8. Teja Belak, Slovenia, 12.733
Teja Belak won the overall world cup series title with 63 points, ahead of Anna Kalmykova with 60 and Laia Font with 58.
9:52 am. Ruby Stacey GBR VT: Yurchenko 1.5, some soft knees in the air and has to push her chest forward a bit on the landing to get it upright, but overall solid! 13.700 (4.6, 9.100)!
Second vault is a Yurchenko half-on front tuck, doesn’t get a ton of height off the table but doesn’t really need it, still gets some distance! Small hop forward on the landing. 12.533 (3.8, 8.733)
Averages a 13.316.
9:49 am. Teja Belak SLO VT: Handspring front full, I think she wants a layout but I’d give it a pike. Hop forward and a bit crooked on the landing, and she has some soft knees as she approaches the mat. 13.133 (4.4, 8.733)
Goes for a Yurchenko 1.5 for her second vault but comes down a bit short and she sits it. Ughhh. 12.333 (4.6, 7.733)
Averages a 12.733.
9:44 am. Lia Monica Fontaine CAN VT: Yurchenko double full, mostly excellent in the air, takes a big lunge back to steady the landing. 13.800 (5.0, 8.800)
Second vault is a Yurchenko half-on front layout half, nails the landing! Not as powerful as her first but I think she stays mostly clean in the air. Flexed feet are honestly my biggest critique. 13.766 (4.8, 8.966)
Averages a 13.983 to move into second!
9:41 am. Benedetta Gava ITA VT: Yurchenko double full, tons of power! Some soft form in the air, but not that bad at all, small hop back. 14.133 (5.0, 9.133)
I wish she had a bigger second vault, unless she randomly upgrades here. No, she doesn’t, and she falls. Yurchenko half-on front tuck, which she lands too far back on her heels and sits. 11.400 (3.8, 7.600)
Averages a 12.766.
9:35 am. Hillary Heron PAN VT: Yurchenko 1.5, very tucked throughout in the air, but I don’t think as severe as Mesiri’s form. Her knees are definitely just more soft and not a full tuck…but hers are soft throughout the entire vault and I think Mesiri’s were straight until she fully tucked the last half, which is what got her the downgrade. Good landing though. 13.366 (4.6, 8.766)
Second vault is a handspring front full, the form is kind of all over the place, I think she went for a layout but it was both kinda piked and tucked. But again, could be soft hips and knees and not a downgrade situation…actually I could see them going pike in the replay. Also gets basically no distance and her head comes wildly close to the table as she approaches the landing. Yeah, downgraded. 13.133 (4.4, 8.733)
Averages a 13.449.
9:31 am. Athanasia Mesiri GRE VT: Yurchenko 1.5, actually pretty solid! Two small steps back. Fully tucked her knees in the air at one point going into the last half twist, but the landing chest position was pretty nice. I think a deduction and not a downgrade for the knees? Oh damn, a downgrade! 12.433 (4.0, 8.433)
Second vault is a Yurchenko half-on front layout, suuuuper banana in the air but gets the landing. 13.366 (4.6, 8.766, 13.366)
Averages a 13.099.
9:28 am. Karina Schönmaier GER VT: Superb Yurchenko double full! Lots of power and completes the rotation so beautifully. Minor knee form on the second twist but overall pretty clean as well. Hop back on the landing. 14.000 (5.0, 9.000)
Second vault is a Yurchenko half-on front layout half, some banana form coming off the table but she tightens up into the twist. Goes a bit crooked and has a big hop back but lots of power. 13.600 (4.8, 8.800)
Averages a 14.000!
9:24 am. Charlize Mörz AUT VT: LOVELY front handspring layout half! That looked so good. 13.733 (4.6, 9.133)
Massive Tsuk full for her second vault. WOW. Definitely among one of the most impressive Tsuk vaulters in WAG right now. 13.300 (4.4, 8.900)
Averages a 13.716.
9:18 am. Athletes are being introduced for vault. Will be back once the touch is over!
9:12 am. They’re doing the medal ceremony now so taking a little break here! Will be back with WAG vault soon.

8:57 am. Anze Hribar SLO FX: Opens with a randi down the side, small hop back OOB. Front full to piked double front, lands OOB and takes a big lunge forward. Full-twisting double layout landed well. 2.5 to front layout was looooovely. Full-twisting double tuck, chest down but plants his feet. 13.633 (5.4, 8.533, -0.4 ND, +0.1 B)
Oop, he inquired his score and it’s now lower – 13.433 (5.4, 8.533, -0.6 ND, +0.1 B)
8:53 am. Kameron Nelson USA FX: Triple back, big bounce OOB but so powerful! Full-twisting double layout, chest a little low maybe? 2.5 to front layout down the side. Front full to double front, STUCK! Half-in half-out, stuck with his chest at his knees. 13.966 (5.7, 8.466, -0.3 ND, +0.1 B)
8:48 am. Rayderley Zapata ESP FX: 1.5 to piked double front, small hop. He only used like half of the floor for that, wild. Double-twisting double layout had a lot of form but landing isn’t bad, step. Full-twisting double layout looked stronger. 2.5 to front layout, lots of weird leg separation in the 2.5. Double layout, also with some leg separation and bent knees, gets the landing a little short. 13.766 (5.7, 8.066)
8:43 am. Harry Hepworth GBR FX: Strong double-twisting double layout. Front double full to double front, steps OOB. 3.5 down the side, casual. Triple double, really strong. Triple full down the side. Double double to finish. WELL. 14.433 (6.1, 8.433, -0.1)
8:42 am. Wrapping up the touch for the second half!
8:38 am. Yahor Sharamkou BLR FX: Strong front double full to double front. Double -twisting double layout, minor form but strong landing. Whip to 2.5 down the side, nice, minor form again. Double double, chest down and a hop forward. Arabian double front half-out with a hop. 13.933 (5.6, 8.333)
8:35 am. Artem Dolgopyat ISR FX: Double-twisting double layout, minor form in the air, good landing. Front full to piked double front, stuck that. Double double down the side, chest down and a small hop. 2.5 to double front, superb tbh. Think his last looked like a half-in half-out, good landing. 14.500 (5.8, 8.700)
8:31 am. Noam Berkovich ISR FX: Nice front double full to double front, small hop. Piked double front was great, small movement on the landing. 2.5 to front layout down the side. Hit the randi and then the scale after was fine. Double pike at the end was nice, loved the kick-out. This was really good. 14.000 (5.3, 8.700)
8:25 am. Eldrew Yulo PHI FX: Full-twisting double layout with a hop back. Front full to double front, small hop forward. Both really clean in the air. Triple full down the side had messy legs in the air. Nice control on the scale. 2.5 to front layout. Double layout to finish, little scoot back. 13.600 (5.3, 8.300)
