Another great routine from Qingying then, she should definitely be on the team unless Qiu Qiyuan shows a miraculous return to top form at the final trial.

Any scores released or info on Zhang Qingying? I'd guess the team right now to be: Zhang Qingying (AA, high chance of BB medal) Zhang Yihan (AA, small chances for VT+UB+FX medals) Zhou Yaqin (best in the world on BB, decent chance of FX medal) Yang Fanyuwei (top 2 in the world on UB) I'd...

This is the biggest thing that needs to be addressed. It's too easy to get connection bonus on every apparatus, shaposh skills are overvalued on UB, gainer full to the side should not be an acceptable BB dismount (unless performed as a difficult connection), FX dismount bonus should only apply...

Ashton could've done a Tweddle, lots of people could have, but it wasn't widely realized before 2018 that you only had to catch in mixed grip to do them, rather than turn in the air. I'd like to see Charleigh work towards a Bhardwaj. It pairs well with the Komova. Then from there she could work...

Good for her, but FIG Parkour is just a big NO. A very bastardized, ugly version of what parkour is supposed to be. Truly insulting cultural appropriation. The Japanese girl showed better variety and expression of movement.

Japan's decisions with WAG are always so aggravating. Kishi Rina is a bit of a waste to send to an individual worlds. That said, picking this team was always going to be a bit awkward. They have 5 people who ideally want to be competing Beam, either because they're individually very good at it...

These triple salto dismounts on Rings are building up quite a number of mishaps...

Barani stepout is great too, maybe even the most stickable B connection, since it allows a lunge position. Aerial cartwheel is another lunge option. We definitely should be seeing way more connections. Along with the "dance" connections that are available, the goal should be to end almost every...

Need more front lay stepout connections. Do the Pavlova!

Who is the Men's team, I didn't see it announced anywhere.

Hang's floor is good, hopefully Day 1 nationals was a fluke and she does another strong performance at trials, along with the 2nd vault reappearing. That should definitely make her the alternate to Roberson. Also looking at the scores, and given how much Hezly was overscored on Beam and...

Smart way to get a paycheck from a bunch of federations.

This is exactly the world team I wanted! For someone who used to be amazing at twisting, and is still doing a Silivas, that pass simply does not compute. I refuse to believe she can't do 1.5 to front full. Ain't no way. Her step out of it is probably getting .3 too (even though she does it as a...

.5 artistry differential being common between judges for the same Floor routine, and up to .6 differential being a thing, is a bit problematic. It's not like anyone is doing anything particularly esoteric and controversial with regards to their musical interpretation and choreo, to create such a...

6.0* D on that Rings routine from Donnell, but yeah I think it's a bit crazy to ignore the E score....especially from someone who had an achilles injury and needs to hit a Triple Pike dismount to possibly be competitive on the world level. The chances are so low.
