11:46 pm. Actually the U.S. is just about a point back! The online results hadn’t fully updated, NATURALLY.

11:44 pm. Brody Malone has a considerable wait for his score. 13.550, the U.S. will finish second to Brazil by about 1.6 points, really not bad!

11:42 pm. Brody Malone USA SR: Good routine from what I’ve seen so far, saltos up into the straddle sit, nice tight handstand form, oh, but then on another handstand after…and a second after that…he’s super arched back and can’t really hold it. Steps back on the double double.

13.650 for Cameron Bock’s rings

11:40 pm. Andres Martinez COL PB: Swings through up to a pike sit, then flips that over and goes into a handstand. Big straddle salto, also has a Bhavsar, his dismount is like, a layout 1.5 I think, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that on p-bars but hey. Good routine. 13.250

11:39 pm. Robert Neff currently leads the all-around, btw! 82.350, a little over a tenth ahead of Arthur Mariano!

11:38 pm. Cameron Bock USA SR: I love that this is just the USA feed now. They’re like “what other teams?” Maltese, swings down into an inverted handstand, straddle planche, angle could be a little better, nice handstand hold, swings through to another one that has a little wobble, saltos up into a straddle sit, presses to handstand, double double with a step back. Great! 13.650

11:37 pm. Robert Neff with a 13.000 on rings…the other two are gonna need 14+ scores to make up for the deficit basically, and I don’t think that’s possible at this point…but a really great fight for this B team up against what is basically Brazil’s full A team!

11:36 pm. Genki Suzuki had a 13.200 for his rings set, they’re gonna have to pick up a little steam here, but it’s going to be so close!

11:35 pm. Robert Neff USA SR: Nice high planche, L sit, we’re getting a backwards view so kinda hard to see everything, saltos transitioned well into an L sit, press handstand, a little shaky, then he arches over the next one a bit, full-in half-out dismount, flies forward on the landing.

11:34 pm. Reiss Beckford with a 77.950 to finish up his day!

11:33 pm. Jostyn Fuenmayor VEN FX: I looked up about halfway through his routine but think he hit the first few passes. Hit a front full and a 2.5 at the end. 12.750

11:31 pm. The U.S. will need to average scores of 13.820 on rings to take the gold. Great lead right now but Brazil is coming back with a 43.350 on vault, so it’s going to be tough for the U.S. I don’t know this team well enough on rings, but I don’t think they’re particularly a standout team here? I’ll just bite my nails.

11:27 pm. ROTATION 5 TEAM STANDINGS

1. United States 209.000
2. Brazil 207.100
3. Canada 204.525
4. Mexico 198.950
5. Cuba 198.900
6. Colombia 197.350
7. Venezuela 193.450
8. Peru 189.225
9. Argentina 181.400

11:25 pm. Ooh, a 14.500 for Brody’s pommels! And a 14.100 for Robert Neff!! YAS, that’ll keep them right up there with Brazil even with Brazil ending on vault! It’s gonna be SO CLOSE.

11:23 pm. Joseph Fox TTO SR: Really rough routine, one of the weaker ones I’ve seen for rings…had to take an extra swing between his saltos and a handstand, and then just did a double tuck dismount. 11.600

11:22 pm. Cameron Bock got a 13.950 on pommels, I haven’t seen scores for Robert Neff or Brody Malone yet, though.

11:20 pm. Reiss Beckford JAM SR: Saltos transitioned kind of messily into his straddle planche, down into L sit and pressed up into handstand nicely, just a tiny hop on the dismount, I think he meant it to be a full-twisting double layout but he was pretty piked throughout. 12.950

11:19 pm. Randy Leru CUB PB: I didn’t really watch this, sorry, I’m getting SO sleepy and literally could not even force myself pay attention to p-bars, but he hit, I think he had a double front dismount. 13.725

11:17 pm. Brody Malone USA PH: Some little muscles through at the beginning, he’s not super fluid, and his body line is kind of messy and soft…but he gets better as he goes through it, a solid hit and I think his D is quite higher than most here?

11:16 pm. Jose Toro COL VT: Handspring Rudi, lots of power! Really solid in the air and just a big hop on the landing. But that was pretty lovely. 13.900 for this, his second vault.

11:14 pm. Robert Neff USA PH: Scissors at the start, he’s mostly moving fluidly throughout this set, legs mostly great, just a slight pike down in his hips. Another hit set! 14.100!

