Nazar Chepurnyi UKR HB: 13.033

9:39 am. Hashimoto Daiki JPN VT: Kas double full, lovely in the air, but comes up a bit short and lands pretty low. 14.566

Sugino Takaaki JPN VT: 14.600

The live scores don’t seem to be working for subdivision two? I’m using the FIG’s scoring instead, which is not as easy to follow so I’m not going to get a lot of scores in real time.

9:37 am. Xiao Ruoteng CHN SR: Planche to maltese to iron cross, great. Drops to a hang before his saltos to maltese, inverted hang to pike to iron cross, inverted pike before the back giant to handstand, arching back a bit, double double dismount, a little deep with a step back to steady himself. 13.600

9:36 am. Oka Shinnosuke JPN VT: Kas 1.5 was pretty decent! Nothing super thrilling but nothing super wrong. 14.233

9:34 am. Zhang Boheng CHN SR: I couldn’t type at the start but everything I saw looked solid. The pike through to iron cross was SO TEXTBOOK, simply gorg. Front giant to handstand was pretty clean. Back was a bit shakier but got there without issue, and landed the double double dismount with a small step. 14.666

9:30 am. The second subdivision will see…

Teams: China, Japan, Netherlands, Ukraine

Individuals: Armenia, Australia, Colombia, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan, Philippines, Syria

9:27 am. I just tested positive for Covid (FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!) like an hour ago so if my live blogs are unhinged blame the SUDAFED. Thankfully I’m very mild and the BEST CURE is sitting in my house watching gymnastics. 🙂

Watching the stream on Peacock and following live scores here.
