2:02 pm. Sorry, I missed a couple of things in there. Claudia Fragapane on beam and Kate McDonald on floor. Trying to get the stream on my phone but it won’t come up.

Okay, I think my phone stream is up.

1:57 pm. Georgia Godwin AUS BB: Hit the side somi, bhs loso, bent legs and a wobble. Double pike with her chest at her knees and a couple of steps back.

Trying to get a new stream because I’m missing everything.

1:55 pm. Alice Kinsella ENG FX: First pass started with a 1.5 then I lost the stream. Double pike was good in the air, just a small step back.

1:53 pm. Breanna Scott AUS BB: Side aerial and front aerial were both good, jump series, god this stream is going to kill me, it died again. I think it’s the arena internet though. Double pike dismount crashed to her hands, Australia will count a fall.

1:50 pm. Georgia-Mae Fenton ENG FX: Tucked full-in at the start. Front double full, got the landing well. Losing my stream again, didn’t get to see much after that.

1:42 pm. Poppy Stickler WAL BB: Got the wolf turn out the way, switch to sissone to split jump, my feed keeps buffering so hopefully I’ll see all of this. Hit the flight series. Double full to finish, chest forward. 12.450 (4.7 D)

Ugh, nevermind, it was like “you don’t have enough bandwidth to play this.” Okay, nerds? Trying to refresh.

1:39 pm. Cassie Lee CAN FX: Hit the first two passes with no major problems, and a lunge back on the double pike at the end.

1:37 pm. Jea Maracha WAL BB: Iffy form on the wolf turn. Hit the flight series, front aerial to split jump to Korbut, 1.5 dismount with a hop forward. 12.550 (4.7 D)

1:32 pm. Mia Evans WAL BB: Wild double wolf turn, stands up out of it then gets back down into the wolf position to finish her low to the beam choreo. Switch to split jump, a little off in the split? Off on the back pike series. Side aerial. Off again on the side somi. Double full, hop back. 10.550

1:25 pm. Didn’t catch the scores but I think it’s England and then Australia for top two?

Touch for the first half of rotation three now!

1:20 pm. Poppy Stickler WAL UB: Arched over mid-toe full and came off. Caught a low to high transition and back, I think Maloney to Pak, then a van Leeuwen and piked Jaeger, REALLY had to stretch for that catch! Double tuck with a step back. 11.250

1:17 pm. Emma Spence CAN BB: Candle mount, hit the back pike series, came off on something after but I didn’t see what that was. Switch to switch half, short, to back handspring. 1.5 dismount, nearly stuck. I’m dying…she goes “…okay?” when she sees her score HAHA. 12.150 (5.0 D)

1:15 pm. Jea Maracha WAL UB: Nice handstand before the van Leeuwen (leg separation), blind change to piked Jaeger, short handstand before the bail to stalder to toe-on to toe shoot, caught a little close, blind full, a little late there, and a double tuck, deep with a step forward. 11.750

1:01 pm. Breanna Scott AUS UB: Weiler half to Maloney to clear hip to huuuuuge Tkachev to Pak! Amazing series. Van Leeuwen, short handstand before a toe full, a little muscled through the middle, and a nice full-in dismount with a small step. Overall great routine, that opening series was badass. 13.500.

12:55 pm. Georgia Godwin AUS UB: I wasn’t typing at the beginning but she hit her whole opening series which started with a Weiler to Weiler half…I think into some sort of shaposh to Pak? Also had a van Leeuwen, I forgot if it was connected from the series or not, sorry, I’m also doing U.S. Classic and am trying to double team! But it was a great routine, and she hit the double layout dismount. 13.650 (5.6 D)

12:52 pm. Ondine Achampong ENG BB: I love her tapping herself on the forehead before going. Walkover mount was nice. Switch ring, little bobble. Front aerial, got her jump series, little check at the end of the bhs loso loso, big wobble on something after that but I didn’t see what. Full Y turn, little check. She just looks like she’s competing a bit nervous. Cross split jump half, and a 2.5 dismount, some leg form and a hop. 13.300 (5.7 D)

12:50 pm. Emily Whitehead AUS UB: Maloney to Pak, caught a Khorkina as well, double front dismount came up a little low with a lunge forward but good job to save it from a fall.

12:48 pm. Georgia-Mae Fenton ENG BB: Layout stepout mount. Lovely double spin. Side aerial to back handspring. Switch to split leap, nice. Triple wolf turn, got a bit wobbly throughout, front aerial, and a double tuck dismount, excellent! 13.300

12:44 pm. Claudia Fragapane ENG BB: Hit routine! I wasn’t typing because I thought it was still warmups lol. Had a few stumbles from what I saw, but stayed on! Seeing some in the replay, the biggest wobble was on the standing arabian. 11.650 (4.6 D)

12:40 pm. Moving on to the next rotation! Should have some scores in a second…

England 41.400
Australia 40.300

Wales 39.100

12:38 pm. Emily Whitehead AUS VT: Looks like she’s doing a second vault. Tsuk front pike, kinda tucked it near the end.