11:13 pm. Andres Martinez COL VT: Kaz full, he put up the number for a 1.5 but I guess played it safe. Solid enough! Before him, his teammate José Martinez did a handspring Rudi I think but I barely saw it. 13.850 for Andres.

11:11 pm. Junior Rojo VEN UB: Yamawaki, form is iffy, stoop half, straddle Tkachev, blind change, Weiler kip, Endo full, his arms on that were weird, full-twisting DLO, hit. Simple set but got through it. 11.550

11:09 pm. Genki Suzuki USA PH: Had some leg separation near the end and then a MAJOR muscle up into the handstand before the dismount, but overall a really aggressive set. Hips are pretty close to the horse throughout and little form things as well but again, hit. That’s what they needed for a leadoff. 12.950

11:03 pm. ROTATION 4 TEAM STANDINGS

1. United States 166.450
2. Brazil 165.050
3. Canada 164.875
4. Cuba 157.625
5. Venezuela 157.600
6. Mexico 156.700
7. Colombia 155.250
8. Peru 152.300
9. Argentina 150.700

11:01 pm. Jesus Moreto PER HB: Big air on his Yamawaki, Kovacs is good, blind change to front giant in L grip to stoop half, a little crooked there, blind change again to a stoop, Endo, and Endo half, dismounts with a double double, I think he meant to lay it out but his knees were pretty bent. 12.450

10:59 pm. Brody Malone USA FX: Piked double front with a hop forward. Double double, chest a bit forward and I think his heels were OOB. Front double full to barani. 2.5 to front full. Split into a straddle press handstand. Side pass is a 1.5 to tucked barani. Glad he could calm those nerves down after HB. Good triple full to finish, just a step back. 13.550

10:58 pm. Alejandro de la Cruz CUB VT: Handspring Rudi, not bad, big hop back OOB. 13.550, this was the second of two vaults for him, his first was about half a point higher.

10:57 pm. Robert Neff with a 14.050 on floor but we didn’t see the routine.

10:56 pm. Arian Leon Prado PER HB: I missed the beginning, saw a Yamawaki and a Weiler kip, hop full, and a DDLO with a lunge back, he looks happy with that!

10:54 pm. Ariam Vergara CUB VT: Blanik, nowhere close to hitting it :-/ His first pike shape was really nice but oof, that was a hard fall. 13.550

10:53 pm. Cameron Bock USA FX: Piked double front, hop forward. Front double full to front layout, a little arched, hop back. 2.5 to front full, nice, little hop forward. Somersault into a straddle sit that he presses into a pike sit pressed up to handstand, down into a split, and then into a press handstand. His prep for that took 25 minutes. 1.5 to Rudi, good. Triple full with a couple of small steps back. Good work! 13.700

10:51 pm. Randy Leru CUB VT: Roche, literally THE MOST cowboyed, still struggles to get it around, sits it. This was his second vault, thankfully, so won’t affect his AA. He got a 14.300 for his first vault, assume it was a Kaz 1.5?

10:49 pm. Genki Suzuki USA FX: Front double full to front layout, oof, skids it and then sits it. Double double is pretty low with a hop forward. 2.5 to barani is better. Punches into a Rudi for his side pass. A split into a straddle press handstand, is it bad that I always just ignore this part of the routine? Hit the pass after that, a 1.5 to front full I think, and then finishes with a really buckled triple full. 12.100

10:44 pm. ROTATION 3 TEAM STANDINGS

1. Brazil 126.300
2. United States 125.150
3. Canada 124.350
4. Venezuela 118.050
5. Mexico 116.350
6. Peru 115.100
7. Cuba 114.975
8. Colombia 114.750
9. Argentina 112.550

10:43 pm. Reiss Beckford JAM FX: Stuck the piked double front! Front double full to front tuck full, good as well, just form things. Something I didn’t see to front full, little bounce. Double full, two baby steps out of it. 2.5, and finishes with an arabian double front, good!  13.600!

