4:10 pm. SHOCKING the 900th inquiry of the meet was rejected!!!!!!!! AGAIN!!!!!!!

BUT GUESS WHAT.

BROOKLYN. WON. FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her face when her score came up was like a modest WTF, I love her.

4:07 pm. Going on 5+ minutes for Brooklyn’s score, don’t even worry about it!

4:04 pm. LONG WAIT FOR BROOKLYN’S SCOREEEEEE. Omg, I’M nervous for her!! Ellie’s like “will I win a medal on every event?” and Brooklyn’s like “will I win a floor medal?” They’re both like nervously waiting.

ANOTHER INQUIRY LMAO, this time for Kara’s floor. DEAR LORD.

4:00 pm. Brooklyn Moors CAN FX: Double front half-out, little slide back. Selling some EMOTIONNNNNN. GOD her choreo and performance are insane. Front double full to front full, a little balance issue on the landing but she turns it into choreo. WOBBLE BUT MAKE IT FASHION. Semenova turn down to her choreo. Switch ring through to a split ring leap half. Split jump full down to more choreo. Queen. 2.5 with some messy legs into a front tuck. Really just her form in that last pass as the only issue, overall it was a ridiculous routine.

3:58 pm. Caio Souza USA PB: Good transition work early on, double front to his arms, one-arm pirouette to handstand, big straddle salto, Bhavsar to handstand, then one to a press handstand, double front half-out with a tiny baby hop. He’ll win that one! Oh, jk, I was wrong! SHOCKING I KNOW. He’s less than a tenth back, 14.366 (6.1 D, 8.266 E). I guess that makes sense, Isaac was ridiculous.

3:56 pm. Kara Eaker USA FX: Front layout to front double full to front tuck, some soft knees in the double full but solid overall. Triple full, nicely rotated, again with some leg form, and a hop back. Memmel to full turn, good. 2.5 to front full, goes a little crooked in her line but just hops it over. Switch ring to tour jeté half, I couldn’t really see her leg form in this. Clean stuck double pike to finish! Fantastic work. 13.800 (5.4 D, 8.400 E).

3:55 pm. Brody Malone USA PB: Break at the hips while muscling to a handstand early on. Bhavsar to press handstand was nice. Some good one-arm pirouette work. Double pike with a hop back. Good routine, just that early handstand. 13.533 (5.8 D, 7.733 E).

3:52 pm. Riley McCusker USA FX: Tucked full-in, hop back, good. Front double full, super wild coming out of it, into a punch front to stag, OOB. Tour jeté half is actually perfect. Double pike, a little low in her set, bounces it back but I couldn’t see if she was OOB or not. Oh yeah, in the next view of it during the replay it’s a super wild bounce OOB with a leg up. Triple wolf turn, only a little bobbly. Switch ring to switch full. Double tuck, a bit buckled with a hop back. Probably her weakest overall at this meet but still hit! 13.300 (5.3 D, 8.200 E, -0.2 ND).

3:50 pm. Isaac Nuñez MEX PB: Really fantastic routine! No big mistakes, had some great salto work and a solid double pike dismount. 14.433 (5.9 D, 8.533 E).

3:48 pm. Abigail Magistrati ARG FX: Nice double pike, lunge back. Triple wolf turn, a tiny bit bobbly at the end, but mostly great. Popa in the corner before her whip to double tuck, little bounce back. Double wolf turn. Switch ring, WAY low on the back knee…to a switch side. Front handspring to front layout. Double full, clean with a little bounce. Excellent job from this wee one! 12.866 (4.7 D, 8.166 E).

3:46 pm. Ariam Vergara CUB PB: Oof, another dude who can’t handle a single rail transition…he gets both hands over but his body is angled almost horizontally and he just kind of flies right off. Rough, the beginning was nice and he was a legit medal contender. Hop giant, huge straddle salto, Bhavsar, a bit arched in a handstand after, Bhavsar pressed to handstand, piked double front with a hop back. 13.133 (5.8 D, 7.333 E).

3:44 pm. Martina Dominici ARG FX: Tucked full-in, big lunge back. Clean Popa. Arabian double front, super clean, but another large lunge forward. Switch ring, kinda low back leg, to tour jeté half. Super clean double tuck with a bounce back. Ooh, she does a full-twisting swingdown basically down into her low floor choreo, I just noticed it, love it. Beautiful double pike to finish. Excellent! 13.233 (5.1 D, 8.133 E).

