POMMEL HORSE & WAG VAULT FINAL

5:46 pm. Jaycko Bourdet GUA PH: Scissors to circles go well, Some single handle work, legs come pretty far apart on the Russians on the pommel, but pulls it together and gets his rhythm back until he starts moving down the horse, loses his leg form again and comes off this time. Back on to travel, solid there, dismount had to be slightly rushed at the end but was nice overall!

5:43 pm. Touch warmups are underway!

5:40 pm. Athletes are being introduced for vault and pommel horse!

I have to bounce at 6:15 pm but thankfully should be able to see most of this final, though possibly not all.

5:35 pm. I think the next final is supposed to start at 5:45 pm, not sure if they’ll wait the 10 minutes or just go for it now but check back soon!

MAG FLOOR FINAL

5:30 pm. Jorge Vega GUA FX: Front full to piked double front, excellent! Hop forward but overall strong. Double double layout, STUCK, OKAY??? 2.5 to front layout down the side. Full-in double layout, great landing. Floated the double layout at the end. THIS WAS A SLAAAAAAY!!!! 14.200 (5.7, 8.500)

5:27 pm. Diorges Escobar CUB FX: Front full to double front is strong! Double double up next, biiiiig bounce back out of that landing. 2.5 down the side, some leg form and a hop forward. Front double full to front layout, tiny bounce. Full-in, slips on the landing and almost catches himself but ends up putting his hands down sadly! 11.900 (5.0, 6.900)

5:25 pm. Isaac Nuñez MEX FX: Front full to double front, noticeably cowboyed. Arabian double front form was nice though! Double full down the side, tried to hold the stick but wobbled a bit and jumped back. 2.5 to front layout, big hop forward. Clean double pike, another ALMOST stick, but he’s a little too far forward on his toes and hops. 13.150 (4.9, 8.25)

5:22 pm. Francisco Velez PUR FX: Powerful piked double front and then also tucked double front, sticks the double full down the side with his chest a bit forward. 2.5 to front layout, a little arched in the latter, hop forward. Kinda nice arabesque scale! Solid double layout to finish, minor form in the air. 13.150 (4.9, 8.250)

5:20 pm. Touch for the second half is underway!

5:17 pm. Camilo Vera COL FX: Double double layout, a bit deep but holds onto the landing. Front double full to double front, big hop forward, CASUAL. Punch randi down the side. Good 2.5 to front layout. Ends with a double double. Needs a BIT more control but appreciate the difficulty and he’s so fun to watch. 13.750 (5.7, 8.050)

5:14 pm. Jose Lopez PUR FX: Front layout to piked double front, nice air! Hop forward. Front full to double front, also REALLY strong. 2.5 down the side with a little bounce on the landing. Arabian double front and then a VERY clean double pike, big and kind of wild bounce back, though a fab routine overall. 13.200 (5.1, 8.100)

5:11 pm. Jaycko Bourdet GUA FX: Set out of the front full didn’t give him enough lift for the double front, which he sits. Gets the piked double front after, though, and then a clean, stuck double full down the side. Nice on the 2.5 to front layout. Strong double layout at the end, minor form and a hop back. 12.350 (5.0, 7.350)

5:08 pm. Thomas Mejia COL FX: Front full to double front, a little short but hops it and is fine. Ugh, hands down on the full-twisting double layout after though. Double full down the side was solid. 2.5 to front layout, not bad, and then the double layout ends up slightly short but otherwise is nice, just has to hop forward. 12.100 (5.2, 6.900)

5:06 pm. Touch warmups are underway!

5:04 pm. Okayyyy it’s happening! I’m the Judge Judy tapping her watch gif right now.

4:59 pm. Athletes should be introduced shortly!

4:56 pm. The action should start with the MAG floor final in about five minutes! I’m watching on the Centro Caribe Sports Channel on YouTube, which should be accessible to anyone without access to Claro Sports. Live scores are here.

I overbooked myself as per usual and have a birthday party at 7 pm so I think I’m only going to get the first three finals, but am planning on pausing and then watching uneven bars and rings when I return. 🙂
