I believe the addition for the 3rd place all around score is incorrect! Should be 54.093 haha otherwise they tied

I believe it’s 53.099

Correct, I just checked on the British Gymnastics Score App.
Very happy for Angelina, and glad to see Alice Kinsella hit 4/4 in front of a home crowd (I believe she is from Birmingham too).

Maybe now that Melka has finally won a World Cup, the Russian Federation will let her take a nap

I think she’s entered for something else pretty soon. I may be wrong.

It’s going to be interesting to see who replaces Amy Tinkler in the Commonwealth team. I guess Taeja is the only real option now.
LikeLike
Yeah, and they still have to replace Claudia, right?
LikeLike
Lucy Stanhope is in for Claudia.
LikeLike
Ohhh yes, I vaguely remember that but for some reason thought she was just suggested as an option!
LikeLike
They fly out tomorrow. I wonder if they will even replace her, but that is super risky with the team they have. Plus at least one (I’m not jinxing by naming names) of that team is injury-prone anyway.
London to Melbourne has a layover in Doha- so Taeja is already half way to Australia…

I’m happy Melka is doing well, but give her a break! Also, where’s Elena Eremina? Is she injured?
Why aren’t they giving Seda and Eremina the same slave treatment

Eremina is injured sadly…a back injury that will keep her out for all of 2018.

Both Eremina and Paseka are out for the entire season – both have had back surgery

On Melkas second pass she had a false start… then completed it… I know in NCAA thats .3… and we know how legit NCAA scoring is… In elite whats the deduction for it?
LikeLike
Taken from a youtube comment…. I’d think at least .5 because the whole rhythm of the routine was deducted and in NCAA that’s a .3 — So she wasnt deducted for it with that score?
LikeLike
Well it depends on what her d score was, subbing in the double layout for the piked full in does increase her start value, and her first turn combination was definitley completed ( and beautifully so). That first pass was a tenth landing, her double layout without the false start was a .3, the stagger landing on the punch front to double back was another .3 and then 2 tenths on the double pike… so that’s .9 alone for landings, plus .5 for false start, which means 1.4 just on non-form tumbling deductions, which gives 8.6 to work strictly on form (form in the air, splits, positions coming out of spins). Her spins and leaps were pretty solid and her form on the last two tumbling passes were fine, so if her difficulty was 5.8-6.0 I can see 13.5 being a reasonable number.
LikeLike
D score was 5.8
LikeLike
She had a 5.8 D and 7.7 E which is somewhat reasonable. And if she was overscored, it def wasn’t the worst overscoring of the day (ahem, Alice almost everywhere but I’ll let her have that because she performed so well under pressure and Alice isn’t usually someone who gets these kinds of gifts lol).

Where’s Tinks?

Injured.

Injured in warm ups – left the arena in a wheelchair and boot. According to BG website it is ankle ligaments so she will be out a while. It means that 5 of the top GB gymnasts are currently out or rehabbing (Frags, R Downie, E Downie, Fenton … and now Tinks)

Fenton isn’t injured, she’s still in the CWG team.
