Cant really argue with her win, that's about as definitive as it gets, but for whatever reason I really prefer Yaqin's routine to ZQY. The result I would argue is that Sugihara should have been the clear silver medal over Nemour.

Flavia is nice on beam, but she hasnt really kept up the pace. Nemour and Sugihara out-choreo'd her, Amanda Yap's switch ring is just as good, and she doesnt have any difficult acro on the beam (She used to do a harder series, anyway).

I actually fuck with Sabrina on beam and would not be mad if she got a bronze or something. She kinda moves like Vanessa Atler on that routine. Oh well.

Yeah, I dont agree with that result based on Nemour's dismount. Thought she honestly might be just above Flavia.

Right... this was the first time i noticed she actually has choreography (of sorts)...

Do we think the beam is too frictiony for wolf turns? Usually youll want a bit of worn down leather.

If Sugihara is 8.166, Ellie should not be scoring > 7.5....

Ok this is already the best part of worlds for the women :)

WTF is up with that E score. Thought she'd get an 8.5 (lol).

I'm not a huge fan of the requirements of the artistry checklist on beam, but Sugihara is really giving us choreo on the apparatus -- as hyped as Flavia is on the event for execution I don't really see these routines being comparable in that regard. That was fantastic.

I'd like to watch on Eurovision to avoid Laurie's babbling but when I click into the Worlds link it says "no events scheduled for this day"

Wow. The standard for MAG vaulting in 2025 is so insanely high. Meanwhile, for WAG it's worse now than 10 years ago.

Damn i thought Carlos deserved a 9.7 for that first vault. Unreal.

Random thought but did any of the gymnasts explicitly comment that the beam had too much friction, as new beams sometimes can when the leather isn't worn in at all? This seems like an obvious explanation for all the botched wolf turns I just saw in the All Around...

Basically all of Aleah Finnegan's routines in elite have been prime exhibits of the fraudulence of the current E panels and proof of the compulsion to clump scores together. She is competing watered down, technically excellent routines on Floor and Beam that count B- skills, and still the...
