1:42 am. Emma Nedov, Australia, FX: Tucked full-in, nice and high on that landing, just a little bounce in place. Ooh, I love this music. Double tuck, a little low and she tries to compensate by pulling it back which takes her on a little bounce back, I think out-of-bounds. L turn and wolf turn action. Looked decent in her leaps. Front tuck through to double full, some leg form. Double pike, again forward on the landing, again pulls it back, but this time it’s too much pull, and she lands it on her butt and then back 😦

1:40 am. Epke Zonderland, Netherlands, HB: He’s like I finished eighth on purpose so I could go last, jealous? Cassina, some leg sep, Kolman, bigger leg sep right into a Gaylord II, he’s a little wild and messy in some of his pirouettes. Stalder 1.5 is nuts lol oh Epke. Double double layout with a decent body position and a hop back.

1:38 am. Valeriia Osipova, Ukraine, FX: Piked full-in, some leg sep and a little deep in the landing. Tucked full-in is a little bit better, nearly stuck, chest position still a bit low though. Switch to tour jeté full. Lots of tour jeté fulls tonight!!! It’s my favorite leap on floor and they’re usually pretty rare. Front tuck through to double tuck, step back, chest a little forward. Split jump full. Switch full to sissone. Dobule pike, some leg separation, and can’t quite rotate fast enough, hands down. 😦 😦 😦 So bummed, I love her so much.

1:36 am. Tin Srbic, Croatia, HB: Stalder Tkachev, but then as he turns it over into a handstand, he gets a bit stuck and has to hop off, which is a bummer. Tkachev to layout Tkachev to straddle Tkachev half is awesome though. I love that he messed up the easiest thing and then hits that series. Layout Tkachev half, and a little low on the landing of his full-twisting double layout dismount.

1:33 am. Paula Mejias, Puerto Rico, FX: Why do they never send Andrea Maldonado to world cups?? I mean I love Paula but I want Andrea too. 2.5 to front tuck is really solid. Switch full. Arabian double front is EXCELLENT! Switch leap to tour jeté full, get it! Switch side half after that. Going after lots of the dance D in addition to some big tumbles. Whip to double tuck, basically stuck. Okay, that was golden.

1:30 am. Zhang Chenlong, China, HB: Layout Kovacs is actually quite piked, Cassina form is better, huge Kolman, layout Tkachev, straddle Tkachev half, pirouette work looks nicely controlled, some form issues in his double double layout, which is a little short with a big hop forward.

1:28 am. Ting Hua-Tien, Chinese Taipei, FX: I’m mad she didn’t make the beam final, it was all I wanted after her great quals performance at worlds. Double tuck, lands it but her chest is down and she bounces it back basically in a pike position, and when she goes to put her hands down to save from crashing it completely, her head hits first somehow hahahaha. Lord beer me strength. Double pike to her hands and knees. 😦 Stuck the front full.

1:27 am. Ahmet Önder, Turkey, HB: Yamawaki, Kolman, just some slight leg split at the end, layout Tkachev, layout Tkachev half to change into mixed grip, quickly-twisting double double layout with a slide back into a bit of a lunge. Not bad, just not a ton of difficulty.

1:23 am. Aida Bauyrzhanova, Kazakhstan, FX: Memmel turn, heel comes down a tiny bit early, and almost OOB on the start of her double pike pass, lol. Good form and landing, though!! Switch leap to switch half, solid but flexed feet on the latter. Oof, comes in a little wonky with the form on her 1.5 and sits it. Finishes with a front full with a little step. Shame about the fall, she has a lot of nice moments.

1:22 am. Tyson Bull, Australia, HB: Stoop half, some ankle stuff, Kovacs, Cassina with some leg separation, didn’t phase him though, Kolman after that is better. Yamawaki, good, into L grip for some front giants and a one-arm pirouette, full-twisting double layout flared, just ends up a tiny bit short at the very end. 13.966

1:19 am. Vanessa Ferrari, Italy, FX: Double layout, some leg separation, but seemed like a good landing from the weird back angle we have. Full-in, little scoot back. Switch ring to tour jeté full, great. Her ring shape looks much improved. She’s like I couldn’t tumble for a year so I just sat in a split with my back leg all ringed out. Second ring leap isn’t quite as good, into a Ferrari leap. Front full at the end. Well, well, well. Tbh she looks better than she did when they basically forced her to come back with two minutes of training in 2017.

