6:19 am. Okay I’m sorry this stream is KILLING ME. I tried lol. I might go back and watch it at some point but I need sleep! For now I’m just going to include the standings. 

SUBDIVISION 4 | ROTATION 2

6:17 pm. Adam Cogat ALG FX: Piked and tucked double fronts were both hit. Small hop on the double pike. Double tuck to finish.

6:16 pm. Kameron Nelson USA PB: First handstand was nice, pike to handstand arched over a bit, Stutz, short on the hanstand after, pike sit, press to handstand, double front dismount with a hop back.

It is INSUFFERABLE watching qualifications with the single stream rather than the six apparatus streams. Never again! I’m about to give up.

6:11 pm. Doi Ryosuke JPN SR: Maltese, my stream stopped working and then started again at the saltos to handstand, lots of swing there, double double dismount with a hop back.

Fred Richard USA PB: Kinda sat the Tippelt on the bars? Hop on the double front. That’s all they showed!

6:09 pm. Oka Shinnosuke JPN SR: Maltese, pull through to maltese, swing through to planche, back giant to handstand, a little iffy, front pike saltos to handstand look better, double-twisting double layout dismount, great landing!

6:02 pm. Illia Kovtun CRO FX: Front double full to double front is solid. Very nice randi as well! Looked stuck. High 2.5 to front layout down the side. 3.5 with only the most minor ankle form and a tiny step. Arabian double front half to finish.

I just got like 15 ads in the middle of this so I’m gonna scream.

6:00 pm. James Hardy AUS HB: Jumped into this late but saw he had a layout Tkachev and a big leap out of his dismount.

5:56 pm. Moving to the second rotation!!

SUBDIVISION 4 | ROTATION 1

5:54 pm. Adam Cogat ALG HB: Tak full was a bit wonky, Tak half was better, Kovacs, Rybalko, ended a bit late, hop full, stalder, full-twisting double layout with a hop.

5:51 pm. Didn’t get to see any of Australia but they started on p-bars, had to count a bunch of lower-than-expected scores, though Jesse Moore seems he did well with a 13.533.

I think Japan counted all hits, and the U.S. vault rotation was great. Illia Kovtun started on high bar where he had a 13.733.

Suphacheep Baobenmad THA HB: Caught a Tkachev, toe-on to stalder, double-twisting double layout dismount was stuck!

5:49 pm. Jake Jarman GBR FX: Triple double layout, makes it look simple. 2.5 to double front, deep with a small hop back. 3.5 down the side, big step forward OOB. Triple double. Ugh, he’s so good. Triple full down the side, tiny bounce. Double double with a hop back. King.

5:48 pm. Doi Ryosuke JPN PH: Had LOTS of leg form breaks throughout, like a shocking amount, but made it through!

5:46 pm. Harry Hepworth TBR FX: Double-twisting double layout, front double full to double front with a big lunge forward, 3.5 down the side, casual, had a skid on the triple double landing, triple full down the side with some leg form, sticks the double double at the end. Mostly great but lots of little things will eat away at that score!

5:45 pm. Hashimoto Daiki JPN PH: Nevermind, they started showing him then cut away lol.

Kameron Nelson USA VT: Kas double full was really nice!

5:43 pm. Oka Shinnosuke JPN PH: Scissors to circles, flairs all nice, they cut out before the routine ended but it looked great to me.

5:42 pm. Danila Leykin USA VT: Goooorgeous Yurchenko 2.5! Legs are glued and a great landing. 14.066

5:41 pm. Joe Fraser GBR FX: Okay why did they cut to him for half a second and then cut away? I’m already annoyed and miss my six streams. 2.5 to front layout and arabian double front half were the last couple of passes. 

5:39 pm. Touch warmups have lasted forever. LET’S GOOOO.

5:36 pm. I’ve had one million ads on Eurovision Sport but should be starting soon.

