9:50 am. Daniel Marinov RUS VT: Kas double full, looked really nice in the air, legs super straight and glued, just a big step back on the landing.

9:48 am. Joe Fraser GBR PB: Front pike to handstand, underswing half, gets the 1.5 tuck salto, beautiful pirouettes after that, great on the Healy, double front half with a tiny bounce! 14.200

9:46 am. Mattia Piffaretti SUI VT: Kas 1.5, noticeable knee form in the air and has a big lean forward on the landing that causes him to take a massive lunge. 13.700

Naël Sakouhi FRA FX: 13.733

Kilan van der Aa BEL HB: 13.266

Edoardo De Rosa ITA PB: 12.700

9:43 am. Gabriel Eichhorn GER HB: Tak full was super late, Tak half was great, into the Liukin, leg separation but good flight and catch! I think rotates too slowly on the Kolman, hard fall where his neck/head kinda bounced. He’s fine, though, it seems. Back on for the stalder, hop full, and big flared double double layout dismount with a step. 12.000

9:41 am. Courtney Tulloch GBR PB: Piked double back and double tuck, maybe caught the latter a bit low and had to muscle the handstand out of it, can’t push up and ultimately comes off. Nooooo. Looks like his shoulder is bothering him. Back on for the double front, and then hits the piked double back dismount. 11.866

9:39 am. Arseniy Dukhno RUS VT: Makes the Kas double full look effortless. Minor hip and knee and ankle form in the air, lunge back. 14.300

Leeroy Traore-Malatre FRA FX: 13.500

Noah Kuavita BEL HB: 13.600

9:37 am. Ares Federici ITA PB: Little leg form on the underswing, double back goes well, front pike was REALLY muscled to handstand, Healy out, Diamidov with some noticeable form as well, double front half with some form and a stick. Scrappy routine but a hit I suppose! 12.366

9:35 am. Florian Langenegger SUI VT: Yurchenko 2.5, the knee form being slightly soft is really the only issue in the air, and the landing is super solid, small hop back. 14.066

Benedek Tomcsanyi HUN FX: 13.3

9:33 am. Jonas Rushworth GBR PB: Hit the opening, arched over halfway in the Makuts but fought through it, then had a big arch over and leg form break on the underswing to handstand, ugh. Gets the Bhavsar, little adjustment in the press handstand, think he had a full-in double back dismount, a little short. 13.333

Victor Martinez BEL HB: 11.533

9:31 am. Mukhammadzhon Yakubov RUS VT: Crashes the Dragulescu. Just comes down way too low, lands in a lil ball with his hands dropping to the mat. 12.700

9:29 am. Yumin Abbadini ITA PB: Front pike to handstand, slightly muscled, Diamidov, to the Diamidov 1/4 to the kip cast handstand, always love that, Stutz, double pike with a hop back. 13.066

9:28 am. Noe Seifert SUI VT: Yurchenko double full, clean and stuck! Yessss, simple run obviously but that was great. 13.966

9:17 am. Ilya Zaika RUS SR: Gorgeous inverted cross, down to iron cross, down to hang, perfection, front giant to another inverted cross, saltos to a stunning handstand, rolls through to maltese, then through to planche, minor adjustments there, back giant to handstand, barely moving, whips the full-twisting double layout around a bit but gets the landing super well!

9:15 am. Krisztofer Meszaros HUN HB: Tak half was a bit short, good Kovacs, gets the Kolman as well, just some leg separation in both, layout Tkachev, straddle Tkachev, stalder was a bit shy of handstand, hop full, and a clean double double layout dismount with a hop back. 13.300

Matteo Giubellini SUI SR: 12.866

9:10 am. Daniel Marinov RUS SR: Roll to maltese, inverted pike up to maltese, front pike up to pike sit into saltos up to handstand, comes up way too short and falls out of it, oh no. Small hop on the double double dismount. 12.866

9:07 am. Benedek Tomcsanyi HUN HB: Zou Li Min to start finished well, Tak half was a bit weak with leg separation, oh his release timing on the straddle Tkachev is wild, he’s really low and barely clears the bar, doesn’t even try to reach for it. Does it brilliantly a second time. Tak, double double layout with a great landing, this woud’ve been so nice without that freak mistake.

9:05 am. Noe Seifert SUI SR: Roll to cross, hang to pike sit pressed to handstand, clean. Front saltos to handstand, slightly shaky, gets the double double with a step back. 12.933
