1:31 pm. Alice Kinsella GBR FX: 1.5 through to triple full, good landing! 2.5 to front full, leg form looked really nice on both. Lovely on her leap series, think her foot was really the only issue on the switch full, which maybe looked a little rushed in general. Double pike is solid! Little bounce. 13.633 (5.6, 8.033)
1:28 pm. Angela Andreoli ITA FX: Double wolf turn. Whip whip through to piked full-in, a bit short with a hop forward, and her leg form in the air could be tighter. Whip full to double tuck, nice landing there! Switch to tour jeté half, love how she landed that. Memmel to illusion. Front layout through to double pike, chest a little low but her feet land well. Switch full, a little short. She has a few jumps in this routine that land in front support which is fun! 13.666 (5.9, 7.766)
That moves her to third place!
1:24 pm. Alba Petisco ESP FX: Good full-in, just a hop back. Arabian double front, small bounce. Strong whip to double tuck. At least I thought I saw a whip! Hit the last pass. Great work! 13.233 (5.3, 7.933)
1:20 pm. Morgane Osyssek FRA FX: Double double, tiny hop back, but very strong! A little deep on the double layout but just needs a small hop to get out of it. Nice on the leap series. Front layout through to double tuck, chest down but feet barely move. Double pike is maybe slightly slow in rotation but no problems getting a great landing out of it. Really high leg on the hop L turn! 13.300 (5.5, 7.800)
1:18 pm. Touch for the second half!
1:15 pm. Manila Esposito ITA FX: Sails through the triple wolf turn at the start. Double layout, really strong. Small bounce. Switch full. Memmel to illusion. Pretty precise on both. Switch ring to tour jeté half. 2.5 to front layout, a little short coming out of the former but is able to get the punch and land the layout to her feet. Double pike with a great landing. Fabulous!!! 13.833 (5.7, 8.133)
1:11 pm. Abi Martin GBR FX: Starts with a strong Popa. Double double, step back. Excellent double layout, hop back. I think a tour jeté half to switch half for her leap pass. Front layout through to…back 1.5 I think? Maybe 2.5, I couldn’t tell. Had some crossed legs in the air. Double tuck, clean with a small hop. She’s so excellent! 13.200 (5.8, 7.500, -0.1)
1:10 pm. Ugh, my feed just turned off entirely…gonna try to get it back!
WELL THAT WAS EASY, WE’RE BACK. Maybe 5 seconds behind but don’t think it’ll be a huge issue lol.
1:07 pm. Sabrina Voinea ROU FX: Double double, right on the line from the looks of it, solid! Double layout, comes out of it a bit short but gets it into the punch front tuck without issue. Tour jeté full. My stream just paused…eeeee! Okay it’s back. Full-in with a great landing. Hit some dance elements, I keep getting buffering sadly! Double tuck to finish, another great landing. Switch to switch full. 13.700 (5.9, 7.900, -0.1)
1:04 pm. Ming van Eijken FRA FX: Full-twisting double layout, tiny bounce that I believe took her OOB. Front layout through to double tuck, hop back and then wobbled on her heels trying to stay inbounds, kind of laughed it off. Got the wolf turn around. Full-in, a little short, lunge forward. Hop L turn through to switch side half. Strong double pike to finish. 12.700 (5.2, 7.600)
1:01 pm. Touch warmups about to be underway. Back in a few minutes!

Nice to see her in this final! 13.500 (5.9, 7.600)
12:32 pm. Polina Diachenko UKR BB: Layout stepout mount, leg comes all the way up on the wobble after landing, but another good fight. Bhs bhs loso, corrects a wobble into some dance, love that. Double wolf turn. Side somi, strong! Adjustment on the landing. Switch leap, lovely form. Switch half, some foot form but she got the split I think! Front aerial. Sissone to wolf jump.

