I’ll have a preview, but the Malaysians (Yueh and Farah) should make some finals, as should the South Africans (especially Naveen), Stella of NZ, Colette of Singapore, and Aruna of India (her vaults are very well done and she should def be in that final). It’s not a super strong field on the small-program side and unfortunately most of these gymnasts will be in the 10-11 range on most events, but still a good experience for all.

Also, Canada has a great chance here to win this. England is practically a B team.

Yeah, it’s no contest for Canada unless they fall on literally everything.

Just a little bit of squeeing, but I just got off a long haul flight to Brisbane that also had the Welsh team on it (or so someone pointed out to me, they were a few rows down). Also so so excited to see Ellie Black live! I’m a local here so it’s nice to have something to watch that doesn’t involve going halfway across the world.

Any reason why Singapore’s not sending Nadine as well?

Not sure…they’re also not sending Sze En Tan. Weird since these are their two best?

Sze En was offered the chance to try for the spot, but she didn’t feel quite ready (even though she just won the national title!)

Disappointing that Jamaica is not sending anyone, particularly Danusia Francis.
