12:10 pm. Claire Pease USA FX: Double-twisting double layout, some form in the air and slightly short on the landing but not bad! Double double, step back OOB. Switch ring to switch half. 1.5 to rudi with a good landing. Triple wolf turn. 2.5 with some crossed legs but a strong landing. 13.866 (6.1, 7.866, -0.1 ND)

12:06 pm. Maïana Prat FRA FX: Double L turn. 1.5 through to clean double tuck but she has a bit of a stumble on the landing. Switch ring through to ring leap full, ehhh. It is what it is lol. We also had THE worst possible angle for it on this stream. Front full to front full, tiny hop. Split ring half, also had a very bad front angle so hard to see how it looked. 2.5 was slightly deep with a little hop. Double wolf turn. Lovely work overall! 13.466 (5.6, 7.866)

That moves her into second, beating Martin on the tie break!

12:02 pm. Reese Esponda USA FX: Oh she’s serving serious face at the start. Strong double double, hop back. Whip to double layout, small hop back. Triple wolf turn. Front tuck through to double tuck, big bounce on that landing. Tour jeté half through to switch half. Double pike, hop back. Popa to finish. 13.566 (6.0, 7.566)

That moves her into the lead by a tenth! She has secured a medal with two to go.

11:58 am. Lyudmila Roshchina RUS FX: Double layout, a little deep with a small hop. 2.5 with crossed ankles, super low into the barani out, has some rough form in the barani as well to compensate for the lack of height. Switch ring through to switch half, nice extension on the latter. Clean double full. Triple wolf turn. Double pike with a lunge back. 13.100 (5.6, 7.500)

11:56 am. Touch for the second half!

11:53 am. Lia Redick CAN FX: 2.5 with some crossed legs in the air and a very low punch out into the tucked barani, squeaks it around. Whip full through to double pike, clean, small hop back. Switch leap through to tour jeté half, little bounce on the landing. Double wolf turn. Double tuck is super clean in the air, small hop. Good on the split jump full I think. She’s so lovely and I appreciate her low ballet bun so much. 13.300 (5.4, 7.900)

11:49 am. Lia Monica Fontaine CAN FX: Double double with a lunge back. Double L turn to full turn. Strong double layout, some leg separation, tiny bounce back. Triple spin to full spin. Switch leap through to switch half, pretty solid. Smooth triple wolf turn with a lil smile at the end. Front tuck through to double tuck, solid! This was great overall. 13.200 (5.4, 7.800)

11:45 am. Abigail Martin GBR FX: Full-twisting double layout is strong, minor form in the air, small hop back. Popa. Double layout is mostly stretched in the air, but lands a bit short. Not severe though. First leap in her series looked a little awkward but think the switch half was fine. Front full through to double tuck, chest down but feet are solid. 13.466 (5.8, 7.666)

11:41 am. Alice Kinsella GBR FX: I jumped in slightly late, but saw the 1.5 through to double tuck, which I think is her first pass! It looked good, as did the 2.5 to front pike. Double wolf turn. Tour jeté half to switch half. Solid landing on the double pike. Queen! 12.966 (5.1, 7.866)

Very nice routine!

11:23 am. Arseniy Dukhno RUS PB: Lovely front pike to handstand with a half turn, Makuts was clean but a little rushed and he had a pike going into the handstand which will be a bit of a rough deduction, good pirouette work after, leg separation on the underswing to handstand, stuck the full-in double tuck! The dismount was gorgeous, chest a little forward but so nice in the air. 14.100 (5.6, 8.400, +0.1 SB)

11:20 am. Illia Kovtun CRO PB: Half turn to start, holds the handstand forever, Makuts with a half turn out, underswing half, then underswing to single rail, Healy out, Stutz with a slight adjustment, next Makuts goes well but then a half turn with some adjustments, double front with a tiny bounce.

CASUAL. This was insane.

