12:12 pm. Hur Woong KOR PH: Sadly had a fall early on but had a great recovery and looked fab overall! 14.300 (6.7, 7.600)

12:08 pm. Oleg Verniaiev UKR PH: Scissors to handstand, a little short, moves well into the circles, Sohn, Russians between the handles, some hip form, muscled into the handstand for the dismount, but overall a great set. 14.966 (6.6, 8.366)

12:05 pm. Sugino Takaaki JPN PH: Wasn’t typing but this was a solid hit, hip form was really noticeable after the last couple of guys so don’t think his execution will be quite as high but overall a very strong set! 14.933 (6.7, 8.233)

12:01 pm. Stephen Nedoroscik USA PH: Scissors go a little wonky at one point? But nothing severe. Russians on the single handle, Sohn, another one-arm circle, good on all so far, travels in Russians right to Russians at the end, good hip extension for the most part, little tiny muscle to handstand, finishes brilliantly though, big applause from Rhys on the side! 15.300 (6.4, 8.900)

11:59 am. Touch for the second half!

11:54 am. Rhys McClenaghan IRL PH: Scissors to handstand went beautifully, circles at the start and Russians on the single handle, superb, more circles, Russians between the pommels, great extension, travels, more Russians at the end, beautiful into the dismount, SIMPLY INCREDIBLE. 15.533 (6.6, 8.933)

11:50 am. Loran de Munck NED PH: Things were going well throughout this routine until he was going backwards in a circle, hit his legs, and came off. 13.733 (6.5, 7.233)

11:47 am. Max Whitlock GBR PH: Really had to muscle into handstand, almost didn’t make it, down to scissors, single handle Russians, Russians between the handles, all good there, hip and foot form on his circles after, Busnari was a bit short, down to flairs, Russians across the horse and back, leg separation, Russians at the end of the horse, circles into the dismount went well. 15.200 (6.9, 8.300)

11:44 am. Nariman Kurbanov KAZ PH: Scissors through to circles, everything goes really well, minor hip form on occasion, Sohn went well, sorry, I’m typing from memory, also had some Russian work, leg separation into the dismount, but I would call this a big hit! 15.433 (6.7, 8.733)

11:39 am. Men are arriving for the pommels final!

11:19 am. Women’s Vault Final Standings

7. Yeo Seojeong, South Korea, 13.416
8. Shallon Olsen, Canada, 13.366

11:15 am. Jade Carey USA VT: Starts with the Cheng, has a wide leg separation on the pre-flight but pulls together and tightens up in her block, minor form in the air throughout and a solid landing. Small hop back. 14.733 (5.6, 9.133)

Yurchenko double full was excellent! Glad she stuck with this and didn’t go for the Amanar, tbh. 14.200 (5.0, 9.200)

14.466 average

11:11 am. Yeo Seojeong KOR VT: Handspring rudi, not a great block, pikes immediately for the twist and lands basically on her knees, they kind of graze the mat before she takes a big lunge forward. 14.166 (5.4, 8.766)

Yurchenko double full is also really short, stumbles forward and puts her hands down. 12.666 (5.0, 7.666)

13.416 average

11:06 am. Rebeca Andrade BRA VT: Absolutely brilliant Cheng, almost sticks again but as in the all-around, cheats the slightest lack of control into the salute. Truly can barely find a single deduction in the air. 15.100 (5.6, 9.500)

Goes for the Amanar for the second vault! It’s excellent overall, not quite as textbook as the Cheng, but still pretty gorgeous, little steps on the landing. 14.833 (5.4, 9.433)

14.966 average

11:02 am. Ellie Black CAN VT: Handspring front layout full, excellent landing! Some soft hip and knee form in the air but love that her vibe is like WHAT blind landing? Queen. 14.100 (5.0, 9.100)

Tsuk 1.5 with a leap forward, same slightly soft form in the air, but overall a great couple of vaults for her! 13.766 (4.8, 8.966)

13.933 average

10:58 am. Touch for the second half is underway!

10:52 am. Simone Biles USA VT: Yurchenko double pike, gorgeous in the air, three-tenth hop back, looks like OOB, but this was excellent. 15.700 (6.4, 9.400, -0.1 ND)

Huge clean Cheng! Gets way more distance than height, so slightly lacking in that aspect, but I think this was one of her better Chengs in recent memory? Pikes down slightly before landing. Hop back. 14.900 (5.6, 9.300)

15.300 average

10:46 am. Shallon Olsen CAN VT: Cheng to start, weak block with both arms significantly bent, comes horizontally off the table, gets no height, though gets some distance, it’s honestly wild how she can twist that around with no height, I’m not even mad, I’m impressed. Obvious form deductions in the air, short with her chest down and a big hop on the landing. 14.100 (5.6, 8.500)

Also a kind of weak arm block on the Yurchenko double full, goes low and long again and lands it to her knees. 12.633 (5.0, 7.633)

13.366 average

10:41 am. An Chang Ok PRK VT: Yurchenko double full, basically stuck, kinda loses control while trying to hold on but sneaks into the salute. But excellent overall, some pike down in the air. 14.066 (5.0, 9.066)

Cheng for the second vault, looked a bit cleaner than it did in prelims I think? Still noticeable hip and knee form in the air and comes up a little low on the landing, but just has a small hop. 14.366 (5.6, 8.766)

14.216 average

10:37 am. Valentina Georgieva BUL VT: Yurchenko double full, so nice in the air, good amount of power, small hop back. 14.100 (5.0, 9.100)

Second vault is the Tsuk 1.5, also very clean, great landing, just a small bounce. 13.866 (4.8, 9.066)

13.983 average

10:30 am. Women are marching out for the vault final!
