Weird. Are you not in America? My husband did something to the antivirus the other day but I don’t think it was a VPN. Mind, all I’ve seen so far is Geddert and adverts.

Looks like Skye Blakely and Konnor McClain scratched their first events.

I am so not okay with them discussing abusers during a meet. Just not the time, not the place. Let the gymnasts enjoy their day, let the spectators enjoy the meet.

Yeah, but then they get s-hi-t on for “ignoring” the issues. it is kinda a damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

 

[RedBirdie]

I’m reminded that NBC sucks when it comes to broadcasting this sport.

 

[RedBirdie]

Riley bars: she just looks so much stronger. Her new double front half out dismount is so much better than that old terrifying one.

 

[Sasha]

Aw, Riley has a Jade bow.

 

[Bogwoppit]

Agreed, no winning is there. But maybe not showing photos of them?

 

[RedBirdie]

Chiles: enormous DTY. On a completely different level than the other DTYs we’ve seen today. That looks Amanarable.

 

[allaround]

Chiles did a beautiful DTY!

 

[Sasha]

She definitely looks stronger!

Riley has my favorite Ricna. I love the technique that keeps the straddle shape from the stalder entry all the way through the catch instead of closing after the stalder.

 

[RedBirdie]

Jade on bars: catches first release a little close. Doesn’t do double double dismount. But stayed on, always a victory for Jade.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Think I’m behind you all. Riley’s bars didn’t connect much but the dismount upgrade was fab. For Chiles, that DTY was great and clearly has Amanar potential, but… that’s not new, is it?

 

[RedBirdie]

Skye on beam. Standing full. Fronthandspring front! Bit of a wobble. Her split positions seem short?

 

[RedBirdie]

Ciena on floor! Double pike. Double tuck. Oh no, vocals in her music. 1.5 to front full. Double full, very crunchy landing.

Completely different Leo than teammate Suni Lee.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Yeah, the standing full was gorgeous but I don’t think the leap positions were hit properly.

 

[RedBirdie]

Konnor time. Beam. She still looks very young! Standing full. Bhs bhs layout. Onodi. Switch switch half. Big bobble on split ring jump. Bhs bhs double pike dismount.

 

[Sasha]

Gorgeous dance from Alepio!

Konnor’s beam

Konnor looked so good on beam: confident, clean, precise.
