2022 World Gymnastics Championships Team Qualifications (Saturday 10/29 SD 1&2- Sunday 10/30 SD 3-10)

China might make it up on UB, but they completely dived on BB (although still scored a 39+ there)

 

[onodian]

Pedrick almost down on 1.5-triple, but I will say, first routine where I feel I can kind of understand what music she’s performing to

 

[RedBirdie]

I was very confused because one of the all arounder individuals looks to be wearing a union jack in her leo, but I think she’s probably from the commonwealth somewhere

All arounders in sub 5 are from Puerto Rico, Turkey, Costa Rica, Cyprus, and Singapore.

 

[onodian]

Ou, pikey messy fty.

I kind of hope China doesn’t get away with great bars and a mediocre everything else to eek out a bronze

 

[onodian]

Should we rename the UB the Shaposh bars?

 

[Hatsumomo]

With those 12s and 10s, they shouldn’t even be in TFs, IMO, but they’ll squeak in.

 

[onodian]

I mean 12s on beam aren’t that crazy these days. The 10 is classic China, but yes, I expect them to sneak in.

Ellie on floor, this is pretty wild choreo to watch without sound. I sure hope the music justifies this somehow.

 

[lovegymnasts]

On the back of their leos

 

[onodian]

Eli 13.266 on beam, 4th atm

 

[Jerkin]

You really can’t argue with the energy Black puts into her choreo… that was crazy.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Ellie Black’s choreography is…interesting. Especially without the music for context.

 

[onodian]

turner from CAN 13.3 on floor, that did look lovely. The tumbling was generally lacking though, other than denomme who had a big DLO and seems to be working towards 1/1 to full-in

 

[Caligym]

I was expecting 1 Yfull from China but 3 of 4?!

 

[onodian]

yeah, not good. Still, ahead of Canada 118.231 to 118.096

 

[J175]

Even with those scores, they are the second best team so far on beam. They’re currently third on floor (behind Canada) and fourth on vault (behind Australia and Balguim, with Canada yet to compete)

 

[Seyonne]

Canada still ahead of China by about 2 tenths

 

[onodian]

oops I guess I read that the other way around

 

[J175]

Denommee’s score pushes Canada up to 118.462. China now to bars, Canada to vault. You’d still expect China to come out ahead, but if they fall this could be close. They should both beat Australia though.

 

[onodian]

Canada has Ellie, any other good vaulters? They might be able to compete with chinese scores? Specially since they might implode and jump off the bar after a kip cast?

 

[Hatsumomo]

Is it Luo Rui or Ou Yushan that has the gorgeous laidout Jaeger with the feet scary close to the bar? Because with the way China has been going today, I’m concerned.