11:04 am. Daniel Marinov RUS PB: Underswing full, clean Tippelt, Bhavsar with strong air time, 1.5 pirouette almost right into the full-twisting double tuck dismount, deep landing with a tiny step. 14.866 (5.9, 8.966)

11:00 am. David Rumbutis SWE PB: Front pike to handstand was lovely, slight arch on the single rail in the Makuts, double back went well, walks forward out of the next handstand and then was short on the one after, ugh, Diamidov went well, dobule front half stuck! Unfortunately those two handstands at the end will hurt him but he was such a long shot for a medal. 13.866 (5.4, 8.366, +0.1 SB)

10:28 am. Zhang Qingying CHN BB: Switch mount to switch half to Korbut, fab. Roundoff layout is super solid. Switch ring to bhs. She’s crushing it so far. Switch side, doesn’t connect to the cross straddle jump but DOES connect THAT to the back loop. Switch leap to split jump half to straddle 3/4. Full turn. Double pike, lunge back. Well, this was EXCELLENT.

10:23 am. Flavia Saraiva BRA BB: Oh I’m nervous for this. I need her to finally make it happen. Back handspring mount, tiny hesitation, split jump to Korbut. Switch half is great. Bhs loso loso, strong. Switch ring. Front aerial to split ring jump to bhs, excellent. Side somi, medium break at the hips. Full turn. Hit the leap series at the end. Feet slipped on the double pike but she gets it around!! FLAVIAAAAA!!! 14.300 (6.1, 8.200)

SHE IS IN SECOND. SHE IS SECURE FOR A MEDAL ON BEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Front aerial to split ring jump to bhs is gorgeous. Side aerial to split jump. Switch ring, little hop. Full turn. Clean but deep double pike. She’s happy to get through that! But I don’t think she can get into the top three… 13.633 (6.1, 7.533)

10:15 am. Elena Colas FRA BB: Hit the switch mount to switch to straddle well, and then nailed the flight series. Shaky landing on the wolf turn.

10:13 am. Touch for the second half now!

10:10 am. Okamura Mana JPN BB: Looked crooked into the loso mount, break at the hips when she lands it but I’m honestly shocked she didn’t fall! Also had a wobble on the leap after, I didn’t see what it was. Triple wolf turn. Side aerial loso, also crooked, falls. Well, she’s been kinda off this whole routine so far I fear. Front aerial to split jump to straddle jump was great. Switch ring. Wobble on the split ring jump. Hit the 2.5 dismount. 12.666 (5.9, 6.766)

10:05 am. Manila Esposito ITA BB: Bhs mount into the loso to bhs, solid. Switch leap is fabulous, oversplit, to split jump half to bhs. Front aerial, slight wobble. Side aerial, another check there. Tiny check on the triple wolf turn. Valdez, lovely. Double pike, hop back. Mostly great set, but those few small issues could hurt her if everyone else is on the money today. 14.066 (5.8, 8.266)

10:00 am. Skye Blakely USA BB: Lovely work on her mount sequence. Super smooth triple wolf turn. Big wobble on the standing full but she smiles through it and fixes it.

9:56 am. Kaylia Némour ALG BB: Layout stepout mount into the next two layout stepouts, absolutely not even a moment’s hesitation in either. Also hit the layout series to split jump. Strong side aerial. Switch leap, pauses before the switch half, ALMOST a little short in her hip position but like by a hair, to straddle jump. Front aerial to straddle jump to Korbut. Double wolf turn good. Hit the double pike with a tiny bounce. WELL. WOW. OKAY. 14.566 (6.3, 8.266)

This is Davtyan and Armenia’s second worlds vault title in history, and NORWAY’S FIRST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS MEDAL EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:42 am. Kawakami Shohei JPN VT: Yurchenko double pike, a bit short, punches back on the landing and sits it. HAHA, they got Simone Biles’ reaction on that, PLEASE. 13.200 (5.2, 8.000)

Also does a Kas double full but comes up short again and lands on his knees. 13.466 (5.2, 8.566, -0.3 ND)

13.333 average.

