bail to Ray, full-in with a hop.

Osipova VT: Good FTY.

Liu BB: Hit her mount. Front handspring to front tuck. Switch to ring leap to Korbut, nice. Full turn. Split leap to side aerial. Front aerial, wobble, missed connection to ring jump, wobble, to bhs. Switch ring, wobble. Ugh if this doesn’t make finals I’ll cry forever. Step back on the dismount, only a double full. 13.233, she’s in 7th PHEW

Carey FX: Double double is good. Great full-twisting double layout, especially the landing. Front double full. Tucked full-in with a bounce back. 14.1

8:24 pm. Wang BB: Punch front mount with a little bobble but it doesn’t bother her. Punch front with a step. Switch ring. Big bobble on flight series but she stays on. Great control on her turn. Switch half with a step back. Fell on something after that but I missed it. 11.266

Hurd FX: Screaming already. It’s cruel to put her at the same time as Wang Yan. Trying to watch both. Double double with a bounce back. Piked full-in, bounce back. Front double full to her KNEE NOOOOOOO. It’s okay, mistakes are what prelims are for. Double pike low with a step. She and everyone else who had an error in quals will come back and murder it in finals. You don’t want to be LSU. 12.533

Locklear BB: Triple wolf turn is like butter. HER BEST tbh. Bhs loso with bent knees. Tour jete half is great. Punch front is lovely. Side somi. Then falls on a SIDE AERIAL UGHHHH. Switch to switch half, dismounts with a double tuck with a step. Too bad about that fall, otherwise one of her best sets.

7:44 pm. Vidiaux UB: Stalder full, gets it halfway around and her legs come completely apart causing her hands to slip and she hops off. Back on for stalder half to Endo half to bail.

Lee FX: Stuck her 1.5. I didn’t see the beginning. But she’s the greatest human alive. 12.1

7:42 pm. Locklear UB: Toe full a little muscled to Chow to pak to Maloney to bail to Ray, good. Toe half to huge Jaeger, full-in stuck. Nothing that wows me but just about what you’d expect from her. 14.566 puts her sixth in the standings currently.

7:38 pm. Ardila VT: Second vault is a tsuk full, twists SO late, but still gets it around and lands it.

Smith UB: Great first handstand before inbar to inbar full (late) to inbar half to straddle Jaeger, uh oh, has to take an extra kip cast before her Downie, looks like she lost her rhythm. Caught her Ricna to pak though! Ray to high, great handstand before stuck full-in. Aside from that one extra swing that was excellent for her. 14.133

7:37 pm. Sugihara FX: Triple full to stag, casual, front double full to punch front is great, 2.5 to punch front, and a STUCK DOUBLE TUCK. This rotation is SO GOOD YO. 13.433