1:17 am. Milad Karimi, Kazakhstan, HB: Yamawaki, hard fall on his Cassina after that. I’m just like jazzed that he’s in this final. Kovacs, caught a little on his wrist, and the Kolman is nearly caught on his forearms, but hey. Hop full pirouette to start off this nonsense part of the routine, double double layout with a step forward. He’s made so much progress on this event even with the mistakes.

1:15 am. Lai Pin-Ju, Chinese Taipei, FX: A little wonky in the landing on her double tuck, fully bent forward with a big step forward. 2.5 after that was pretty messy in the air and had two steps forward and out-of-bounds as well. Triple spin, not bad, and a front full with a hop.

1:12 am. Hidetaka Miyachi, Japan, HB: Double-twisting layout Kovacs is his first, right? Well, he caught it. I had a major brain fart during that skill. Layout Kovacs, Kolman, Yamawaki, good pirouette work, super floaty and flared full-in double layout to finish. 14.733

1:09 am. Zhao Shiting, China, FX: Triple full, lunge back, somewhat wild in the air as well. 2.5 to punch front, just some leg form. Whose music is this? It’s gonna drive me nuts. I’m pretty sure someone had it at worlds. Kinda stumbles out of her quad turn. Ugh, double tuck, bounces back out of it and sits it. Good double full to finish.

1:07 am. Mitchell Morgans, Australia, HB: Had some weird leg form out of his jam half, Cassina, layout Kovacs, Kolman, Kovacs, one right after another, double double is a bit low with a lunge forward but overall a solid set for him and glad to see him in this final. 14.033

12:55 am. Men’s P-Bars Final Results

1. You Hao, China, 15.066
2. Ahmet Önder, Turkey, 14.633
3. Ferhat Arican, Turkey, 14.366
4. Mitchell Morgans, Australia, 14.200
5. Hibiki Arayashiki, Japan, 14.066
6. Mikhail Koudinov, New Zealand, 12.933
7. Akim Mussayev, Kazakhstan, 12.266
8. Tomomasa Hasegawa, Japan, 11.466

12:51 am. Mitchell Morgans, Australia, PB: Got a bit archy in one of his handstands out of a pirouette but overall a really excellent routine, solid landing on the dismount. Crowd is VERY happy with that!

12:45 am. Akim Mussayev, Kazakhstan, PB: Just small adjustments throughout so far but didn’t look like anything was majorly wrong that I saw. Big straddle salto, pirouette work becomes more controlled at the end, and a double front, pretty deep, may have put his hand down but I couldn’t see. 12.266

12:41 am. Ferhat Arican, Turkey, PB: Omg his singlet is crushed velvet. Wild in a pirouette at the start, UGH. Muscly in his single-rail handstand and his elbows have been consistently bent from the start. Nice handstand finally but then some more wild legs/ankles on a pirouette. Arched over another pirouette after that, but stuck his double front half-out with his feet apart. Well, that was a mess but not a disaster I guess. 14.366

12:37 am. Tomomasa Hasegawa, Japan, PB: Really beautiful Ono, but then he smacks his legs on the bars coming down from handstand, and muscles another handstand after that. Off on a pirouette unfortunately. Chest down on double pike dismount. Shame about the fall but that routine didn’t go his way right from the start. 11.466

12:34 am. Mikhail Koudinov, New Zealand, PB: A little lean in his single rail handstand. I hate when these are done with the hands super close together. Muscles up a giant swing after that. Piked double back dismount, stumbled back and sat, ughhh. 12.933

12:30 am. You Hao, China, PB: Double salto to his armpits, first tucked then piked, I hate these so much but they’re so cool. A little off in his handstands, though. Another salto with a half twist, the crowd’s like omg, double front half-out, chest at his knees and a step forward. 15.066