3:42 pm. Cameron Bock USA PB: Held his first couple of handstands insanely well but then on a swing through to a giant to handstand he’s a little off. Gets the half nicely though, and a hop pirouette as well. Bhavsar work was clean to handstand, Had an insanely gorgeous press handstand right before his double pike dismount. That’ll be big! 14.033 (5.9 D, 8.133 E).

3:40 pm. Ellie Black CAN FX: Beautiful Popa to start. Front full through to triple full, she’s almost superb on that triple now. 2.5 through to double pike, much better than the all-around but still slightly low. You could see her literally trying to conserve power in the 2.5 to not go too far in her line with it, but also have enough to get the double pike around. Switch full to tour jeté half. Ends with a solid front double full. Really excellent routine for her. 13.433 (5.4 D, 8.033 E).

3:39 pm. It sounds like there was an inquiry for Flavia Saraiva’s floor. There have been more inquiries at this meet than there were at worlds. And her inquiry was rejected. SO HAVE THEY ALL BEEN.

3:37 pm. Carlos Calvo COL PB: Lovely transitions and handstands at the beginning. He looks like he has lots of little hand adjustments? Bhavsar, up to L sit, presses to handstand, nice. Bhavsar then pressed right to handstand, piked double back is a little low and messy, hop forward. 13.833 (5.6 D, 8.233 E).

3:34 pm. Thais Fidelis BRA FX: 1.5 through to arabian double front, not enough room for the second part of that pass but she does better to keep it not as out as I thought it would be…though she still lands with a foot completely out. Tucked full-in, hop back. Solid leap series, I think she did a switch full to stag. Double tuck with a big bounce back. Switch ring to split ring leap. Double pike with a large hop back. I really really don’t like her music for her. At all. 12.966 (5.2 D, 7.866 E, -0.1 ND).

3:32 pm. Justin Karstadt CAN PB: Really nice start on almost everything, he was just crooked in a handstand early on. Had a solid salto skill in there, and then a little stumble back on his double pike. Good work! 13.233 (5.4 D, 7.833 E).

3:30 pm. Flavia Saraiva BRA FX: Double layout, nearly stuck, some leg separation. WHY do they change camera angles in the MIDDLE OF A LEAP. Switch full I think. Tucked full-in, nice. Switch to tour jeté full, solid. It’s funny to me that she’s a ring queen on beam but doesn’t have any rings on floor. 1.5 to front full, solid. Oh there’s a ring, a switch ring. I forgot about that one. It was great. Finishes with a double pike, solid, little steps back. 13.766 (5.2 D, 8.566 E).

3:28 pm. Francisco Barretto BRA PB: Really nice routine with just a couple of iffy handstands throughout until the end when he I believe was attempting to transition to or from the single rail, I didn’t quite see it, but he kind of collapsed while in handstand and fell onto the bars before falling off completely. Yeah, it was the transition to a handstand on the single rail. SO close to the end. Double pike dismount. 13.033 (6.0 D, 7.033 E).

3:00 pm. The next 30 minutes will be dedicated to medal ceremonies but will be back after!

8. Randy Lerú, Cuba, 13.083

2:50 pm. Just waiting for Flavia’s score now but Kara with a 1.7 point win is QUEENLY.

2:46 pm. Flavia Saraiva BB: Back handspring mount, into a split jump, good. Roundoff layout, slight check at the hips but good control. Full turn, great, switch leap to sissone, also VERY good. Bhs loso loso, just a tiny slide back. Oooooh Flavia!! Switch ring is perfect in the air, little tiny step on the landing. Front aerial to split ring jump, another one with a wonky landing but excellent in the air. UGHHHHHH, then side somi, too much adrenaline it looked like going into it, and she grabs the beam. Too many nerves because then she falls on a ring leap. Step back on the dismount. CRYING FOREVER. You could tell she was nervous with those first two leap landings alone.

2:44 pm. Randy Leru CUB VT: Sits the Roche to start. His face is like well shit. I mean he cowboys deeper than a diver, and comes off the table about three feet too low to be safely landing that. MAYBE DON’T DO IT. 13.100 (5.2 D, 7.900 E). Also sits the Kaz 1.5. He came into that SO half-heartedly, and again was literally nowhere near landing it.