12:37 pm. My stream went down again…

Did see Emily Whitehead hit her Yurchenko 1.5 right before that! 13.400

12:35 pm. Georgia-Mae Fenton UB: Toe-on Tkachev to mixed grip to Ezhova, Maloney to Pak, adjusts in the handstand before the van Leeuwen, blind full, and a full-in, good landing! 14.000 (5.8 D)

12:32 pm. Georgia Godwin AUS VT: Tsuk 1.5, lost her knee form in the second rotation and had a big hop forward. 13.750 (4.8 D)

Second vault is a handspring pike half with a huuuuuuuge bounce back, talking like six feet! Or more?! I need distance markers.

12:30 pm. Kelly Simm ENG UB: Wasn’t typing during this set but she had a Derwael-Fenton to Ezhova I think? Also caught two more Tkachevs, one into a Pak, I think Ricna and Downie, or vice versa? Unfortunately off on a van Leeuwen, only one hand was near the bar and the other missed almost completely, sadly. Double layout dismount with a hop forward. 11.800 (5.7 D)

12:28 pm. Alice Kinsella ENG UB: Toe half to piked Jaeger, great handstand before a Ricna, another good handstand before the Pak, then I lost the feed. 13.650 (5.7 D)

Breanna Scott AUS VT: Big FTY, big bounce back. Looked nice in the air! 13.100 (4.2 D)

12:27 pm. While I was gone it looks like Ondine Achampong did bars, they showed a Chow half with bent legs in the replay and then zoomed in SO CLOSE so I couldn’t see anything else. 13.750 (6.1 D) She looks VERY happy with that! Huge smile on her face.

12:26 pm. Okay, it’s back but it’s buffering a lot. We’ll see how this goes!

Romi Brown VT: FTY, clean with a hop back.

12:25 pm. I lost the stream, I think due to my VPN speed…trying to get it back! I lost it right in the middle of the Australia and England touch.

12:19 pm. Jea Maracha WAL VT: FTY, the weakest of the bunch I think, a little piked down with some leg form and a step back. But it was pretty big! And they’ve got some good scores so far! A couple of 13s.

12:17 pm. Maya Zonneveld CAN UB: Nice handstand before the Maloney, ugh, slips off and sits it. Back on and tries the Maloney again, no problem this time, to bail (short, leg separation) to toe shoot. blind change to straddle Jaeger, nice. blind full is a little late. Double pike dismount with a lunge back, one leg was kind of locked on the landing but no problems.

12:16 pm. Poppy Stickler WAL VT: FTY, almost stuck it, chest is forward and kind of bounces high on her toes. 13.000 (4.2 D)

12:14 pm. Laurie Denommée CAN UB: Maloney (some leg separation) to Pak, short handstand before the van Leeuwen, Gienger was a little low, bent her legs while going into her giants, blind full, stuck toe front half dismount. 12.450 (4.9 D)

12:12 pm. Jenna Lalonde CAN UB: Good handstand before the stalder full to Maloney to Pak, another good handstand before the van Leeuwen, blind change to huge straddle Jaeger, and a deep landing on the tucked toe full half dismount, lunge back.

12:08 pm. Emma Spence CAN UB: Great hit routine! I wasn’t typing but that was an excellent start for Canada. 12.550 (4.9 D)

12:06 pm. Looks like Wales and Australia on vault, and Canada and England on bars. Touch is going on now.

11:21 am. Kumudi Imanya Abeyratne SRI VT: Yurchenko with no salto, hop back. I don’t think she meant to do that, she seems pretty annoyed when she leaves. Just caught the DV in the background and her intended was 3.0, so a tuck I think is what she wanted to do. 10.350 (2.0 D)

Scotland at a 109.800 and South Africa at a 108.850 going into the final rotation!

11:06 am. Ruthuja Nataraj IND BB: Bhs loso with a break but holds on. Front aerial with a wobble. Hit the side aerial. Cat leap to switch leap, and a full turn, both good. 1.5 dismount, stuck! 11.350 (4.1 D)

10:29 am. Emily Bremner SCO UB: Blind change to piked Jaeger, some leg separation, bail is a little short, toe-on to toe shoot, had to really muscle the handstand before the clear hip, but gets the fight, and a double tuck to finish.

10:10 am. Moving to bars for India and Scotland, and beam for Malaysia and Sri Lanka!
