11:26 am. Nathalie Westlund SWE UB: Maloney to Hindorff, hop change to straddle Jaeger, so aggressive so far! Big Ray to Pak, superb! Ugh, misses the catch on the van Leeuwen, her twist looked a little late and like she didn’t have the height. Back on for a second attempt at the van Leeuwen, nice handstand before the blind full, very clean, and a double layout dismount, tiny bounce. Ugh, this could’ve EASILY been on the podium. 12.933 (5.8, 7.133)

11:19 am. Zlata Osokina RUS UB: Inbar half to piked Jaeger, inbar full goes a bit messy, she fixes herself and gets into the Downie, but is too rushed and can’t catch the release, fall. Komova II to Pak, Maloney to Gienger, maybe a little close and muscles the next handstand, full-out with a step forward. Super long wait for her score. 12.000 (5.6, 6.700, -0.3 ND)

11:15 am. Yang Fanyuwei CHN UB: Front pirouette to layout Jaeger, some foot form, Downie to Pak, lovely. Stalder full to van Leeuwen, super clean. Lovely toe full to full-in, stuck! PERFECTION. 15.266 (6.6, 8.666)

11:11 am. Céleste Mordenti LUX UB: Clean straddle Jaeger, toe-on to toe full, arches over and comes off sadly. Back on for a Pak, clear hip to Maloney to Gienger, nice float there, double layout dismount, stuck. Ugh, such a shame about that fall! 11.900 (5.3, 6.600)

11:08 am. Touch for the second half!

11:06 am. Elena Colas FRA UB: Inbar half to Endo half to Maloney to stalder to Ricna, nice! Pak, super clean van Leeuwen, inbar full to full-in, almost sticks it, small hop forward! Brilliant. 14.300 (6.0, 8.300)

11:01 am. Ekaterina Andreeva RUS UB: Think her root skill was an inbar full to Komova II, goes a bit wild on the backswing and front tucks out of it to fall safely. Back on for a Maloney to Pak to van Leeuwen, piked Jaeger, toe full, and full-out dismount with a lunge back. 12.400 (6.0, 6.400)

10:57 am. Tian Zhuofan CHN UB: Front pirouette sequence to the layout Jaeger, and she falls. Back on for a Pak, toe-on to Maloney to lovely Gienger, though perhaps caught ab it close, full-in dismount with a deep landing and lunge back. 13.066 (6.0, 7.066)

10:54 am. Vanesa Masova CZE UB: Nice handstand before the stalder to stalder full Chow half, stalder half to straddle Jaeger, Pak to toe-on to van Leeuwen, minor leg separation in the latter, toe front layout half with a step back. 13.200 (5.6, 7.600)

10:52 am. Touch is wrapping up for uneven bars!

10:41 am. POMMEL HORSE FINAL STANDINGS

6. Mamikon Khachatryan, Armenia, 13.433
7. David Ivanov, Bulgaria, 13.400

Zeinolla Idrissov won the overall world cup series title with 75 points, just three points ahead of Hamlet Manukyan! Nariman Kurbanov was third with 60 points.

10:36 am. Mamikon Khachatryan ARM PH: Scissors to circles, Russians on the single handle, one-arm swing, hip form could be a little tighter, Busnari goes well but then he hits his legs on the horse going into the flairs and has to come off. NOOOOOO. Back on to repeat the Busnari into the circles, much better and more controlled overall this time, travels, moves well into the handstand for the dismount. 13.433 (5.8, 7.633)

10:34 am. Hamlet Manukyan ARM PH: Huuuges scissors down to circles, Russians on the single handle, aggressive into the one-arm swing, keeping his form so nice throughout, another one-arm, Russians between the handles, god he moves so fast I can barely type, travels well, perfect into the dismount, WOWSERS. OKAY THEN.

10:30 am. Tru Hagens AUS PH: Scissors to circles on both handles, nice, then up to the Busnari, minor adjustment but lovely down into the flairs, REALLY nice height on these, and he has great extension. Moves to travel with minor form but then goes into the dismount a little rushed I think but gets it around! And kinda covers it up. 13.966 (5.4, 8.566) – moves into third!

10:27 am. Gregor Rakovic SLO PH: Scissors to handstand down to scissors, a few minor adjustments, circles well on and off the handles, travels in Russians then circles, really has to muscle to get the handstand but it’s clear his legs are so far below his hips and he has no momentum to go up, ultimately has to give up and take the fall. BUMMER. Back on to complete with a lovely dismount. 13.100 (5.6, 7.500)

10:23 am. Touch underway for the second half!

10:21 am. James Hickey IRL PH: Scissors to circles went well, got a little close as he moved from the horse to the handles, but nothing major, travels in Russians well, minor adjustment before the handstand but gets it up nicely into the dismount. 13.800 (5.3, 8.500)

10:17 am. David Ivanov BUL PH: Lovely scissor to handstand, down to circles on the single handle, then Russians, then moves to both, nicely done. Good push up to the Busnari, a little adjustment, down to flairs, really lovely work! Transitions nicely into the circle but then rushes into the handstand and nooooooo he can’t get it around and ends up slipping and falling right before he means to dismount. Back on to do the dismount sequence again and it’s of course gorgey. 13.400 (6.0, 7.400)

10:14 am. Zeinolla Idrissov KAZ PH: Opening went well, wide-arm work looked strong, circles are going well, single pommel Russians are smooth, one-arm swing into the circles out of it, another good one-arm swing practically right into the handstand into the dismount, quick and smooth there! 14.600 (5.8, 8.800)

10:10 am. Nariman Kurbanov KAZ PH: Scissors to circles, nice transition, Good single pommel work with the circles and intricate Russians, one-arm swing was fluid but then he tucks his legs after a couple of times, saves it both times though, and muscles a bit into the dismount. 14.000 (6.0, 8.000)

10:07 am. Athletes are warming up for pommels!

9:58 am. WOMEN’S VAULT FINAL STANDINGS

1. Karina Schönmaier, Germany, 14.000
2. Lia Monica Fontaine, Canada, 13.983
3. Charlize Mörz, Austria, 13.716
4. Hillary Heron, Panama, 13.449
5. Ruby Stacey, Great Britain, 13.316
6. Athanasia Mesiri, Greece, 13.099
7. Benedetta Gava, Italy, 12.766
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.
