I do, too. I strongly feel that Melnikova does more and does it better. Also, Wong's vault was scored with the same pen as Melnikova's. I have no qualms with those scores relative to each other.

Not gonna lie... I'm a little teary-eyed. But it's also because it's 4 AM here in the Pacific Northwest, and I should get some sleep. LOL

The rule is changing in January. The Dismount requirement will max out at 0.5. So his score will go down a bit... So this was the day to pull it off.

My feed must be behind yours all. He gets 8.7... and ekes out the gold... I cannot believe it. He's the World Champion after all these years. Truth be told, Lan Xingyu opened the door. But Donnell walked through it!

The open hands on the Maltese is HOT. It's not a huge scoring thing, but it's such a flex. and he starts that way, so it sets you up to say "Oh shit, this guy is going to be good."

That was awesome... I have him at 8.9... And I forced myself to be tough. That exercise was awesome.

LOL, a lot of the gymnasts call him that, or at least refer to him that way, and it's spread to the fans and stuck...

Glen Cuyle gets 8.133, so my score was okay. I didn't think he could be a contender, but a better dismount... yeah, he would have been in there.

I have 8.2 for the Belgian guy. The dismount, of course, was the source of most of the issues. But he also was pretty high as he entered his forward roll (whippet) to cross. And some unsteadiness here and there... They probably will have him even lower, like 8.0?

Oh, wow, they had him down at 7.566. I was an overscore on that one.

I had 7.9 for Harry... That dismount... Aaaawww.... His tuck position is pretty closed...

Okay, 8.6 — they did hit him for those short holds. Not surprised... It's Worlds..

Petrounias's E-scores could be all over the place because some of his holds were borderline... Some judges will take the 0.3 deduction (there is no 0.1 deduction for a short hold) and others won't. I had 8.7, but on a generous day, I could have had 9.3.

I had Caio Souza down at 8.5... Lots of unsteadiness throughout, and he cowboys the triple, though I feel like that should be allowed on triples... I only took 0.1 for that... I refuse to deduct foot form on triple tucks. ETA: He got 8.466...

I have Asil at 8.8. ETA: He got 8.866... into first.
