So this means Laura Jurca is done? 😅

Did Elizabeth Seitz bars downgrade heavily or did she make a big mistake?

She had a 5.9 D score, didn’t go all out with her connections.She had a pretty large error on her toe full before the dismount though.

Her jaeger went pretty wrong. I think she hit her feet on the bar..

Yeah, she hit her feet for a .5 deduction and also had some leg issues on other elements. So good to see her back though!

Have they announced the World Team? I would take the top 5 AA, and Schaeffer. But that beam lineup is … not great/a real liability. Seitz should add a great bar score by the time Worlds starts, but she’s not very good on beam. I think Alt would have shored up Germany’s beam rotation, but she’ sadly out of commission.

Teams are only five people this year. They still have nationals before they announce the team. It will likely be Bui, Seitz, Schäfer, Griesser, and Voss, but Timm is probably also being considered since Voss and Griesser both fudged Euros. She has a minor injury right now so only did bars here but they could use her on beam and floor if she outscores Griesser at nationals. I’d also consider Kröll for that spot based on today, but Kröll has been otherwise inconsistent this year so they’d probably want her to prove more of what she can do on those two events.

Scheder will compete at nationals

In that case she’s on the team probably over Griesser (or whoever gets that spot)…she can add more on bars than anyone else can add on beam/floor combined.

Scheder, Seitz, and Bui could be the best TF bars lineup in the world, though.

Scheder, Seitz, Bui have been one of the best 3/3 UB lineups in the world for almost 10 years. UB is an amazing rotation for Germany. Then they give back the points gained on UB when they go on BB. The German WAG team is always Seitz, Schafer, Scheder, Bui + some young AA’er (who gets switched around because of injury). Alt is still the best young AA’er option when she’s healthy. She was pretty good on beam.
If Scheder is back to Rio-level bars, then I think the 5 member team will be: 4S + B, and then ??? (Griesser/Kroll/Timm)

Why didn‘t Pauline Schäfer compete on vault?

She had a bad fall on floor in the 3rd rotation, i think they didn’t want to risk something.

I was keenly anticipating Griesser’s floor routine, and my expectations were fulfilled! She might not have the difficulty, but I LOVE her choreo, it’s so beautiful.
