this is absolutely fucking outrageous

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Ok yeah that’s raaaather concerning.

 

[irichluck21]

That is a huge safety concern!!
She missed out on the all around final due to the FIG.
Crazy AND hypocritical of the FIG, trying to promote gymnastics to smaller countries/federations.
This looks poorly on them that a gymnast from Trinidad and Tobago couldn’t compete because of this.

Bit of a ragged England display on bars… now Simm off. They might still go ahead of Canada but I think it’s fair to say this is more about D than E…

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Have the people outside the Commonwealth managed to get working streams?

 

[Gymfan93]

I think they are on VPNs and on the Canadian one.

England is going to BB and my nerves are shot. Fragapane goes first.

 

[Doug1233]

I’m not . give me ur descriptions of the english routines!!

 

[Gymfan93]

I’m sure Frags on BB is going to be… interesting.

Spencer is doing quick hits, I find it to be pretty good: https://balancebeamsituation.com/2022/07/30/commonwealth-games-team-live-blog/?amp=1

I have Gymnaverse open in one window, BBS in another, and US Classic juniors on TV. Happiness.

Ondine was ragged but still competitive. Alice fine, didn’t connect the Pak but otherwise good. Kelly fell and that was coming throughout the routine. GMF hit pretty well and I think that’s the first 8+ E score we have seen aside from vault?

Now beam, and may I remind everyone that GB remain the world champions at beam execution score. We shall see if I regret typing that in about 10 minutes.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Fragapane’s core is taking a battering this routine.

 

[Doug1233]

wobbly??

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Yeah, and most people would’ve fallen after the arabian. She basically did a limbo instead.

 

[Gymfan93]

11.65 for Frags. GMF with one of the best BB sets I’ve seen from her.
ETA: 13.3. 8E for GMF.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

All of the wolf turns we’ve seen so far today have been ungainly in their own way. It’s time for them to go. I was correct when I called for a lifetime ban for anyone still inflicting them on us.

 

[RedBirdie]

AR, then don’t watch the US gymnasts. The number of wolf turns still being done…

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Ugh, no. I’ll be needing a pre vetted watching list of safe routines.

Not Ondine’s best, but I think now England have hit three clean routines on bars and beam, it’s theirs to lose.