Switch leap to switch ring to Korbut. Little stumble on the bhs loso. Punch front with a tiny hop. Double wolf turn. 2.5 dismount, mostly clean, small hop. 13.266 (5.4, 7.866)
12:15 pm. Manila Esposito ITA BB: Back handspring mount into the layout stepouts, incredible! Switch leap to split jump half to back handspring, fantastic. Front aerial to split jump to back handspring, GORGEOUS. She is moving brilliantly so far. So fluid. Side aerial. Triple wolf turn, made it look EASY. Back walkover to get to her feet, lovely, and then after some choreo she dismounts with a double pike, small hop. This was an Olympic medal worthy routine.14.400 (6.1, 8.300)
12:12 pm. Marine Boyer FRA BB: roundoff layout, tiniest adjustment but landed SO well. Front aerial, doesn’t connect to the split jump, but gets that to the back handspring. Actually the pause wasn’t SO long, but don’t think I’d count it? Side aerial, little bobble. Split jump to sissone I believe was her jump series, switch half, maybe a hair short, side somi, little wobble but she still gets it into the cross split jump half! Double pike, hop back. Mostly a fantastic routine! 14.033 (6.0, 8.033)

Good routine, some mistakes that will take her score down a little, but overall such a fabulous routine and great fight. 13.866 (6.2, 7.666)

7. Marlene Gotthardt, Germany, 13.166
8. Sara Peter, Hungary, 13.033
10:53 am. Camille Rasmussen DEN VT: Yurchenko double full, leg form is pretty rough throughout, lots of crossing, and she goes crooked off the table, taking a big step OOB and off the mat.13.333 (5.0, 8.633, -0.3)
Second vault is a tsuk full, kind of goes horizontal off the table almost, I gasped for a second, form is also a bit weak in terms of the piked hips. 13.066 (4.4, 8.666)
13.199 average.
10:50 am. Karina Schönmaier GER VT: Yurchenko half-on front layout half, form is actually pretty solid throughout, her hips are great! Maybe too open right when she comes off the table, gets a little banana-esque. Hop back on the landing. 13.566 (4.8, 8.866, -0.1)
Yurchenko full is lovely, not super powerful but she floats nonetheless and lands it super well. Great flare before the landing, just a small hop back. 13.366 (4.2, 9.166)
13.466 average.
10:46 am. Ana Barbosu ROU VT: Yurchenko double full, looks much better than it did in prelims from what my brain remembers? Leg form throughout, a bit piked down, not a ton of power, but landed really well. 13.700 (5.0, 8.700)
Second vault is a tsuk 1.5, fully tucks her legs for the second half of the flight and her hips are a bit closed, but I don’t think enough to downgrade? 13.633 (4.8, 8.833)
13.666 average.
10:42 am. Coline Devillard FRA VT: Handspring rudi, some leg form throughout and lands with her chest down, but nice flare going into the landing, which is SUPER solid! 14.366 (5.4, 8.966)
Tsuk full for the second vault, some wide leg separation in the pre-flight, but it’s otherwise pretty decent, lunge back on the landing. 13.366 (4.4, 8.966)
13.866 average to move into first!
10:39 am. Warmups for the second half underway now!
10:37 am. Marlene Gotthardt GER VT: Yurchenko 1.5, nice pop off the table, some leg form throughout in the air, and a massive hop forward. 13.400 (4.6, 8.800)
Second vault is a handspring front tuck full, her run got weirdly slow as she approached the table, I thought for a split second she was going to balk! Pretty clean throughout in air, minor leg form I guess, not super powerful, hop forward. 12.933 (4.2, 8.733)
13.166 average.
10:36 am. Valentina Georgieva BUL VT: Hit the Yurchenko double (I didn’t see it but her score is good at a 14.066) and then a clean tsuk layout full! 13.533 (4.4, 9.133)
13.799 average.
10:35 am. I had it in my head that this was starting at 10:45 am ET but ALAS I was off by 20 minutes. Glad I caught it halfway between the two! Here’s what we (I) missed…
Ming van Eijken FRA VT: 13.699
Sara Peter HUN VT: 13.033
The german commentator told that camille rasmussen broke her leg 8 weeks ago. Incredible that she was able to do vault again so soon.

I searched for info in this and all I could find is she crashed her vault in the Cairo world cup in early February. And then she didn’t do the other 2. So that must be when it happened. Crazy that she’s back already!
