FLOOR EXERCISE FINAL

7:01 am. Martina Bozzola ITA FX: Lovely switch half into the corner before the first pass, a front layout through to 2.5, crossed legs throughout but landed pretty well. Stunning Memmel into a full turn. Split jump full. Clean and stuck double tuck! Landing is a little deep but not bad. Wolf turn fakeout before the beautiful triple wolf turn, obsessed. Switch through to tour jeté half. Noooo, double pike ends up really short, puts her hands down. UGH. Bummer of an ending. 11.766 (5.1, 6.666)

6:58 am. Lucia Piliarova SVK FX: Double tuck, minor knee separation, strong landing. Double full, good form in the air, big step back OOB. Memmel turn was a bit rushed. Switch ring through to switch half, back foot on the ring could be better. Front layout full, little shuffle forward. Split jump full. Good work! 11.966 (4.5, 7.566, -0.1 ND)

6:54 am. Polina Dmitrieva RUS FX: Full-in, form is pretty nice, a little low/deep on the landing with a small hop but not bad! Switch full. Front full through to double tuck, clean, but chest down again and has a little wild bounce on the landing. Stuck the double pike! Switch ring through to switch half, kind of an awkward landing with her feet staggered. Nice hit overall! 13.233 (5.2, 8.033)

Moves her into first place!

6:50 am. Clarissa Rinaldi ITA FX: Her fourth final in three hours! Popa to start. Full-in, some leg form in the air, hop forward. 2.5 with crossed legs into a solid punch front tuck, tiny hop. Leaps looked good in her series, and then I think had a 2.5 wolf turn, and a switch half. Clean double pike, hop back. 12.633 (4.9, 7.733)

6:48 am. Touch at the halfway point!

6:45 am. Aleksandra Andrianova RUS FX: Whip to triple full, crossed legs in the air and a couple of steps back. Switch ring through to tour jeté half, some foot form in the latter. Memmel, little stumble out of it. Double pike, mostly clean in the air, good landing but chest is down. I think had a switch leap after that, then a triple wolf turn. 2.5 with crossed legs, goes crooked into a front pike out of it. Could tighten up her form in the air but a solid set! 12.966 (5.2, 7.766)

6:41 am. Elisabetta Cardelli GBR FX: Double pike, good form in the air, lands a bit forward with a hop back. Switch ring through to tour jeté half, minor form. A bit wild in what I think was supposed to be a double wolf turn, hits the Popa with minor form. 1.5 to front full, some leg form, hop forward. 2.5 with crossed legs, big step forward. 11.866 (4.8, 7.166, -0.1)

6:38 am. Luna Zimmermann GER FX: Whip full through to 2.5, really deep landing with a big stumble back, amazing she kept it on her feet! Switch leap through to tour jeté half into the corner before the front tuck through to double full, not bad! Triple wolf turn is solid. Switch half is clean. Clean double tuck, tiniest bit short but not bad. 11.700 (4.8, 6.900)

6:35 am. Lilou Marliac FRA FX: Gets the double wolf turn around, slow but fine! Tucked full-in, leg form could be cleaner but the landing was pretty solid. Front layout through to double tuck, leg form again, and she bounces forward on the landing, hands down. Switch leap through to tour jeté half. Clean double pike, hop back. Switch half. 11.133 (4.4, 6.733)

6:34 am. Touch warmups should be wrapping up in a sec!

6:30 am. Oop, we’re moving faster this time! Athletes are being introduced for floor now.

6:23 am. Medal ceremony is now underway! I’d say based on the timing for previous finals we have about 20 minutes until floor?

5:14 am. Helena Finc GBR UB: Muscles the first handstand before inbar half to piked Jaeger, clean. Inbar with a slight arch in handstand, connects to Pak, Maloney to Gienger, really clean but too low and she can’t catch, hard fall that seems to knock the wind out of her but she’s okay, just needs a sec.

Inbar half to straddle Jaeger, caught a little close, muscles the cast after, arches over the next handstand ever so slightly, into the toe full, which is slightly rushed but not bad, still easily connects to the full-out dismount, the most minor leg separation in the tuck, baby hop on the landing. 13.900 (6.0, 7.900)
