8:18 pm. Mélanie De Jesus Dos Santos ends up with a 55.032, just a tenth back from Angelina Melnikova! Alice Kinsella currently third with a 54.432 which is the biggest shock of the day/my life/the history of the world. Half a point ahead of Ellie Downie, and Amelie Morgan is two-per-country’ed out of the final.
Chiara Bunce SVK FX: Hit her opening pass, then a 1.5 to front layout, good. Double full with a bounce to finish.
Doga Özgöcmez TUR BB: Had a fall.
8:16 pm. Nazli Savranbasi TUR BB: I missed the beginning of this. Wobbled on a side aerial. Fell on something after that. Hop back on the dismount.
8:14 pm. Mélanie De Jesus Dos Santos FRA FX: She literally just needs to hit this. Double layout with a full twist to start is lovely. Tucked full-in, little steps back. Good switch full. Front layout through to double tuck, beautiful. She honestly looks better than literally everyone here on almost every event. She’s just SO clean and tight and solid. As soon as I say that she’s a bit short on her double pike but that was really her worst mistake all day. Beautiful routine. 13.333
8:13 pm. Angelina Melnikova with a 55.166 to lead the all-around at the moment!
Celeste Mordenti LUX BB: A little tentative on some of her skills. 1.5 stumbled off the podium. 10.600
I think Melnikova wanted to do a ‘Mustafina’ for her second vault but went with the Lopez instead. I didn’t see much of it though.
8:10 pm. Coline Devillard FRA FX: Double layout, step back, hit her second pass a bit low. Double tuck step back OOB. Hit the last pass. 12.000
Angelina Melnikova RUS VT: DTY, a bit messier than when we saw her in Germany in terms of her form. Okay on the landing though. 14.233.
Filipa Martins POR UB: Maloney to Pak, nice amplitude. Blind change to piked Jaeger, bail to toe full, Ray to high. Deep in the double layout landing. Lunge forward. 13.100
8:09 pm. Angelina Simakova RUS VT: Handspring front pike half THANK GOODNESS. Just a small step. Phew. 13.300
Mariana Pitrez POR UB: Good Gienger. Double pike with a step. 11.266
Polina Borzykh GEO BB: Switch ring, bobble. Front aerial to split jump to sheep jump, a little heavy in her landings. Switch leap. 10.733
8:08 pm. Laura Bechdeju ESP FX: Double pike is good. Double tuck with a tiny bounce. Very nice work throughout. 12.366
Julie Søderstrøm NOR VT: I missed this. 12.233
8:07 pm. Diana Varinska UKR UB: Shaposh (didn’t see the entry, not a toe-on though) to Pak, clean, to Maloney to clear hip full, Huge Tkachev half to Gienger, arches over in a toe full after that, into a full-in dismount. Well, she didn’t connect the whole opening series, and then that toe full was rough, but great fight. 13.733
8:05 pm. Raya Ranchova BUL BB: Didn’t see this whole routine but saw lots of really nice moments, including some great connection series! 11.533
8:03 pm. Angelina Radivilova UKR UB: Ricna, slipped and fell. 😦 Took a second to lie on the floor before getting up, just thinking about how cruel the world is. Back on for a Pak, toe-on to Maloney to Gienger, almost caught that with her armpits. Straddle Jaeger is good. Toe half a little late, blind change to double front, sat. Ugh. 10.733
Cintia Rodriguez ESP FX: Double pike clean and solid. Double full at the end was lovely. 12.733
Eythora Thorsdottir NED VT: DTY is back for Eythora as well it seems! Damn NED. Just kidding, she only did the full after putting up the number for the DTY. It was nice though! 13.433
8:02 pm. I believe Alice Kinsella has qualified above Ellie Downie in the all-around! WOULD BE GREAT IF THE RESULTS PAGE WORKED.
8:00 pm. Laney Madsen BUL BB: Hit her flight series. Wobbled on her side aerial, then fell. Double full dismount. 11.200
Agnes Suto-Tuuha ISL FX: Had a solid double tuck at the beginning. 11.066
Tisha Volleman NED VT: The DTY is back! Knees are a bit messy but good landing. Average 13.666, I missed her Lopez.
Jessica Castles SWE UB: Blind change to straddle Jaeger. Pak, Maloney to bail to toe full to toe shoot, good, just some form issues. Double tuck. Chiara Bunce cheered for her the whole time. TEARS. Club teammates FTW. 12.133
7:58 pm. Okay so Mélanie only needs a 12.266 to tie for the lead!
7:56 pm. Teja Belak SLO VT: YAY, she hit the handspring front layout full! Solid landing too. 14.366
Nora Feher HUN UB: Maloney to Pak, some flexed feet. Nice Endo to piked Jaeger!! Stalder to giants, double pike is clean and solid. Very nice routine.
Alice Kinsella GBR BB: Back dive mount to chest stand. Hit her wolf turn. Had a wobble on something after but I didn’t see the skill. Front aerial, little wobble, double pike, chest at her knees. 13.566
Kristina Pychova SVK FX: Good double pike. That’s all I saw!
7:54 pm. It would be amazing if scoring worked either in the arena or on the app! I can’t get AA standings Afaslkfj;asfdja;lfkj
7:48 pm. Mélanie De Jesus Dos Santos FRA BB: Excellent punch front pike mount. Punch front pike after that is excellent as well. Bhs layout, big wobble and break at the hips but saves it. Nice on a jump after that. Good front aerial to split jump to back handspring. She’s SO tidy on everything. Leap series is lovely. High double tuck, slide back. 13.233!
Angelina Melnikova RUS FX: Turns at the beginning into the corner are a bit rushed. Full-twisting double layout and double layout are both sliiiiightly forward. Front tuck through to double tuck, little bobble on that landing but damn compared to nationals she looks like a goddess. Double pike at the end, little windmill with her arms and chest a little forward but overall good! 13.533!
7:45 pm. Coline Devillard FRA BB: Off on her swtich side. Solid bhs loso. Hands down on her double pike dismount.
Angelina Simakova RUS FX: 2.5 to front full is good, little ohp. Low tucked full-in, hands down. 😦 Double tuck at the end was a little low. 11.933
Doga Özgöcmez TUR UB: Huuuge Tkachev between the bars! Hit routine. 11.166
7:42 pm. Cintia Rodriguez ESP BB: Back handspring mount is lovely. Hit her flight series then a lovely switch leap to split leap, THOSE TOES. Front aerial. Switch ring is nice. Clean double full. Beautiful routine. 13.033!! Omg that could qualify.
Filipa Martins POR VT: FTY, lunge back. 13.366
Julie Søderstrøm NOR FX: Good double pike. Bounce back on her double full. Love the ending choreo. Great routine. 11.933
Nazli Savranbasi TUR UB: Deep stalder full, nice. Chow to Pak, also good. Ray to high. Good piked Jaeger then a big Tkachev. UGH, she was doing so well, then had to re-start her kip and rest on the bar before her double front, a bit low. Just lost steam right at the end which is a shame, she’s a lovely bar worker. 11.333

