2021 worlds Day 1 EFs

[ArnoldRimmer]

Morning all! Is is just me?

Big news is, Hashimoto and Zhang Boheng have both withdrawn today. I don’t think any withdrawals for the WAGs so far.

We’re now watching the MAG floor warmup. Interestingly rather than all 8 warming up then doing the competition, the first 4 warm up, then compete, then there is a second warmup. Yulo just did the highest, most beautiful front pike timer. I’ve missed getting to see this.

 

[RAFIKI]

Morning I’m awake as well. Argghhh Yulo

 

[Angelika]

Dragged myself out of bed to watch Bartolini and Yulo… though I would like to see Skinner do well.

 

[RAFIKI]

I agree about having touch warm ups back. Still can’t believe it took 20 years.

MAG ROs get funkier at every competition.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Some very cockeyed efforts today.

 

[RAFIKI]

This floor final is good but it’s not helping my prediction scores

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Bet you didn’t have Soravuo on the podium!

 

[Angelika]

So pleased for Bartolini - that does help my predictions!

 

[RAFIKI]

Medal for Finland with such a well performed floor. Brilliant EF to start us off.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Love the podium, nothing to complain about with a Bartolini Minami Suravuo top 3. But ohhhhh, Carlos…

 

[RAFIKI]

Nope! I had Yulo, Karimi, Minami (Bartolini).

 

[RAFIKI]

I really want to see how high a stuck Andrade DTY goes on E score.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

So do ! She was the only 14.8 of the quad in major competition in Tokyo prelims. That being said, if I were her I wouldn’t try to stick it. She doesn’t need to, and the less her knees have to cope with the better.

 

[Angelika]

Beautiful!

 

[RAFIKI]

Andrade has such a good half on entry. All the way around.

Lovely to see Taman hitting.

 

[RAFIKI]

Beautiful vaulting Andrade.

 

[Angelika]

Well… there’s our vault champion!

 

[RAFIKI]

14.8 with a step. Lovely vaulting.

 

[RAFIKI]

Well this is adorable

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Is it just me or does Bakscay facially have a look of Mustafina?