10:39 pm. Brody Malone USA HB: Huuuuuge Yamawaki but he misses a hand when he catches and flies off, does a somersault in the air and then rolls over on the ground as well, I literally yelled HOW IS HE ALIVE but it wasn’t so bad in the replay. Just a really hard fall, hahaha, and probably a huge bummer to miss on a Yamawaki of all skills. Back on for a Kovacs, just some messy legs, and then a layout Tkachev, which he misses completely. 😦 😦 Does it again to get credit, and falls again, KILL ME. BRODYYYY. 😦 This is a bummer. Looks like someone was just like “please continue without this skill” because he’s saying something back to them and then is like “okay.” Back on for a stoop…full I think but he kind of rests on the bar halfway through, this poor dude. Stalder, full pirouette, and a DDLO with a hop back. 7.850 sobbing

10:37 pm. Francisco Acuña CRC FX: Hit his first pass with a hop back. Triple full, a little underrotated, hops it over. 1.5 to front layout, a little whippy/arched. Front tuck full to barani. 2.5 with a step over. 11.900

10:34 pm. Andres Martinez COL PH: He came off almost instantly, got back on, got through some skills, and then came off again. Back on for Russians and then his legs get a little wild when he travels in a wide arm position, but finishes well. 10.850

10:31 pm. Robert Neff USA HB: Another Yamawaki to Gienger and then an Endo full. Layout Tkachev to straddle Tkachev half, catches it a little…off. layout Tkachev half, blind full, DDLO with a step forward. 13.050

10:29 pm. Grant Breckenridge USA HB: Huuuge Yamawaki, into a Gienger! Love a little variety in my high bar routines. Endo full, straddle Tkachev to layout Tkachev, straddle Tkachev half, stoop, stoop half is a little late, clean full-twisting double layout with a hop. 13.200

10:28 pm. Jostyn Fuenmayor VEN VT: I missed what he did, just saw him kind of bounce into a lunge on the landing.

10:26 pm. Genki Suzuki USA HB: Yamawaki to Endo, stoop half, layout Tkachev, some hip form, straddle Tkachev, he moves so slowly and steadily. Straddle Tkachev half, stoop to Endo, DDLO, gets a little low with it, hop forward. 13.200

10:23 pm. ROTATION 2 TEAM STANDINGS

1. United States 85.700
2. Brazil 85.450
3. Canada 83.550
4. Mexico 79.000
5. Argentina 77.650
6. Colombia 77.375
7. Peru 77.200
8. Cuba 75.725
9. Venezuela 75.650

10:20 pm. Reiss Beckford JAM HB: Kovacs and Kolman, just some little leg things in the Kovacs but the Kolman was nuts and he basically caught it sideways. A clear hip, bless, hop full and Rybalko with some leg issues, blind change into L grip, just does a swing and then goes back to regular grip, DDLO dismount a little scrappy in form, and low, with a hop. Overall really solid! 12.600

10:17 pm. Robert Neff USA PB: His lines are insanely gorgeous. Omg, his pirouette to the single rail right into a kip and then into the inbar straight press up out of it back to two rails, insane. Just got a little wobbly in a handstand transition right before the end, solid double pike dismount. 13.900

10:16 pm. Brody Malone USA PB: Had a little hesitation on a pirouette transition and one of his handstands was super short. Nice press handstand out of the…Bhavsar? Is that right? I hate PB. One-arm pirouette was great. Double pike with a little bounce back. Aside from those little mistakes at the beginning, this was great. 14.150.

10:15 pm. Randy Leru just hit pommels but the blog was refreshing so I didn’t even try to type. Here’s a replay, his hips are nice and high above the horse for the most part, just some little things throughout. 11.850

10:14 pm. We didn’t see Cameron Bock’s PB routine but he looked super happy coming off the podium and got a 14.4! Woo. He looks SO YOUNG omg.

10:12 pm. Didier Lugo COL FX: Randi, a bit messy, hops over and over-rotates the landing a bit. I didn’t see what he did for the next pass but there was a big hop there as well. Double tuck, hop forward. 1.5 to Rudi side pass. Double full is good and clean. 2.5 with a hop forward to finish. 12.600

10:11 pm. Jesus Moreto PER VT: Yurchenko 1.5, little hop to the side. The crowd is happy with that! 13.700

10:09 pm. Grant Breckenridge USA PB: His handstands are SO straight and nice and controlled. Just had one really where his hip angle kind of faltered for a bit. Press handstand is gorgeous, beautiful double pike with a step back. Lovely work! One time a couple of years ago I missed a letter in his last name on a results sheet and his dad emailed me and was like “FYI you missed a letter but it’s a REALLY long last name and that’s why we gave him a short first name!” I was like LOL bless, I’ll root for him forever. 14.000! 8.6 E.

10:08 pm. Someone on Peru just sat a vault but I didn’t realize the touch was over, WHAT ELSE IS NEW.

