Oh Nabz.

Based on Urazova’s newfound inconsistency on beam–what the actual f*ck–Gerasimova’s stock went up. Vorona, while having a disastrous Nats, is stronger on VT and FX than Gerasimova, so she could still challenge for that last slot. Listunova, Urazova, and Melnikova are going to have a grueling competition–they may as well all do AA in TF.
 
I don’t trust those 3 to hit BB in TQ and TF to be honest.
 
Were most people predicting the team would be those 4? Many had Akhaimova, because Listunova’s DTY has always been gross and there was no telling how it would translate to 2021…until she stood it up and Akhaimova tweaked her ankle.

Russian Cup will be much more telling than Championships. Gerasimova has broken 53 only twice internationally, IIRC. She doesn’t have anything sewn up yet, and how much would this discussion change if Melnikova, Urazova, and Listunova more or less hit beam at Russian Cup (lol)?
 
Now that vault seems pretty secure they need at least 1 person who can hit beam. But Russia being Russia the person expected to hit beam probably would have the meltdown in TF. If Akaimova isn’t severely injured I see her getting the 4th spot.
 
Yes, this channel has the top gymnasts’ complete AA:



I’d be into judging too.

I think the main wild card we need to see is Minaeva. If she upgrades for Russian Cup, then we’re in for a great battle between her and Ilyankova for the +1, methinks.

Edit: the judges here have been a little generous with Listunova on bars. Her Jaeger and Ricna catches should be -0.3 nearly every time… she catches very close.

4 x E (Komova, Ricna, piked stalder full, stalder Shaposhnikova 1/2) - 2.0
4 x D (Pak salto, piked stalder 1/2, straddled Jaeger, full twisting double tuck) - 1.6

Total DV - 3.6

CV:

Komova + Ricna (E + E with x2 flight) = 0.2 CV

piked stalder full + Pak salto + stalder Shaposhnikova 1/2 (E + D + E, D + D or higher + D + E with x2 flight) = 0.3 CV

piked stalder 1/2 + straddled Jaeger (D + D) = 0.1 CV

Non-flight with 360 degree turn - piked stalder full

Total D - 3.6 + 0.6 + 2.0 = 6.2

Downgrades

giant 1/2

  • No impact on D score because it isn’t a counting element
Deductions

Komova
  • (flexed feet) 0.1
  • (body shape / excessive arch on back swing) 0.1
Ricna
  • (bent arms upon regrasp → does not appear to be significant in real time, and not disruptive to flow out of skill) 0.1
piked stalder full
  • (flexed feet) 0.1
  • (turn completed past handstand → past 45 degrees of handstand) 0.5
Pak salto
  • (angle of completion → between 10 and 30 degrees of handstand) 0.1

  • (flexed feet) 0.1
  • (turn completed past handstand → between 10 and 30 degrees of handstand) 0.1

Viktoria Listunova - Balance Beam

Acro:

5 x D (candle mount, front tuck, aerial, Kochetkova, double tuck)

Total Acro DV - 2.0

Dance:

1 x E (Mitchell)
2 x D (split ring leap, ring jump)

Total Dance DV - 1.3

CV / Series Bonus

front handspring + front tuck (B + D with 2x forward acro) = 0.2 CV

switch leap + split ring leap (C + D) = 0.1 CV

aerial + ring jump + back handspring stepout (D + D + B) = 0.3 CV + 0.1 SB

split jump + Kochetkova (B + D) = 0.1 CV

Total CV / SB = 0.8

CR

Dance Series - switch leap + split ring leap
Turn - Mitchell
Acro Series with Salto - front handspring + front tuck
Acro Elements in Different Directions - aerial, back handspring stepout

Total D - 3.3 + 0.8 + 2.0 = 6.1

Downgrades

front handspring + front tuck
  • No CV due to the fall on the front tuck.
split jump + Kochetkova
  • Elements were not connected
switch leap + split ring leap
  • No CV due to the slight pause before initiating the split ring leap
  • Note that both the split ring leap and ring jump look to have limited arch, but I gave Listunova the benefit of the doubt since the angle wasn’t the best for accurately evaluating these elements.
D - 3.3 + 0.4 + 2.0 = 5.7

Deductions

Mitchell
  • (excessive preparation) 0.1
  • (small balance error during final rotation) 0.1

Is there any way to have a wiki (or maybe a post that we update with new competitions) so that all the spreadsheets can be easily found after the competitions? I know there have been times on the old wwgym that I was like “crap, where was that Worlds 2018 google doc” and then have to flip through a hundred pages to find it. Ooh, or we use a tag. Can you tag just a post or do you have to tag the whole thread…so many things to learn!
 
@makam - if anyone (or a mod) wants to make a wiki, happy for them to use these. Some are messy AF (especially the earlier ones). Fun to take a look back though!

Interestingly, Chiles is juuuust beating both Listonova and Urazova in the AA right now, based on WWGym Judges scores.
