5:58 pm. Touch for the second half!

5:54 pm. Simone Biles FX: Full-twisting double layout, strong landing. This looks MUCH better as her first pass compared to where it was in her classics routine!

Jordan Chiles FX: Strong 1.5 through to full-in! Double layout, maybe a little low in her set, but not bad, hopped back. Front layout through to double tuck, a few steps back OOB, and a double pike to finish, maybe a little short, but I’ll chalk that up to endurance. 13.100

Shilese Jones UB: Stalder full to Chow to Tkachev, nice. Toe full to Downie to Pak, slight leg form on the latter. For the dismount she had a front giant to double front, cowboyed but stuck!! 14.900!