Angelina Radivilova UKR VT: Second vault was a huge FTY, some leg form, big step back.
7:37 pm. Eythora Thorsdottir NED FX: Lovely 2.5. Triple full to punch front works out really well for her. Lovely in her turn series. Double tuck with a little bounce. Beautiful routine. 13.300! Currently second.
Polina Borzykh GEO UB: Maloney to Pak, went for a toe-on but flew forward off the bar, that was nuts. Gets the van Leeuwen when she gets back on, and a good Tkachev. Double tuck with a step. 11.600
7:35 pm. Jessica Castles SWE VT: FTY, not bad, just a little short/not super powerful. 13.100

Diana Varinska UKR VT: I missed what she did. 13.500
Angelina Radivilova UKR VT: Lopez, not bad, some leg form. 13.900
7:31 pm. Sara Peter HUN VT: Went for the DTY…and it was a great one! The landing was especially nice. 14.333. Hungary now has two SOLID DTYs. Then Zsofia Kovacs gets hers back? They’re a huge threat this year. Handspring front layout half for her second vault, great! Averages 13.983 which is amazing for her!
Chiara Bunce SVK BB: I missed this. 10.033
Tisha Volleman NED FX: UGH I MISSED THE BEGINNING. Was really hoping to see if she did her crazy opening pass. Only saw the double tuck. Crowd went wild for it though. 12.733
Laney Madsen BUL UB: Maloney to Pak, some leg form, toe shoot, caught a release, just a layout dismount. Got a little stuck at a couple of points but made it through. Good team camaraderie between her and Raya Ranchova, which I love to see. 11.433

Bhs loso, front leg comes up but overall a nice series. Front aerial, slight check, misses connection to split ring jump. Double wolf turn, mostly controlled. Side somi, good. Tiniest bobble.

6:31 pm. Angelina Simakova RUS UB: Stalder to Maloney to Gienger, a little crooked on the catch but it doesn’t phase her. Blind chge to big piked Jaeger, toe full to Pak, some leg form in the toe full, van Leeuwen is a little messy. Hit the dismount, I believe a double front. 13.666
Coline Devillard FRA VT: Rudi is pretty excellent in terms of the landing. The form in the air could use some work but really impressed with the height she’s getting on this vault. 14.966!!!!!!!!! Second vault is the DTY, flared with a step back. DAMN COLINE. 14.216 for this, step OOB that I didn’t see.

Doga Özgöcmez TUR FX: Solid double tuck. Front tuck through to layout full with a bounce. 11.100
6:24 pm. This is a huge subdivision with “the Gelyas” – Simakova and Melinkova – as well as the French, with Mélanie De Jesus Dos Santos capable of qualifying into several finals while Coline Devillard will be hoping to top the vault field, something she can totally do now after Maria Paskea’s struggles.
Also in this subdivision are the Ukrainians, with Diana Varinska going for the bars final while Angelina Radivilova hopes for beam and floor, and then of course we have the Dutch with Eythora Thorsdottir and Tisha Volleman in the mix, while Great Britain will round things off with Alice Kinsella and Claudia Fragapane, with Kinsella’s best shot at an event final coming on beam, while Fragapane could very well get in on floor.
The Alices are killing it today! So happy for both Kinsella and D’Amato!

I love Amelie but GO ON ALICE! Everyone thought she shouldn’t have been on the team and GMF should have gone but she proved them wrong, what an icon

In fairness, I don’t think that the criticism was about her personally, more the make up of the team for an individual Euros. I didn’t see anyone saying her place specifically should have gone to GMF, just that (before Simms injury) it made no sense to send 4 AA gymnasts when they had a very good chance of a bars medal.
Of course, we don’t know if GMF is carrying an injury or anything like that.