12:27 am. Hibiki Arayashiki, Japan, PB: Quick start for him, getting down to business. Into a really nice handstand. Lost all control on his hop pirouette transition, fell over in handstand twice, but good save both times, still gonna be a hell of a deduction. Basket swing thing into a press handstand was nice, but a handstand after that was a bit short. Clean double front, a little forward on the landing with a step. 14.066

12:23 am. Ahmet Önder, Turkey, PB: Little muscled in his transition to the single rail. Held a handstand for 25 minutes after that. Overall really tight and clean. Big salto into an L sit, another superb handstand, low double front half-out with a step to the side. The angle at which they’re choosing to film this event is BANANAS. 14.633

12:17 am. God don’t even bother following this for p-bars. I mean, I guess I kind of know what to look for on this event in terms of what’s wrong, but I know roughly two skills and they’re both dismounts. I just know that I need Turkey to get gold and silver.

Men’s Vault Final Results

1. Igor Radivilov, Ukraine, 14.949
2. Loris Frasca, France, 14.900
3. Dominick Cunningham, Great Britain, 14.749

8. Milad Karimi, Kazakhstan, 13.583

11:59 pm. Igor Radivilov, Ukraine, VT: Dragulescu, STUCK COOOOOOOOOOLD. I literally yelled. Form issues in the air as always with every Dragulescu ever but dayuuuum. Kaz double pike, chest position is high-key amazing for this vault, just a small hop back. Knees aren’t even all that soft in the air. GET IT IGOR.

11:56 pm. Christopher Remkes, Australia, VT: Dragulescu, a little rushed, landing comes as a little surprise but he’s able to mostly get control, step back/to the side and out-of-bounds. Knee form looked good on the twist, actually, usually I’m like what are you doing, but his were together. Second is the kaz double pike, barely even gets that second flip around, lands it on his hands and knees, almost practically sprawled on his stomach. Actually a hair away from not getting it feet-first and taking a zero but thankfully the bottoms of his toes touched the mat. Bummer especially after he also missed out on floor yesterday.

11:52 pm. Kim Han-sol, South Korea, VT: Oof, handspring Randi, weak in the air and he lands it about a quarter short basically on the side of his foot, falls over. I missed most of his second vault but the landing looked solid, maybe a tiny slide. Kaz 1.5 I believe.

11:50 pm. Zhao Shiting, China, BB: Roundoff layout, little adjustment. Front aerial to split jump to Korbut, PERFECT. Switch leap to split ring jump, little check. Clean full turn. Side aerial, small adjustment in her hips. Good transverse jump. Switch ring is excellent. Clean double full with a step. Very nice work.

11:47 pm. Loris Frasca, France, VT: Kaz double full, mostly super tight in his leg form, just some ankles crossed in the latter half, and his landing just has a little bounce. Very nice. Second vault is a Dragulescu, excellent height, and his cowboying doesn’t look as bad as most on this vault, chest position just a bit down on the landing, and a step back.

11:44 pm. Oksana Chusovitina, Uzbekistan, BB: Front pike mount, EXCELLENT. BIIIISH. Punch front pike, looks like she has it, but then has a little adjustment and it takes her off. Switch leap to split jump, bhs layout, pretty piked on the latter, and she’s off-center, falls again. She’s like I do whatever I want tbh. Punch front tuck is super solid. Full wolf turn is clean. Just a layout dismount, clean and stuck.

11:42 pm. Emma Nedov, Australia, BB: Super solid on bhs bhs layout series. Front aerial to split jump to sissone is lovely. Really nice extension on transverse split jump half, just the tiniest adjustment. Switch leap, pause. Think she wanted to connect it. Switch ring, back knee isn’t quite there. Full turn, clean. Suuuper solid punch front tuck. Double pike seems to rotate pretty slowly but she gets enough of a set off the beam to still have a pretty nice chest position on the landing, just a step. 13.5! 5.4 D, 8.1 E. NICE.

