9:46 am. Jorman Alvarez COL PB: Gets through the Makuts well, single rail transition with a pirouette out, very nice, rushed another single transition after that but went into the Tippelt well, got the Bhavsar but may have hit the bar? Does the full-twisting double tuck off the front of the bars, very Colombia of him.

9:40 am. Athletes are being introduced for the parallel bars final now!

9:32 am. BALANCE BEAM FINAL STANDINGS

7. Ceren Biner, Türkiye, 11.600

9:27 am. Manila Esposito ITA BB: Bhs mount to loso to bhs, goes really crooked and has a big wobble but somehow saves it! Switch to split jump half to bhs I think was the next combo, really lovely leaps. Front aerial to split jump. Side aerial, chest down. Wolf turn goes well. Hits the double pike dismount. 13.666 (5.6, 8.066)

9:23 am. Vanesa Masova CZE BB: Lovely extension on the switch mount to switch half. Bhs loso also so nice. Got the double wolf turn and a nice front aerial, then dances right out of it, god she is gorgey!! Switch leap, wobble. Split jump to wolf jump. Side somi. Stuck front layout full dismount!! 13.033 (5.1, 7.933)

9:19 am. Ceren Biner TUR BB: Off on her back pike mount, noooo. Side walkover to bhs form was a bit wild but gets it around and then also hits her jump series. Front aerial, split jump full, cross straight jump full, all pretty good. Wobbly in her double wolf turn. Double pike, chest down and a hop forward. 11.600 (5.3, 6.300)

9:15 am. Ruby Stacey GBR BB: Switch leap mount. Double wolf turn, not bad. Side aerial loso, minor form but solid on the landing. Front aerial, switch leap, I think meant to connect out of both of those but was a bit hesitant, split jump to sissone was nice. Really cowboyed on the double tuck dismount but lands it well! 13.066 (5.2, 7.866)

9:13 am. Touch for the second half underway!

9:10 am. Pauline Schäfer GER BB: Switch leap mount to split leap, a little rushed but still controlled! Steady bhs loso. Side aerial. Off on a switch ring, ugh. Wobbled out of the double turn but brings back the control. Off again on her eponymous side somi half, nooooo. Front aerial to split jump to stag ring jump, nice. Gainer off the end. 11.166 (5.2, 6.066, -0.1 ND)

9:05 am. Zala Trtnik SLO BB: Back dive mount. Really smooth triple wolf turn! Switch leap, looks like she wants to connect but then stops herself. Side aerial loso, lovely! Front aerial. Split jump to sissone. She’s clean on basically everything so far. 1.5 dismount with a hop forward. 12.866 (5.0, 7.866)

9:01 am. Elena Colas FRA BB: Hit the switch leap mount. Front handspring to front tuck, low and looks like she grabs the beam maybe? Or touches it. Stays on though! Double wolf turn. Nails the bhs loso loso. Switch to split jump half, short on the latter. Front aerial to split jump to straddle jump, straddle was also a bit shy of where it should be. Side aerial with a slight hip check. Double pike, small hop back. 13.233 (5.7, 7.533)

Oop, looks like an inquiry for Colas to push her ahead of Tian – D score was changed to a 5.9 and she now has a 13.433 (5.9, 7.533).

8:56 am. Tian Zhuofan CHN BB: Lovely front walkover mount to a split ring jump to Korbut. Stumble on the roundoff layout and she falls. Ugh. Front aerial to split jump to back handspring was so nice. Clean full turn. Switch ring to back handspring to straddle jump to sissone, LORD WHY DID SHE FALL. Cross split jump half to back loop. Small hop on the double pike, chest a little low as well. I’m so obsessed with this routine. 13.266 (6.5, 6.766)

8:50 am. Starting the WAG beam final shortly!

