12:51 pm. Boyer FRA BB: Big wobble on her layout series. Switch to switch half, great extension. Full L turn to opposite direction pirouette. Side aerial. Split leap to side somi connected DIRECTLY TO A TRANSVERSE SPLIT JUMP HALF, I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN ALL QUAD. Solid double pike. That wobble aside, this was fantastic.
Olsen CAN VT: DTY, solid, tries to hold the stick but can’t, still pretty great.
12:50 pm. Melanie De Jesus Dos Santos gets a 54.798, currently 6th all-around.
Olsen CAN VT: Cheng, gets it around! Not bad, some form things in the air, but the landing is super solid. 14.7
12:47 pm. De Jesus Dos Santos FRA BB: Wobble on the punch front mount. Big wobble on her punch front pike then a wobble on her flight series. Nervous now I think. Good leap series. Switch half, bobble, good front aerial to split jump to back handspring, transverse split jump half, good, high double tuck dismount. Well, the second half was great. 12.566
Black CAN VT: Handspring front full, a little rough, buckled the landing but gets it around. 14.033. Second vault is the tsuk 1.5, much better, solid landing.
Abdlu Hadi MAS UB: Maloney to Pak, dragged her legs on the mat, fell on her Tkachev betwen the bars. Oof, face-planted her dismount.
12:46 pm. Brooklyn Moors gets a 52.632 in the all-around, Lorette Charpy goes 52.165.
12:43 pm. Charpy FRA BB: Loso mount, good, solid bhs loso, triple wolf turn, double wolf turn, a little shaky on both but not bad, side aerial, switch to split leap, little bobble, hit the dismount! 13.066
Ing Yueh MAS UB: Van Leeuwen, blind change to straddle Jaeger, bail to Ray, ugh, stumbled back and sat the dismount.
Moors CAN VT: Handspring front layout half, put up the number for the full but played it safe and looked solid. 13.333
12:42 pm. Marois CAN VT: DTY, woo! Whips it around. Not the cleanest but she gets it. 14.2
12:39 pm. Vanhille FRA BB: Split leap mount, bhs loso, solid, some soft knees. Beautiful switch to side aerial. Good side somi. Nice jump series. Gainer layout dismount. Another lovely routine for Louise. 12.9
Tracie MAS BB: Toe-on to clear hip to toe shoot, a little close, blind full, double layout, piked in the first flip, step back.
12:34 pm. Bossu FRA UB: Here we goooooo! Inbar full right on the bar to Chow half, inbar to inbar half to piked Jaeger, some ankle separations throughout but nothing severe, Pak, clean, van Leeuwen, a little muscled on her blind half to front giant to double front, step back. Not her best tbh. 13.866
12:33 pm. Abdul Hadi MAS VT: A little short on her FTY, step forward.
12:30 pm. De Jesus Dos Santos FRA UB: Galante to Pak, perfect form on the Pak, inbar to van Leeuwen, gorgeous, inbar half to OOF supposed to get that back around to regular grip but struggles through, has to muscle it and change direction to get her rhythm back, gonna hurt her score, but good fight and hit the full-twisting double layout well. 13.866
Tan Ing MAS VT: Hit her FTY, 13.2
12:28 pm. Nathan SGP FX: Split jump full, double pike, little stumble. 1.5 to front full, sat her third pass, finishes with a double full, short with some ankle issues in the air. 9.8

Chan HKG VT: Second vault is a tsuk full, crashes it. 😦
12:27 pm. Chan HKG VT: Handspring front pike half, stuck! Some minor form breaks in the air but really good on that landing.
12:24 pm. Irfanaluthfi INA FX: Excited for this sassy gal. Tour jeté full, high double tuck, bounce back. Front full, good. Solid double pike, fab job. 12.533
Vanhille FRA UB: Chow to Pak, huge amplitude on both, Maloney to bail to toe full to Ray, blind change to big straddle Jaeger, short handstand before her giants to solid stuck double layout. She is such a perfect utility player. I’m still sad about Coline’s injury but so happy it meant Louise got to be here. 12.933
12:18 pm. Moors CAN FX: Has the arena to herself, no pressure. I caught up with her mom this morning just before this subdivision, I love her family so much! Front layout to double front, little hop forward. Double front half-out, little bobble on the landing but gets it around. Double attitude spin down into her choreo, switch ring to Ferrari, beautiful extension, split jump full to stag ring jump, 2.5 to punch front, a little short coming out of the first element but still manages to pull it off. Just gorgeous. 13.5, currently 6th!
12:14 pm. Black CAN FX: 2.5 through to double back, stuck. CASUAAAAL. Front handspring to front double full to punch front, also solid. Leap series is fine, double full with a little bounce. Fabulous. 13.233

