2022 World Gymnastics Championships Event Finals Day 1 (Saturday 11/05)

Well, caught the end of Shilese’s routine. Glad she got that upgraded connection in there.

 

[GymBeauty]

If the judging is fair, Derwael can not beat that from Shilese.

 

[tempest]

14.766!!!

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Yeah, Derwael shouldn’t beat Jones. Wei and Luo can

 

[tempest]

I hate Nina’s feet

 

[Sasha]

No one likes Nina’s feet.

 

[cats]

Those open shoulders. She is so beautiful!

 

[GymBeauty]

That is an underscore, bleh.

 

[QuietColours]

Interesting that Shilese is making routine decisions midroutine, à la Suni and Sanne. I wonder if the US is going to start encouraging athletes to be that aware of routine setup and athlete trust in themselves?

 

[jezmerallia]

My Peacock feed froze during Shilese’s routine. I could hear the audio but I didn’t see it

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Another one bites the dust.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

that was silly

 

[Sasha]

Can we distinguish between the Ezhova, which passes through vertical, and a fish flop?

Fish flops are cool, mind you.

 

[makam]

Can Shilese also change her dismount, like pronto? (I really liked Visser’s dismount. It flew)

 

[tempest]

that’s an interesting view of the Ezhova

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Ricna (E) + back drop with 1/2 turn (B). I made up that skill, but this is the combo we just saw

 

[Passion]

Laurie pretending training gyms don’t exist, says the athletes on UB have been just sitting in the back with cold muscles for hours waiting for the UB final to start.

 

[tempest]

Can Shilese also change her dismount, like pronto? (I really liked Visser’s dismount. It flew)

Isn’t she training the double front half?

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

More importantly Jones has to tighten the toe 1/2 before the dismount

 

[Sasha]

Nice and clean from Veerman.
