Since the WAG AA thread isn’t open…Ou Yushan is out.

 

[MaryClare]

Since the WAG AA thread isn’t open…Ou Yushan is out.

China didn’t have a 3rd AAer?

I was just looking at the start list…Ana Barbosu is the sole gymnast from Eastern Europe.

 

[Gymfan93]

Zhang scratched FX, IIRC.

 

[Caligym]

Since the WAG AA thread isn’t open…Ou Yushan is out.

That means Finnegan is now first reserve, right!?

 

[Gymfan93]

Yes, although 2pc applies for a lot of the field, so it would depend who needs replacing.

The thought came up in the MAG thread about if the WAG podium would be older than the MAG podium (22-20-19). From the top fifteen qualifiers:

Biles - 26
Jones - 21
Gadirova - 19
Andrade - 24
Black - 28
Saraiva - 24
Esposito - 16
Qiu - 16
DJDS - 23
Vissor - 22
Achmapong - 19
Godwin - 25
D’Amato - 20

It’s almost certain the mean age will be higher, and it’s highly plausible that all athletes on the podium will be as old or older than Hashimoto.

Gross, my eyes!

Speaking of things hurting my eyes when is Ellie Black going to retire? Her gymnastics is such a yawnfest.

 

[rlayt]

This might not be a popular opinion but Ellie Black’s floor choreo and her performance was my favorite, bar none, of this WAG competition.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Looking forward to following along! Great results for the US so for, and im hoping Simone and Shi can bring home 2 more.

It was great. I’ve never really been a fan of hers before, but I really like her current FX.

how rude to ask for retirement
Actually, her style is not my taste as well

 

[KristyJ]

Her style isn’t exactly my taste either, but it seems a bit rude to imply she should retire because of that. She’s still one of the top 10 in the world! And I do like her determination.

 

[irichluck21]

As mentioned Osyssek-Reimer is in the all around for Ou Yushan.

What a great meet for Morgane. She was expected to be the alternate here with Djenna Laroui competing, but they swapped and Morgane ended up being crucial to the team final results. She made reserve on floor and all around and now gets to compete in the AA final. What a competition for her!
Out of everyone in the all around final, she is the most unexpected IMO.

 

[Denn]

I actually think it’s a VERY popular opinion. A lot of people are saying great things about. I absolutely love it, and I am not necessarily a fan of Black’s gymnastics, per se. But this floor is wonderful!

That is good to know. I will have to check it out, maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. I generally try to avoid her.

Honestly, saying I wish someone would retire because don’t like their style is pretty tame. If I wanted “nice” opinions only I’d be on Reddit, not here.

 

[jenifer9]

Mixed feelings today - my partner and I were meant to be attending the WAG AA final, our first ever live meet, and we’ve had to cancel our trip (due to my medical issues) which is incredibly disappointing. So I’m excited to watch the final but still with that slight edge of regret over not being able to be there in person.

I don’t think there could be any bad podium today, although I’m certainly rooting for Biles to take another gold and further cement her GOAT-ness. Success for any of them would make me happy at the silver/bronze level.

 

[SBaity]

I am so excited for today! I’m leaving work early because my kids have a half day. So the good news is I will have it on at home, but of course kids will keep me busy. Yesterday I had the Men’s on in the background at work and it was so exciting! I would like any of the top four on the podium, though I do really want Simone to win. I would also love to see Melanie have an amazing meet.

 

[JaJa]

Simone for gold!