2:42 pm. Kara Eaker USA BB: Switch leap mount, zero problems. Switch ring, not my fave for her, but gets it pretty solidly. Full Y turn, front aerial to split ring jump to back handspring, lovely, dances out of it, always my fave, you should know this, I say it every time. Side aerial loso loso, maybe a little low with her chest in the second loso but SUPER solid. Split leap to side somi, excellent. Switch ring, low back leg, to back handspring to Korbut. SHE’S GIVING US ANGRY BEAM AND I LIKE IT. She’s unsure of exactly ZERO THINGS. Switch to switch side, perf. 2.5 stuck. This was GOLD. 15.266 (6.6 D, 8.666 E)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the highest legit international beam score by roughly 9 billion points. Oh, Li Shijia got a 15+ in Zhaoqing this year, so it’s the highest by like two tenths.

2:38 pm. Jorge Vega GUA VT: Handspring randi, comes up quite a bit short, but gets it around well enough so that he’s at least facing the right direction. Takes a big step out to the side OOB and is super low on the landing, but in the air it was very nice. 14.433 (5.6 D, 8.933 E, -0.1 ND). Second vault is a Kaz 1.5, great in the air, lunges forward and has a lot of upper body wiggles to keep it straight. 14.333 (5.2 D, 9.133 E). Average 14.383 to finish just behind Audrys Nin!

2:36 pm. Riley McCusker USA BB: Hit both wolf turns very well. Split leap to front aerial to straddle jump, nice work there. Bhs bhs layout, her weakest one here and her leg comes up on the landing, but good save. switch to switch half to Korbut, switch half might be a little low but hard to tell from this angle. Side aerial to split jump to back tuck, basically lands it on one foot but another really great save from her. Double tuck, RILEY WHYYYYY, stumbles it back and sits it. Idk how, honestly, it didn’t look like she was even back on her heels at all, maybe trying to correct from being a little forward? UGH. 13.333 (6.1 D, 7.233 E). I mean, that score with a fall is better than all but three of the scores for hit routines from qualifications, LOL.

2:32 pm. Audrys Nin DOM VT: Another Kaz 1.5, basically identical to Jose’s hahahaha. Like the same directional bounce and everything. Bless. 9.166 is my guess!!!! Omg, 9.066, I’m so generous. 14.266 (5.2 D, 9.066 E). Second vault is a Dragulescu, chest is pretty horizontal but compared to all of the squatted Roches his body position looks AMAZING lol. Hop on the landing. And he’s like, limping away but happy. #MensVault 14.566 (5.6 D, 8.966 E). Average 14.416 to take the lead.

2:30 pm. Agustina Pisos ARG BB: I didn’t see the very beginning, but she came off on a front aerial near the start. Side somi was decent. Hit the rest, and a 1.5 dismount with a hop. I’ll try to see if I can get stuff I missed during the replay. 12.200 (4.9 D, 7.300 E).

2:29 pm. Jose Lopez PUR VT: Beautiful Kaz 1.5, just a slight hop forward. If all of the other “good” vaults today have gotten a 9.1-9.2, this should be a 9.3 E. Nope, just a 9.2, rude. So glad these judges have roughly a two-tenth ranged for vault. 14.400 (5.2 D, 9.200 E). Second vault is a Roche, super low and squatted, pretty sure his butt touched the mat. 13.866 (5.2 D, 8.666 E). Average 14.133.

2:26 pm. Ellie Black CAN BB: Hit her mount and the double spin, just a slight check on the spin with her leg up. Super solid punch front as always. Bhs layout, I can’t get over how improved her layout form looks. Switch to switch half, solid. Side somi, just a little check. 2.5 with some soft knees and a slight hop forward. Very good. 13.566 (5.1 D, 8.466 E).

2:24 pm. Alejandro de la Cruz CUB VT: Kaz 1.5, excellent form, he’s just a little crooked coming off the table, bounces over a couple of feet.  14.400 (5.2 D, 9.200 E). Second vault is a handspring Rudi, again pretty tight in his form, hop back. 13.966 (4.8 D, 9.166 E). Average 14.183 to tie Fabian de Luna but his 14.4 for the kaz 1.5 beats Fabian’s top score of 14.366, so he’ll take the tie-break.

