8:51 pm. Final Standings

1. Simone Biles 59.100*
2. Leanne Wong 54.100
3. Joscelyn Roberson 54.050
4. Nola Matthews 53.550
5. Katelyn Jong 53.450
6. Zoe Miller 53.000
7. Amelia Disidore 52.800
8. Alicia Zhou 52.750
9. Michelle Pineda 52.450
10. Tiana Sumanasekera 52.100

*Really a 58.9 but the judges over-valued her vault D score by two tenths because they think if someone does a Yurchenko double tuck they’d rate THAT a 6.2 and the pike would be bumped to a 6.4. But at worlds it would be a 6.2.

8:50 pm. Malea Milton UB: Saw her catch her Pak and hit the double layout, hit routine!

8:46 pm. Kayla DiCello UB: Muscled through to the toe full at the start and only got it halfway around. Back on, gets it this time, Maloney to clear hip to Church, blind change to piked Jaeger, Pak, van Leeuwen, and a stuck full-out dismount. Great recovery! 12.200 (5.3, 6.900)

8:44 pm. Marissa Neal UB: Wasn’t typing during this but a hit routine! 12.650 (4.9, 7.750)

Leanne Wong VT: Strong Yurchenko double! 14.150 (5.0, 9.150)

8:41 pm. Simone Biles VT: Yurchenko double pike, absolutely phenomenal, just a step to the side OOB. 15.400 (6.4, 9.600, -0.6) – I think 0.5 of that ND was for Laurent being on the podium helping her.

Eveylynn Lowe UB: I missed this completely, I’m sorry! 12.750 (5.0, 7.750)

8:38 pm. Katelyn Jong VT: Yurchenko double full, lost some of the leg from at the very end but again solid. 13.700 (5.0, 8.700)

Chloe Cho UB: Piked Jaeger, Ray, caught with some wild legs but good fight to save it, Pak, van Leeuwen, missed a cast to handstand after that and had to hop off. Back on for the giants to the double layout, stuck. 10.950 (4.4, 6.550)

8:36 pm. Tiana Sumanasekera VT: Solid Yurchenko double full! 14.150 (5.0, 9.150)

Kaliya Lincoln FX: Double double and double layout are both GREAT! Switch ring to tour jeté half. Front full I think? through to double tuck. Amazing!

Amelia Disidore UB: Hit routine, solid double layout dismount. 12.950 (5.4, 7.550)

Dulcy Caylor VT: Yurchenko double, some form and not as powerful as the first one we saw but still solid! 13.700 (5.0, 8.700)

8:33 pm. Final rotation start lists…

UB – Sunisa Lee, Amelia Disidore, Chloe Cho, Eveylynn Lowe, Marissa Neal, Kayla DiCello, Malea Milton

I think Suni Lee might be a scratch on bars based on the live scores.

7:56 pm. Dulcy Caylor BB: Gorgeous mount. Bhs loso loso, some flex in her feet but SO solid. Switch was slow to the switch half, probably no CV, also shaky on the latter. Front aerial to split jump to Korbut, nice. 2.5, crossed ankles and a step to the side. Great work! 12.700 (5.1, 7.600)

7:52 pm. Jordan Chiles BB: Bhs loso loso, some foot form, big wobble, leg up, saves it, steps back, WOO! Front aerial to straddle jump, slight adjustment. Full turn. Side somi with a check. Switch to switch half, her feet need to point, side aerial, slight check, sissone to a nice pike jump, switch side, double pike, a little deep, lunge back. Everything was a bit problematic but she showed a GREAT fight. 12.800 (5.6, 7.200)

Eveylynn Lowe FX: Arabian double front, a little overrotated, step to correct. Ooh, 2.5 to front full! Double pike I think at the end. Or a double tuck. I was trying to do this by memory but the problem is that I have zero memory. 12.550 (5.3, 7.250)

7:49 pm. Skye Blakely UB: Stalder half to piked Jaeger, Church I think to Pak? I missed the entry, sorry! Toe full was perfection to van Leeuwen, some leg form, double front half with a step back.

7:44 pm. Elle Mueller UB: Great handstand before the toe full, beautiful, to Maloney to Ray, Pak, Chow to Ricna, blind change to front giant to double front, deep with a big lunge/launch forward but wow, this was impressive! 13.300 (5.8, 7.500)

7:41 pm. Levi Jung Ruivivar UB: Straddle Jaeger, nice handstand before a stalder to Ricna, bent her knees before the Pak. Van Leeuwen, legs went a little wild. A little low on the full-in dismount. 12.900 (5.4, 7.500)

Leanne Wong BB: Hit everything at the beginning, side aerial, jump series, bhs loso with a bit of a wobble, full turn isn’t bad, switch ring, front aerial to split jump to straddle jump. 2.5 wasn’t fully rotated in the twist and also landed a bit deep in the knees, big stumble forward but she saved it from a fall. 12.700 (5.2, 7.500)

