[CameliasFingerpaint]

I just turned 39 and I could barely get myself out of bed to watch this competition

I’m 39 next month and can barely walk to the kitchen without extreme back and knee pain.

The Chinese as usual looking like they just got woken up from a siesta at home in their jammie coats

So its Yulo (FX) McClenaghan (PH) for Olympic qualification?

I think there was a tie on difficulty and execution for 8th in qualifications.

They couldn’t break a qualifying tie.

Just caught up with PH - buzzing for Rhys - we met him in Liverpool and he is lovely!

Several of us born in 1984 on this board!

So, in a change from the Tokyo qualification rules, Ahmed Abu Al Soud takes bronze but will have to try again for Paris at the World Cups next year.

In 2019 the rules were three qualifiers per apparatus but only if you made the final and then there was a fourth spot available through the World Cups, so while specialists on other apparatus benefit from this new system, PH and SR, where the most genuinely world-class specialists exist, lose out

Must’ve been quite a bittersweet moment for him.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

I love Ellie’s hair.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Shilese stuck that cold.

 

[irichluck21]

I have Shi at 9.100 E

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Hopefully that gets bronze.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Jones’ best UB routine ever holy ducking poo

 

[RichardL]

That’s a fifth World medal for Shilese Jones, a sentence I never thought I’d be typing just a couple years ago.

 

[J175]

So its Yulo (FX) McClenaghan (PH) for Olympic qualification?

Yulo can still knock himself out of FX if he finishes top 4 on PB, where he is currently second reserve

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Jon is on fire trashing the judges

 

[irichluck21]

Hopefully that gets bronze.

It’s going to be the front runner for gold.