2:22 pm. Fabiola Diaz PER BB: Bhs loso, step back out of it, solid. Tour jeté, a little weak in the form but also pretty solid. Side aerial, a bit short, break at the hips but saves a fall. Full turn, front aerial, a little tentative on both. Switch leap to switch half, little stumble there. Switch ring, low back leg, landed fully on one foot, omg, just swings the other foot alongside the beam like she’s in a toddler class, I remember learning that on day one hahaha. SMART. REMEMBER YOUR DAY ONE LESSONS, KIDS. Hit the front full dismount with some soft knees and a hop forward. 12.433 (5.1 D, 7.333 E).

2:20 pm. Fabian de Luna MEX VT: Kaz 1.5, pretty nice! Great in the air, tiny baby hop that takes the side of his foot OOB. Actually he’s on the line and in by an INCH, amazing. That was fab. 14.366 (5.2 D, 9.166 E). Second vault is a Roche, comes in really low on that landing and is quite squatted but his butt doesn’t touch. Tuck shape is pretty cowboyed but who’s isn’t? 13.966 (4.8 D, 9.166 E), average 14.138.

2:18 pm. Danusia Francis JAM BB: Her fantastic mount series and opening choreo, like a queen. Side somi is great. Excellent transverse split jump half. Bhs loso loso, she’s a little crooked on that last flip and just kind of pops off the end there, noooo! Nothing technically wrong with it, it was a great series but she was just a hair to the left on landing, with her hips angled left instead of straight. Nice leap series after. Front aerial to split jump to back handspring, good, a little over on the Y turn. Her signature transverse side aerial to layout full, maybe a little low but solid. 11.733 (4.9 D, 6.833 E).

2:16 pm. Jose Toro COL VT: Kaz 1.5, a little wonky throughout, and he has to take a big crossover step to stop his momentum, which was a little out of control. 14.233 (5.2 D, 9.033 E). Second vault is a handspring Rudi, lands it basically in a squatted lunge and hops back in that position. Decent in the air. 13.900 (4.8 D, 9.100 E). Average 14.033.

2:13 pm. Ariana Orrego PER BB: She was so amazing in the qualification round, I really hope she can crush it here. Super solid bhs loso. Full turn. Big stumble on the side somi, and then she tries REALLY hard to save it but can’t. 😦 Transverse split jump half is quite short and with a wobble as well. Side aerial is good. Switch leap, low back leg, to tour jeté, nice on the second. Front aerial, pause into the split jump before the back handspring. 1.5 stuck on her toes. Everything else was great, sad about that fall. 11.366 (4.8 D, 6.566 E).

2:11 pm. Luis Porto BRA VT: First vault is a Shewfelt, mostly tight in the air until the last half, but then he runs out of the landing completely off the mat. Like 200 points in deductions from the landing alone. 13.400, just an 8.5 E and a 0.3 ND. Kaz full for the second vault, much better but still not like, tremendously amazing or anything. 13.900, averages 13.650.

1:48 pm. For today’s women’s finals, Riley McCusker and Kara Eaker were the top two on both beam and floor, and if all goes according to plan, they should be able to take the gold and silver on beam pretty easily, but floor will be a much tighter battle, with Flavia Saraiva, Ellie Black, and Brooklyn Moors all right up there in the mix.

If the Americans take the top podium spots for beam, the bronze is really anyone’s game. I and probably everyone else on the gymternet would love to see Danusia Francis make even more history for Jamaica to get on the podium, but Ellie Black and Flavia Saraiva both showed medal-worthy routines in the all-around final.

For the men, the Brazilians will be tough to beat on p-bars and high bar, but Arthur Zanetti looked like an easy lock for gold on rings yesterday only to falter for silver, so anything’s possible in these finals as well, and there several guys on both events who are capable of upsetting, including Isaac Nuñez of Mexico, Ariam Vergara of Cuba, and Cameron Bock and Brody Malone of the United States on p-bars, as well as Huber Godoy of Cuba and Canadians René Cournoyer and Samuel Zakutney on high bar.

For vault, Jorge Vega had a two-tenth lead in qualifications with Audrys Nin of the Dominican Republic and Luis Porto of Brazil close behind. The guys ranked third through sixth were all within a little over a tenth from one another, however, so this could end up being a super close final that’ll just come down to whoever hits best.