Marois CAN FX: Lovely opening. Solid piked full-in, little hop. Switch to switch half. 2.5 to punch front is good. Triple full a bit low, hop back. Nice job.
Vanhille FRA FX: FTY, step back on the landing, but excellent in the air. 13.5
12:06 pm. Ana gets a 13.966, puts her in FIFTH at the moment!!!!!!!!!!
12:02 pm. Padurariu CAN BB: ALL THE PRAYER CANDLES GOING UP RIGHT NOW. I NEED THIS IN THE FINAL MORE THAN LIIIIIFE. Triple wolf spin, mostly lovely, just a tiny bobble halfway. Switch ring, little check, SOLID side aerial loso loso!!! Wobble on the switch half, but not too severe, she corrects her position very well. Front aerial to split jump to back handspring, GORGEOUS, switch leap to sheep jump, little bobble, love the little baby hitch kick in her choreo, double pike, a little low with a step. Not the absolute best but she did an incredible job fixing what went wrong. Also, Canada is CRUSHING IT.
11:58 am. Abdul Hadi MAS FX: Super expressive opening, hit the first pass, then a double tuck, stuck with her chest a little low. Nice switch ring in her series. Her music ends super abruptly, and it sounds a bit weird. But nice routine for her. 12.033
Black CAN BB: Split leap mount to switch to switch half. Wobble on the double spin. Nails the layout series, probably some form stuff I can’t really see, but solid on the landing, side somi, solid, double pike with a hop. Good routine. 13.733, currently 6th!
11:56 am. Ing Yueh MAS FX: Hit her first pass, then a 1.5 to front full, step to the side. Hit the last pass. Memmel to double spin, nice. 12.2
Moors CAN BB: Wobble on her punch front mount, LOVELY oversplit on the first leap in her series, to a split ring jump, front aerial to front tuck, excellent, gets major applause. Full attitude turn, god she is GORGEOUS. Perfect side somi. Lovely swich half. That hyperextension!!! Rudi dismount with a hop, just excellent. 13.133
11:55 am. Nathan SGP UB: Blind change to straddle Jaeger, bail, toe on to toe shoot, a little dead hangy, blind full, double pike, little steps. 10.933
11:52 am. Irfanaluthfi INA UB: Blind full, bail (some leg sep), toe shoot, double tuck high with a bounce. Some leg form and short handstand issues but she pushed through! 10.6

11:43 am. Marois CAN UB: Oh, she just scratched, guess they were happy enough with the first three! Realistically she wasn’t going to outscore them.
Abdul Hadi MAS BB: Lovely leap series and then a tour jeté. Roundoff to back tuck with a little wobble. Transverse split jump half, gets about halfway to split, side somi, double full stuck. Some great moments in there! Good for her. 11.866
11:42 am. De Jesus Dos Santos FRA FX: Full-twisting double layout and tucked full-in, both solid! Front layout through to double tuck, little bounce. High clean double pike with a bounce. I think that’ll make the final! 13.9! Currently fourth.
11:40 am. Tracie MAS BB: Good jumps, double spin with a check, side aerial to loso, really short on the latter and falls. 11.433
Black CAN UB: Maloney to Hindorff, Shang, hop change to front giant to piked Jaeger to Pak, great, van Leeuwen, a little tiny bit short on the handstand before her blind full, toe front half with a bounce in place. The usual minor form stuff but that was excellent for her. 14.0
11:39 am. Boyer FRA FX: 2.5 to front tuck, super clean double tuck. Lovely double pike with a great landing. Switch full at the end. Fab. 13.133
11:37 am. Padurariu CAN UB: Oh I’ve only been waiting for this moment for three years. Inbar half to piked Jaeger, lovely, inbar piked Tkachev to Pak, a little jerky with her catch on the Pak but the release was gorgeous, Maloney to bail to Ray, blind full, beautiful full-in! 13.833

We tend to see Nina Derwael as this great bars specialist but she may end up in the Top 10 of the AA qualifications at the end of the day…

I keep seeing you from a distance in the media zone and I have my copy of Finding our Balance in my bag. I keep waving in your direction but so far, only Svetlana Boguinskaya is sending me weird looks from her throne in the middle of the floor (OMG I heard her talking with Olga Korbut – she’s so sassy!!)
I’ll try again tomorrow until they kick me out.
