2:45 pm. Amia Pugh-Banks BB: Ugh I typed all of this out and then the internet was like “you lost connection” and deleted it all right before it saved. Most important is that the switch to switch side was really slow and then she came off on the switch side. The rest was hit. 11.400

2:04 pm. Clare Ekart UB: Stalder to stalder full, nice! Slightly rushed at the end of the latter. Van Leeuwen with some leg form, toe half to straddle Jaeger, clean Pak but went a bit to far and she can’t catch, has to take an extra swing. Toe shoot was dead hangy. Clean stuck double tuck. 11.550

1:59 pm. Touch for the first rotation should be wrapping up shortly!

1:50 pm. Athletes are being introduced now!

1:42 pm. Things are wrapping up here! Gonna run and stretch my legs before they get into the intros and everything. Competition should start at 2 pm ET, so in like 18 minutes.

1:40 pm. Chrysette Diggs has been a little iffy with her Yurchenko full from what I’ve seen, going up again now…yeah, her leg form off the table just needs to tighten up quite a bit, but she got it around pretty well on this attempt at least! 12.750

Ansley Stevens on bars with a good blind full and double pike dismount.

1:39 pm. Eva Doherty just WAAAAAY overshot her Pak, caught it at like her hips. She was also struggling with the inbar to stalder series and van Leeuwen earlier. Stalder half to straddle Jaeger was low in the release but caught. Whippy full-twisting double layout with a deep landing. Kind of a scrappy set but good skills in there if she can get them under control.

1:37 pm. Every time I look at vault it’s a timer, except right now, I think Gianna Arthur with a clean Yurchenko full.

Saide Drake missed her Ricna on bars but it was pretty in the air! Then Claire Ekart missed a van Leeuwen. Super clean double tuck thoguh.

Clean Yurchenko full from Brooklyn Klauser.

1:33 pm. Keep seeing double tucks on floor but they’re pretty so yay.

Anslee McCauley on bars with a nice straddle Jaeger and double layout.

Couldn’t see who from Pacific Reign was just on floor but great 2.5 to front tuck.

Amia Pugh-Banks on bars now, good van Leeuwen to blind change to straddle Jaeger, missed the Ray release after.

1:30 pm. Moving into the final rotation!

1:23 pm. Trying to see Pacific Reign on beam but I can’t see who’s who from here. Will let y’all know if I spot anything notable but can’t guarantee I’ll know who it is lol. Like, someone just did a lovely aerial to jump series and Korbut! Slay queen.

Most events once again basially done except bars.

Amariah Moore on bars now, missing her Maloney lift and catch. I think she got low key injured on beam yesterday and is only doing bars here today, but is qualified to nationals already so nbd. Got the Maloney on the second attempt by bending her knees.

1:19 pm. Sydney Williams on bars, lovely stalder full, clean Maloney to super clean Pak, van Leeuwen with some flexed feet, great handstand before the blind change to Endo, muscled through that but got it to the straddle Jaeger, dismounts with a full-in, some leg form and to her knees but overall such a nice set.

1:16 pm. Good 2.5 to front tuck on floor just now. Paisley Ritger maybe? There are two gals in blue in that rotation with blonde-ish hair and I can’t see their faces from here. Making guesses.

Front layout through to double tuck from Chrysette Diggs on floor, nice.

Amia Pugh-Banks warming up vault with big clean Yurchenko fulls.

I think Bailynn Kasprzak  on bars right now, had a really aggressive swing and a strong double layout dismount.

1:15 pm. Moving into the third rotation!

1:14 pm. Audrey VanGrinsven on bars with a blind full to BIG Tkachev, woo, she got it this time! Straddle back, toe-on to toe shoot, also much better, great handstand before the giants to the double layout dismount, what a difference this was compared to like five minutes ago.

Every other event is done, just like 40 seconds left in this rotation.

1:07 pm. Someone on vault just had the wildest Yurchenko full technique, idk how she got it around. Or how to explain it. I fear it might’ve been my girl Sydney Williams (low key my fave of the juniors right now, I just like her extension on leaps and her lovely bars!).

I think someone in that vault group had a Yurchenko double full but not sure whomst.

Audrey VanGrinsven struggling a little on bars, missed a release and dead-hanged on the toe shoot, hopefully will fix for the comp.

Her sis is back up looking lovely, form on the Maloney to Gienger was textbook this time! Legs glued. Small step on the double layout dismount.

Annabel Melnyk with a nice stalder to Maloney to Pak, Pak had big leg sep but the connection as a whole was nice. Clean van Leeuwen mostly, just flexed feet.

1:05 pm. Addalye VanGrinsven on bars with a straddle Jaeger, clear hip to Pak (some leg form), toe-on to Maloney to Gienger, leg separation there, blind full, double layout, so good right off the bat!

1:02 pm. Beautiful and powerful full-in from Amia Pugh-Banks on floor to start her workout there. Then a double pike. Lots of double tucks from others, ooh, and a back full through to double tuck from Eva Doherty.

Bars still going skill by skill so nothing super exciting there yet. And vault still lots of timers.

12:59 pm. Moving on to the second rotation!

12:53 pm. I as usual have no idea what’s happening on beam.

Nice piked Jaeger from Madelyn Eagle on bars just now! Double pike dismount.

Amia Pugh-Banks on beam now, struggling a bit with her acro series.

Vault is done, so fast over there. Floor also done!

12:48 pm. Cassie Tan working a great Yurchenko 1.5 on vault! Followed by Addalye VanGrinsven with an EXCELLENT Yurchenko 1.5, she looks fab.

WOGA warming up bars, good stalder work from Chrysette Diigs, also a nice Maloney to Pak, a little messy in the van Leeuwen, stalder to double tuck, really nice.

Nice 2.5 from Sydney Williams on floor! Then a front layout to front full.

12:45 pm. Just kicked off the first rotation for training after the general stretch! The athletes get 15 minutes per session. Going to try add anything notable here.
