Eddie and Kevin went 1-2 on FX. Fun!

If it had been "new life", Schwandt would have WON 1978 Worlds in a tie with Nelli Kim, who premiered the layout Tsuk full that day. I wonder how she vaulted in the team competition (qualification).

Nemour is counting an A element in that routine. That's weird, but maybe it's a strategy for her to focus on execution for the next several months? or just to make life easier for herself since she has so little real competition?

LMAO — Ellie Black should NOT get that bonus. She's doing a forward and a sideward / forward hybrid. Which is great, but the rule should remove the designation bwd/fwd because that's not what she's doing.

I've never noticed Morgane Osyssek before. Is she really inconsistent? Just finally came into some big tricks at age 22? What's the story? Here's beam from the French Championships recently:

I absolutely hate this format. It's a waste of time.

She should just do a watered down floor — enough for her to do AA. 5 dance elements double back front full to ... whatever is easiest for her.

He's capable of doing this for an 8.8-9.0, which will put him in medal contention at almost any event. He caught the Jaeger unusually close — playing it too safe, I think. And, the minute he drops that Healy to el-grip, his score goes up 0.3 immediately. A little cheesy to count a giant, but...

I actually agreed with the scoring on this exercise. This routine has the potential to score 9.0+ if she can fix the tilt in her split positions — and I feel like she TOTALLY can. That would be amazing to see. All three split positions: tilted forward 3 x .1 each Opening series — 0 off switch...

Sorry, i meant on high bar. I was too lazy to look back to see if it was a healy, healy to el, or Ono

@Passion Your posts with the scores and the photos are so wonderful. I don't think anyone else posts photos of the podium like you do, but it's really just a nice tough to put smiling faces to the listings of results. Thank you for doing that in this thread and others. ❤️❤️❤️

Heath Thorpe needs to dump that front full. He's losing 0.5 on it, and it's only adding 0.2.

Hamlet Manukyan is only 17! He's so good on PH, and Armenia has such a strong tradition of specialists competing well into their 30s, that he could be medaling on PH for another 17 years. Wow.

Already a mess. And the effect on qualification? Yikes... But there is ONE idea that could turn out REALLY cool: Go all in. Cut the men's and women's team events. 8 teams qualify based on data from Worlds. Automatic berth; qualifications for individual events only. 4 men + 4 women. Every...

Wow, that's a VERY tight turnover. I would not like that either as an athlete or a coach. Or a parent or a teacher, for that matter!
