ROTATION 6

4:36 pm. Hashimoto Daiki JPN HB: Tak full, Tak half to Kolman, nice. Big Cassina, Liukin to Endo, hop full, double double layout STUCK! I think that will do it!

Omg, yes, it absolutely does – 14.866!

4:34 pm. Arseniy Dukhno RUS FX: Opened with a double-twisting double layout IIRC? Then front double full to double front, goes really high out of the twists but still gets the double front to his feet. Double double down the side. Front full to randi. Small hop back on the last pass. 14.500!

4:32 pm. Jake Jarman GBR HB: Tak half, layout Tkachev, straddle Tkachev, blind change to Tak, lots of front giants before the Endo, seems unnecessary but go off king, double double layout dismount goes low and long, just a small hop though! 13.233

4:31 pm. Tian Hao CHN FX: I saw the first two passes but forgot what they were immediately, both hit as was the side pass, then I think he did a 2.5 to front layout? Okay I’m all caught up. Tucked full-in with a hop back. 13.700

Elijah Faverus NED SR: 13.166

4:28 pm. Maeda Fusuke JPN HB: Zou Li Min, I think piked Gaylord II?? I’m blanking on the name rn I’m so nervous, lovely Cassina to Kolman, blind change to Tak full, Tak half, both a little short but not bad, full-twisting double layout, a little deep with a hop. 14.333

4:26 pm. Daniel Marinov RUS FX: Full-twisting double layout goes low and long but he gets the landing. Front double full to double front with a hop. Front full to piked double front, large step forward. 2.5 down the side. Stuck the double pike at the end. 14.100

Patrick Hoopes USA PH: 14.833

Angel Barajas COL SR: 13.100

4:24 pm. Joe Fraser GBR HB: Tak half to Kolman, good! Took extra swings before the Cassina, rotation is still way off, falls. Back on for layout Tkachev to straddle Tkachev, Zou Li Min, has an awkward transition back to regular grip, sticks the double double layout, well, kinda cheats the stick into the salute. 12.000

Casimir Schmidt NED SR: 12.633

4:21 pm. Li Hongyan CHN FX: Front full to piked double front, step forward. Nice 2.5 to front double full! Little skid on the landing. Punch randi down the side, a bit deep. A little short on the double double as well. Double pike to finish, big slide into a lunge. 13.533

Fred Richard USA PH: Think this was a miss based on the score. 12.866

4:19 pm. Kawakami Shohei JPN HB: Tak half to Kolman, minor form, good Cassina, a bit messy on the Rybalko and then falls on the release after. Back on for a nice Tak full, deep double double layout dismount, doesn’t move his feet but wobbles a bit. 13.100

Florian Langenegger SUI PH: 14.000

Camilo Vera COL SR: 13.100

4:17 pm. Sergei Naidin RUS FX: ront double full to double front, little bounce. Double double, hop back. Hit the side pass. Sticks the 2.5 to front layout. Double pike, REALLY short, stumbles forward, don’t think he put his hands down though. Nope, you can see in the replay he puts a single hand down. 12.733

Amine Abaidi NED SR: 12.500

4:15 pm. Reuben Ward GBR HB: Tak half, catches the Liukin, straddle Tkachev to Geinger to Endo half, stalder, double double layout, small hop. YEEEEEES. 13.500!

1:42 pm. God I hate Peacock broadcasts so much, give me my multiple chaotic individual apparatus streams! We’re of course watching an ad while Hashimoto Daiki is on floor. I think they’re waiting for Shane Wiskus to go up on rings because Murica.

Based on live scores, the comp should be starting now.

1:35 pm. Touch warmups should begin shortly! The final groups of athletes are walking in now.

1:32 pm. Athletes are being introduced now!

If you missed qualifications, I did a quick recap after they finished so you can catch up before today’s competition.

1:26 pm. The team final will begin in about four minutes!

I’m watching on Peacock, which definitely will not show every routine, but I’ll try to share scores for routines that we don’t see.

Full disclosure that I am also working my day job so might need to step away from time to time but I’m also excited to see how good I am at multitasking.

Let’s gooooooooo!
