John is a great commentator, very easy to listen to.

 

[Doug1233]

The US boys are all so close!

Yang is in 9th so it’s possible he may be subbed in as he will probably be a reserve… I wish he hadn’t tried for the super hard 2nd vt in qual

I’ve watched a number of recent competitions and I don’t think all the blame can lie with the springboard (unless it follows them around! ). I guess guys are more willing to throw a vault they haven’t fully mastered while the women generally stick to what they know they can land reliably?

 

[makam]

Is malone having a rough day or has Sam just found his mojo? He was a lot more ahead of the others at Trials.

I don’t think either of them are having their best day. Sam struggled with high bar, and Brody had a bouncy floor routine including an OOB.

I’m sure others will be able to explain much better but I thought that Malone definitely benefited from others’ mistakes in the last couple of comps

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Fudge, Shane fell.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Yeah, Brody stuck his vault!!!

And a clean vault from Sam.

All four are in the top 20 AA.

I have a dumb question. Do the women tape their shoulders/arms as often as the men, and we just don’t see it because they wear long sleeves, or do the men tape their shoulders/arms more?

 

[Doug1233]

Brody and Sam

 

[makam]

After 2-per-ing the AA results, looks like Malone and Mikulak will be 7th and 8th qualifiers. Japan has 4 in the top 12, China and ROC have 3. Bad ass.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

What are the chances Shane ends up getting to compete in the floor final as the first reserve?

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Can ppl list finals qualifiers please? I’m out now, patchy connection

 

[Doug1233]

USA beat GBR by a tenth and a half.

I’ve been watching the quals on Eurosport 4. No commentary and no adverts.

 

[RAFIKI]

Really diverse EF. Overall I’m pretty happy with how that turned out. Uchimura HB and Yulo FX are the biggest disappointments and VT was the most splatty overall. The scores needed to get in to some of these finals were huge. I think everyone who should be in PH with the exception of Tommasone is there. The US AA race petered out in the end with Wiskus sitting his vault. Fraser managed to stay in the top group for AA, what awesome company. The team tiers are very obvious. Argh so much to digest.

 

[Dex]

Yes! That was perfect!
Bart made HB final, yeah!!

 

[RAFIKI]

Kudos to David for holding on to PH and PB EF in 8th. Pleased to see Bull in HB as well.