9:38 am. Nazar Chepurnyi UKR VT: Draguelscu, mostly clean in the air compared to most but still some leg separation, big lunge back. 14.300 (5.2, 9.100)

Kas double full next, maybe a little lower than he’s capable of? Minor form in the air. Iffy step back to control it. 14.400 (5.2, 9.200)

14.350 average, oh no, into fourth!

9:35 am. Carlos Yulo PHI VT: Handspring piked double front half, SO clean in the air until the twist, bends his knees and ends up super short, punches forward, hand down. Ugh, he’s had simply the worst meet this year, I’m so sad for him. 13.333 (5.6, 8.033, -0.3 ND)

Second vault is a mostly clean handspring randi with a hop back. 14.433 (5.2, 9.233)

13.883 average, down in sixth sadly.

9:30 am. Artur Davtyan ARM VT: We started out the day actually on time with watching routines but just got behind due to a series of ads, score has been up for two minutes, spoiler alert, he HITS! Just watching now and he sticks the Dragulescu!!! Absolutely fantastic, no notes. 14.800 (5.2, 9.500, +0.1 SB)

Next up is the handspring randi, also perfection, also stuck. Okay world champion! It’s yours. Everyone else go home. Jake Jarman is like YAAAAAS. 14.900 (5.2, 9.600, +0.1 SB)

14.850 average, insane.

9:26 am. Touch warmups for the second half!

9:21 am. Jake Jarman GBR VT: Kas 2.5, simply an insane thing to do, and even more insane that he does it this well. It’s honestly flawless in the air, very little to deduct from. Big lunge forward. 14.900 (5.6, 9.300)

Dragulescu next, super solid, chest slightly forward and tiny bounce back, he’ll medal FOR SURE. 14.400 (5.2, 9.200)

14.650 average into first by about three tenths at the halfway point!

9:18 am. Harry Hepworth GBR VT: Handspring piked double front half, some knee bend especially as he starts to twist, big lunge back. 14.200 (5.2, 9.000) – oh shit they downgraded it to the Dragulescu! 14.200 (5.2, 9.000)

Does the handspring front triple full next, lots of noticeable knee form in the air and a bit low on the landing, takes a massive stumble forward into a lunge. 13.933 (5.6, 8.333)

14.066 average.

9:13 am. Arseniy Dukhno RUS VT: Kas 1.5 to start, gorgeous in the air until the very end when his knees get slightly soft, big lunge back. 14.400 (5.2, 9.200)

Next up is the Yurchenko triple, oooh! Not as clean in the air but it’ll get there I think. Leg form is especially not as tidy but it’s also not gross, has a big lunge back on the landing and then a little slide. 14.300 (5.2, 9.100)

14.350 average, just behind Sponevik.

9:08 am. Sebastian Sponevik NOR VT: Dragulescu, little hop back! REALLY nice lift and flight, and lhis leg form is pretty clean, goes a bit off to the side and maaaaybe is OOB or on the line with one foot? 14.333 (5.2, 9.133)

Second vault is a really strong handspring randi with a hop back. Mostly clean in the air. 14.400 (5.2, 9.200)

14.366 average!

He has Norway’s top two records on vault, with 14th in 2023 and 10th last year, so just being in the final is a major moment for him and his country. Would be WILD if he winds up on the podium. I think if everyone hits, he will not, but will be so close!

9:06 am. Athlete introductions for vault taking place now!

9:00 am. The stream has started! MAG athletes will start the competition on vault and should be introduced shortly.

8:59 am. WOW, IT’S THE LAST DAY OF WORLDS!

I’m watching on Peacock and following live scores on Longines.

We’ll see the men on vault, parallel bars, and high bar today, while the women will compete on beam and floor.