10:03 pm. ROTATION 1 TEAM STANDINGS

1. Brazil 43.150
— United States 43.150
3. Argentina 41.200
4. Canada 40.750
5. Colombia 39.675
— Cuba 39.675
7. Mexico 38.750
8. Venezuela 37.750
9. Peru 36.250

10:02 pm. Jesus Moreto PER SR: Hip angle is a little low in his straddle planche, swings through to L sit and then back up to a better planche. Arched and shaky in a handstand after that, saltos into a handstand with suuuuper bent elbows, he has to really fight to hold that up, full-in half-out double tuck dismount to finish. 12.500

10:00 pm. Jostyn Fuenmayor VEN PH: Nice aggressive scissors into handstand, then back down into scissors before continuing his swing. Had a very fancy press up into his pirouettes, but then hit his leg on the side of the horse shortly after coming back down, fall. 😦 Hit the rest after getting back on. 12.300

9:59 pm. Daniel Agüero PER SR: Presses into a maltese then swings into an inverted handstand. Leg form is a bit wonky in his swing overall. I hate this front-on angle for rings, I can’t tell what’s happening. Salto into an L sit, a little shaky in the handstand before his dismount, I think it was a full-in half-out. 12.100

9:57 pm. Adickxon Trejo VEN PH: Oh, I guess pommels is still going too. Scissor work at the beginning is good, he has some leg separations and floppy feet throughout the routine, and his hip angle could be more extended, but overall this was a nice hit for Venezuela. 13.300

9:55 pm. Arian Leon Prado PER SR: How are we only on the SECOND rings routine?? Literally everything else is done LOL. Anyway he starts out very well, a little swingy in his straddle planche, salto skills up into an L sit, transition could be tighter, hop back on his dismount, full-twisting double tuck. Solid routine, just simple. 11.650

9:54 pm. We’re just getting random replays of various skills right now, I’m sure someone’s competing and they’re just like “sorry, we’re not going to show you this because you can just watch stuff you’ve already seen instead.”

9:49 pm. Randy Leru CUB FX: Double front, a little messy, hop forward. 2.5 to Rudi, step to the side OOB. I think that’s a downgrade, I’m pretty sure he used to do that into a front double full. Hasn’t he been injured? I can’t remember. 3.5 to front tuck full is better on the landing. 1.5 to front full, clean there. Triple full to finish, messy ankles and just a hop back. 13.150

9:48 pm. Didier Lugo COL HB: Yamawaki, layout Tkachev, a little high and close but no problems catching, same with the straddle Tkachev, blind change to stoop half, straddle Tkachev half, stoop to Endo, and then a grip change into his Endo full, nice. DDLO dismount, very nice! Stuck that cold. 13.075

9:47 pm. We missed Robert Neff’s vault but he got a 14.250, really solid start for the United States.

9:46 pm. José Martinez COL HB: I wasn’t typing at the beginning of this but he had a nice layout Tkachev and everything else was fine until the dismount, a full-twisting double layout, just kind of punched forward out of it which launched him to his hands.

9:45 pm. Brody Malone USA VT: Hit a Kaz 1.5 pretty well, I wasn’t paying super close attention to how it looked in the air, but the landing looked like he just had a step OOB. 14.450!

9:44 pm. Andres Martinez COL HB: Yamawaki and Tkachev are both good. Rybalko, hop change to Endo, stoop half, stalder, hop full, DDLO dismount stuck! I think he had both twists in the second flip, I assumed he was gonna do a full but then he was like SURPRISE. 13.200

9:43 pm. Cameron Bock USA VT: Kaz 1.5, a little scrappy, big step forward to control the landing. 14.400

9:42 pm. Grant Breckenridge USA VT: Solid DTY, fights to hold onto the landing, but overall really strong! 14.300

9:40 pm. Rafael Rosendi CUB FX: I missed the beginning of his first pass, maybe a front double full to a front full, a little soft in his knees. Hit the second pass well, and then an arabian double front for the third, also very nice. Front layout is a bit arched, into a front full. Bounce back on his side pass. 2.5 to finish, some leg form and a step.

9:38 pm. Touch warm-up is just finishing now!

9:29 pm. Getting ready for the second and final subdivision of men’s competition!

This sub includes the United States as the top team, and though it’s not the A team, they’ll definitely still be a major podium threat. It’ll just come down to how they hit here to see if they’ll get ahead of Canada and/or Brazil. I think Brazil is stronger than this team, but Brazil also had some mistakes today, so it could be close!

Also in this subdivision are Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, and host team Peru, as well as individuals from Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, and Costa Rica.