8:46 am. MEN’S VAULT FINAL STANDINGS

1. Harry Hepworth, Great Britain, 14.616
2. Artur Davtyan, Armenia, 14.583
3. Nazar Chepurnyi, Ukraine, 14.583
4. Kameron Nelson, United States, 14.183
5. Aleksei Usachev, Russia, 14.149
6. Luke Whitehouse, Great Britain, 14.083
7. Pau Jimenez, Spain, 13.799
8. Jonas Danek, Czechia, 13.699

8:40 am. Kameron Nelson USA VT: Handspring randi, crossed ankles throughout the entirety of this, rotation is slightly off so he ends up the tiniest big short both in that sense and in his body position, chest down a bit, little hop. 14.366 (5.2, 9.166)

Handspring double front was fabulous! Tiny hop forward but so nice overall. Some girlies in the crowd are absolutely SCREECHING. 14.000 (4.8, 9.200)

Averages a 14.183 to move into fourth place.

8:37 am. Luke Whitehouse GBR VT: Dragulescu, looked pretty good to me for the most part, the usual knee form, lands a bit short with his chest down and a step forward. 14.133 (5.2, 8.933)

Ooooh, sticks the Kas 1.5! Big leg separation on and off the horse, but he tightens up until the landing, some more leg form there, looked stuck to me, but maaaaaybe moves one foot slightly. Yeah, they didn’t give him the bonus. 14.033 (4.8, 9.233)

Averages a 14.083.

8:34 am. Pau Jimenez ESP VT: My stream got wonky and glitchy, I THINK I saw a Kas 1.5 in the replay but I couldn’t lock in on his form. 13.833 (4.8, 9.033)

Next up is a handspring double front, really pushes it around to get his landing position correct, maybe overdoes it slightly, takes a sizeable step forward. 13.766 (4.8, 8.966)

Averages a 13.799

8:31 am. Nazar Chepurnyi UKR VT: Beautiful Dragulescu!!! I think his was the best in the air so far, and his landing is fab, so upright, and takes the babiest of baby hops back. 14.566 (5.2, 9.366)

Second vault is a Kas double full, SO tight in the air, minor ankle separation at the very end, doesn’t get a TON of distance here and lands with his chest at his knees and a little step. 14.600 (5.2, 9.400)

Averages a 14.583 to tie Davtyan but the tie-break puts him in third!

8:28 am. Touch for the second half!

8:24 am. Harry Hepworth GBR VT: Piked Dragulescu, the stream jumped into it really fast and didn’t show us any replays so I couldn’t really see it but it looked hit, Croatia is anti Harry, start the rumor! 14.733 (5.6, 9.133)

Handspring randi for HIS second vault as well, mostly strong in the air, minor soft knees, little bounce on the landing. 14.500 (5.2, 9.300)

Averages a 14.616 to move ahead of Davtyan!

8:21 am. Artur Davtyan ARM VT: Sticks a Dragulescu OF COURSE. Why wouldn’t he???? Some open legs in the air and his chest is low but not severely. What a diva. 14.766 (5.2, 9.466, +0.1 B)

Handspring randi, really nice in the air, hop back and a little balance check, but gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. 14.400 (5.2, 9.200)

Averages a 14.583.

8:18 am. Aleksei Usachev RUS VT: Handspring randi, huge power, some minor leg separation throughout and has a big step and slide back. 14.233 (5.2, 9.033)

Next up is a Dragulescu, leg separation in the air but not more than you normally see on this vault, chest is really low on the landing and he has to hop forward. 14.066 (5.2, 8.866)

Averages a 14.149.

8:15 am. Jonas Danek CZE VT: Yurchenko 2.5, pretty lovely! Some soft elbows on the block and knees for a second in the air, lands with a step forward and then some little baby steps to steady himself. 13.866 (4.8, 9.066)

Second vault is a Kas 1.5, I think this was a little nicer in the air, but lands a bit short and has to take a hop back and to the side, goes OOB. 13.533 (4.8, 8.833, -0.1 ND)

Averages a 13.699.

8:12 am. Touch warmups are underway!

8:06 am. Ohhhhh Danusia Francis doing commentary today! Yay!

Things are just getting started in the arena so I’d imagine it’ll be another 5-10 minutes before the men’s vault action starts.