11:39 pm. Milad Karimi, Kazakhstan, VT: Really deep landing on his Roche, ends up sitting it and putting his hand down out-of-bounds. My poor son. Kaz 1.5 for the second vault, mostly clean in the air, almost looks like he’s gonna get away with a baby hop, but then he loses his balance and his leg flies up into a full split, hahahaha, lord.

11:37 pm. Valeriia Osipova, Ukraine, BB: Floaty loso mount, step back out of it, good control on the bhs loso, just a step back out of it, and on the side somi after that. Side aerial with a little stumble. Switch leap to split leap to tour jeté half, UGH, almost gets it, but is a bit short coming out of the second leap and lands the tour jeté a bit too deep and too the side, fall. Fantastic series though. Front aerial to split jump to straddle jump, a little short in the straddle, but nice toe point. Switch half isn’t quite at 180. Double tuck with a lunge back.

11:34 pm. Shin Jea-hwan, South Korea, VT: I believe the first vault was a kaz double full but I didn’t pay super close attention to it or the landing, apologies, was trying to take down the beam scores in the background, but his second was the handspring front double full, not bad in the air, small hop forward.

11:31 pm. Eom Do-hyun, South Korea, BB: Candle mount, one of the better ones in terms of holding the cheststand position for a second and not just falling over backwards. Split leap to wolf jump, tiny adjustment, and came in short out of the bhs into the loso but managed to get it around with no problem. A tad short on the transverse split jump half, ANOTHER full Y turn, and this one is also slightly overrotated but not as much as the other two were. Switch ring, back foot is a bit flexed, front handspring to front tuck, yas! Front aerial to split jump to stag ring jump, tiny bobble, break at the hips on her side aerial but she fights and stays on, clean double full with a hop. YAAAAAAS. So much talent in this final from lesser-known gymnasts!!!!

11:30 pm. Dominick Cunningham, Great Britain, VT: The Biles!! Yurchenko half-on front layout double full, not bad! A little deep in the landing but overall a really strong attempt. YAAAAAS Yurchenko triple for the second vault is pretty gorgeous and the landing is solid, littlest baby step back. HE SHOULD HAVE WON A MEDAL AT WORLDS.

11:27 pm. Lai Pin-Ju, Chinese Taipei, BB: Started with a nice jump, and then a switch ring leap, step forward out of it and her back leg wasn’t quite there. Bhs back tuck, little shuffle back. Clean front aerial but missed the connection into her split jump to stag ring jump, clean side aerial after that. Good side somi, finishes full Y turn about a quarter turn past what it should’ve been, and a pretty solid Rudi dismount with a hop.

We’re three for three with hit beam routines in February! It’s a miracle.

11:24 pm. Hidenobu Yonekura, Japan, VT: Kaz 2.5, really deep landing, stumbles it back quite a bit and his leg form in the air is pretty rough. Handspring Randi for his second vault is also pretty rough in the air, and he’s pretty far forward on the landing with a big hop.

11:19 pm. Elena Chipizubov, Australia, BB: Senior debut! I saw her at Pac Rims last year, she’s quite nice on beam. Long nervous wait for her while the judges go over something with Mana Oguchi’s routine. Here we go, finally, after four minutes! EXCELLENT bhs bhs layout series!!! Good work. Front aerial to split jump to back tuck, gorgeous! Little bobble on the end but that was lovely. Transverse split jump half and a clean full turn, she is also crushing the toe point game. Punch front tuck, big wobble with her leg up but she fights and saves it. Switch leap to split leap, clean and nicely extended. Double full with a couple of steps back. Overall a really gorgeous and promising routine.

11:16 pm. Mana Oguchi, Japan, BB: Front tuck mount, great! Split jump to straddle jump is solid, nice toe point on both. Switch ring, wobble and a low back leg, but good job finding the beam again. Step back out of her bhs loso, looked mostly clean. Full Y turn overrotates a bit, switch leap, missed connection to switch half, split leap to front aerial, split ring jump at the end, think she wanted to connect the three but didn’t. All good, though! Front layout full dismount with a hop back. Overall really strong and her coach is so so so so happy. 13.0665