Malea Milton FX: Hit her opening pass. Skid on the 2.5 but recovered, that was close. Hit the third pass, 1.5 to front tuck maybe? Hop forward. Good double tuck to finish, just some split knees. 11.950 (5.2, 6.750)

7:39 pm. Lexi Zeiss UB: Wasn’t typing but this was a hit routine! 13.350 (5.8, 7.550)

Kayla DiCello FX: Full-in for her first pass and a 1.5 to front full for the second IIRC. Hit the leap pass. Double pike for her third pass, small hop. Easier routine than she’s capable of but done well, the landing on her opening pass was so solid! 13.150 (5.2, 7.950)

7:37 pm. Simone Biles BB: Switch leap mount to switch half to back pike, amazing. Got the wolf turn business and aerial to jump beautifully. Super solid on the bhs loso loso.

7:29 pm. Eveylynn Lowe BB: Switch leap mount was SO aggressive, love. Split ring jump. Or leap? I couldn’t tell from my angle.

Front aerial, check before the straddle to split jump. Good double full dismount.

7:26 pm. Chloe Cho BB: Bhs loso, kind of trips on the landing and then comes off. Switch to switch side, not connected and the second is a bit short. To back tuck. Side aerial, a little short in rotation. Lovely jumps after, especially the straddle. Off again on…a side somi I think it was? Double full was very nice, great landing. 10.500 (4.7, 5.800)

7:21 pm. Dulcy Caylor UB: Toe full, right to handstand, just some form, to Maloney to Pak, clean van Leeuwen, stalder to blind change to front giant to straddle Jaeger, double double was a little whippy but landed it well! 12.900 (5.0, 7.900)

Amelia Disidore BB: Layout stepout mount. Got the layout series! Everything after that is so nice. Little check on the full wolf turn. She’s such a calm and confident beam worker. Side somi with a slight check. Switch side. Double pike with a hop. Excellent job! 12.750 (5.5, 7.350, -0.1)

7:18 pm. Sunisa Lee BB: Beautiful on the wolf turn. Front aerial to split jump to back handspring. Switch leap to switch half to split ring jump. Nailed the side aerial loso loso. OMG. Switch ring, and a gainer full off the end.  14.500 (6.2, 8.300)

Jordan Chiles UB: Toe full, piked Tkachev to Pak, Maloney to Gienger. Caught another release I think, then a bail to toe shoot, HUGE full-in with a hop. 13.900 (5.7, 8.200)

7:16 pm. Tiana Sumanasekera UB: Went for a toe full at the start but got stuck halfway through and couldn’t get it around. Tries it again, nice handstand before the HIT toe full, then a Maloney to Pak, another good handstand before the van Leeuwen, caught the straddle Jaeger, and hit the full-out dismount with a hop. 11.550

7:15 pm. Malea Milton BB: Foot slipped on the punch front pike mount, fall. Also off on the flight series and nearly off on a leap after that but saved it. Big break on the front aerial. Split jump half. Full turn, check. Side aerial. Fell on her dismount as well. Oy, a bummer of a routine.

7:14 pm. Kaliya Lincoln VT: Yurchenko double, form in the air could be a little tighter but it’s HUGE. Big step backwards. 14.150

7:12 pm. Leanne Wong UB: I missed the beginning but got the Bhardwaj connection, Maloney to Pak, great handstand before the clean van Leeuwen, and she hits the double layout with a hop. 13.750 (5.7, 8.050)

Elle Mueller VT: Yurchenko 1.5, leg form in the air. 13.400

7:10 pm. Kayla DiCello BB: Candle mount, clean triple wolf turn. Tour jeté half. Flight series with the smallest check. I think an aerial to split jump after that, to tuck maybe? I don’t remember. Got the side aerial. Double pike, a bit low with her chest, but first time doing that in a while! 13.200 (5.8, 7.400)

Lexi Zeiss VT: Yurchenko 1.5, some soft knees and a step OOB. 13.300

7:08 pm. Simone Biles UB: Weiler half to Maloney to blind full, some leg form, to piked Tkachev to a straight Pak, nice handstand before the van Leeuwen, just some flexed feet there, toe full, legs come apart and she arches over, to the dismount, a full-in.

7:05 pm. Skye Blakely VT: Yurchenko double, really clean in the air, big step back. No score came up for this? It’s showing as a 0.000 in the live scores. Maybe a 14.100?

Yurchenko half-on layout half for her second vault. 13.375 average

Katelyn Jong UB: Arched over the first handstand but brought it back to the full to Maloney? (couldn’t see entry) to Pak, van Leeuwen, legs are a bit rough, inbar to toe half to Jaeger, hit the dismount with no problem. 13.750 (5.9, 7.850)

Marissa Neal BB: Nailed the flight series, had a big wobble at one point that she saved, on acro I think. Front aerial is good. A little shaky on a jump near the end. 12.550 (5.0, 7.550)
