2023 World Championship Event Finals Day 1: MAG FX, PH, SR & WAG VT/UB (Saturday 10/07)

[RedBirdie]

Back to Leanne’s vault score…did she get double penalized? Looks like it to me. The D panel downgraded her to a pod, but E looks like they deducted for insufficient stretch. Ridiculous.

Jones would be doing this routine

Toe 1/1 + Downie + Pak + Van Leeuwen
Toe 1/2 + giant + double front

too short, it’s barf-worthy

But I mean, for sure she’d have to try to take more out of those? So, harder pirouettes, or harder releases, or harder dismount? Plus, she could do a lone E release to substitute one D. I’m not sure the routines would look like the ones we have now minus 2 skills.

plus it would make fucking sense to, for example, do a hristakieva, since less elements, big elements count more, even if you can’t connect.

that’s what happens… it’s crazy

 

[RedBirdie]

Probably not a great idea. She was on crutches what, two days ago?

If their goal is to break her, than they’re doing a stunningly great job.

 

[tempest]

I know nothing about PH but that looked good

[ArnoldRimmer]

Cecile said she was warming up and trying to give it a go.

I can see that it must be very hard to give up an opportunity like this if you’re not sure you’ll ever get another one, but I hope she doesn’t live to regret trying to land on it.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Wow, another medal for the US men!

 

[RichardL]

Khoi Young will get at least a silver medal. We’ll see what Rhys can do.

 

[Gymfan93]

US MAG have had a great worlds

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

I think part of why PH bores me is because there’s little correlation between what is difficult and what looks impressive. Basically all the circles with legs together look like week sauce compared to a stunning flair

 

[Rich]

what happened to whitlock?

 

[Gymfan93]

what happened to whitlock?

I was only half watching. He came off though

 

[RichardL]

I love how the stupid little “rank order” folding chairs have the guys predicting the scores before they appear lol

 

[Seyonne]

Do the Brits have any hope of pulling off a medal somewhere? What finalists do they have left?

And they got it wrong! how awkward for Whitlock to now have to stand up and reclaim his spot.

Jarman on vault is the best bet.
For WAG, it’s Kinsella FX
MAG have Jarman and Hepworth on VT and Hepworth on rings

Case in point, why is Whitlock ahead of Chiba Kenta? Whitlock’s routine did not look a whole point more difficult, I hate this event

Maybe MAG vault. Jarman and Hepworth are both in that. For the women it’s just Kinsella on floor, which isn’t realistic.

 

[RichardL]

Whitlock is going for a Li Shanshan as well