Okay, yes, the stream has finally moved to touch warmups. I have a vague idea of what happened with the USA flopping but that’s about it so I’m excited.

5:32 pm. Okay, I’ve rehearsed, I have a sandwich, I’m HOME, I’m going to not-so-live blog the fourth subdivision now!

Watching the stream that has all events rather than the six individual streams because it’s a pain in the ass to get them all to the same start time. I’m also VERY tired! I don’t think I would survive trying to watch six routines at a time.

12:12 pm. The fourth subdivision – the last we’ll see today – begins at 6:10 pm local time, which is like right now.

I have a rehearsal that starts at 2 pm and have to leave in a minute, so I’m unfortunately not going to live blog, which is a DAMN SHAME because it’s THE most exciting subdivision featuring THREE podium contenders in Japan, the United States, and Great Britain, while Australia will also be there hoping to put up a fight to make the team final.

I’ll be home around 5 pm ET so will probably not-so-live blog then! Hoping Eurovision Sport has the replays up.

SUBDIVISION 3 | ROTATION 1

6:06 am. The second subdivision should start in a few minutes! I think 6:10 am is the official start time.

Teams in this subdivision include Cyprus, Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine, of which I expect Russia to make the team final but I don’t think any of the others have much of a shot? South Korea and Ukraine normally but just not this year for various reasons, notably Ryu Sunghyun now missing the competition for KOR which will leave them short on several events, and Ukraine’s ranks are kind of depleted.

Patrick Sampaio BRA PB: Had a leg form break out of an underswing to handstand, quick through the Makuts, double pike dismount.

René Cournoyer CAN FX: Hit the double front then I think 2.5 to front layout? A little short on the double double. Full-in to finish.

Anthony Mansard FRA VT: Kas 1.5 with a hop to the side. 

Chiou Min-Han TWN PH: Another fall for them so they’ll be counting one sadly!

4:10 am. Leeroy Traore-Malatre FRA VT: Kas 1.5, pushed forward hard on the landing, big hop forward.

Hung Yuan-Hsi TWN PH: Scissors to handstand, a little short, to scissors, lost his rhythm while backwards traveling and came off.

Xavier Olasz CAN FX: Nice double layout and piked double front. Double full down the side. Got the 2.5 to front layout. Think he had a full-in to finish.

Sebastian Sponevik NOR HB: Kolman was a little messy but caught, got the straddle Tkachev, stalder, triple back with a hop. Good!

4:08 am. Sam Zakutney CAN FX: Piked double front, solid landing. Good double front. Hit a side pass and the next pass as well, then a front full down the side. Double pike to finish, minor leg form.

Tang Chia-Hung TWN PH: Scissor work looked good. Had some leg form breaks as he traveled but overall a hit routine!

Arthur Mariano BRA PB: Hit routine!

Peder Skogvang NOR HB: Believe he had a fall, I only saw him remounting halfway through. Triple back dismount was good!

4:06 am. Touch warmups should be wrapping up shortly.

4:04 am. I have every single individual event feed open so we’ll see how this goes for me lol. It’ll be busy, though, so I likely won’t be able to grab scores until we’re between rotations unless they show them on the screen? Will try to focus on the teams but also of course going to try to catch key individuals slash as many individuals as I can possibly see. No offense to rings but if I decide to not lock in on one apparatus to make it easier for myself, it’ll be rings lol.

4:02 am. Athletes are being introduced now!

3:56 am. Good morning! Up bright and early to cover the first day of MAG qualifications in Rotterdam! The first subdivision begins at 4 am my time so I’m still waiting for the streams to kick off. 

Subdivision 1 includes Brazil, Canada, France, and Taiwan among the teams, as well as all-arounders from Czechia, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Morocco, and Norway.

Among these, I think Canada has the best shot at making the team final, but France could also get close if they have a good day. Taiwan scares me a bit so I don’t see it happening for them, but I feel like they could also surprise us? I’m just nervous that without Chuang Chia-Lung it’ll be difficult.
