At least its not ads for cancer medication.

I spoke too soon…

 

[QuietColours]

Time for me to go frost that cake that was cooling

 

[makam]

That’s standard Nothing But Crap. They could show us a catchup routine or two during the warmup but gotta get some pennies from low-level advertisers instead.

 

[Passion]

Here’s Ashlee’s beam from last year since we have to wait until after this meet ends to see this year’s.

 

[Doug1233]

Zeiss on VT I have 8.8

 

[RedBirdie]

8.45. Judges hated that vault.

 

[J175]

No commentary but lots of routines.

 

[Doug1233]

WOW. This judging isn’t Worlds judging and Im not mad about it.

 

[makam]

Wow, 8.4 E on vault…way harsh.

 

[Doug1233]

This is a huge sign from Chellsie that they’re sick of domestic scores not aligning to international scores. I love it.

 

[RedBirdie]

In fairness, I thought it was a pretty fugly vault. Not 8.45 fugly, but definitely a lot of obvious deductions.

 

[Doug1233]

Matthews on UB I have 7.7

 

[QuietColours]

I was going to say how nice it was to see someone keep their legs straight on beam, and then that switch half

 

[RedBirdie]

That ring jump has to go from Tiana’s beam. My eyes!

 

[Doug1233]

Suman BB I have 7.5 (a2)

 

[makam]

But overall, she had good stretch. I liked it.

 

[Doug1233]

I have 5.2 on bars for Kelly Sim… I mean Disidore

 

[RedBirdie]

Matthews on UB I have 7.7

7.75

Now, will these sane scoring still be in evidence once the big names return?

 

[QuietColours]

Me too. Some work on the dance elements, but the switch half at least looked more like hesitation. The ring jump, well, basically no one should be doing a ring jump, frankly. It was a good routine and had a lot of polish, even if you can’t see your reflection in it yet.

 

[RedBirdie]

What the absolute fuck in GAGE wearing?
