2023 Worlds WAG Qualifications Subs 1-3 (Sunday 10/01) ITA, NED, USA, TAI, GBR, KOR, RSA, apparatus specialists

[RichardL]

Before today I would’ve said to have Wong go ahead and do UB in TF instead of Biles, but you can’t ignore the .8 difference.

 

[Rich]

but if they are going to win, shouldnt she rest?

 

[J175]

I think it could be. She’s already beaten Visser, Veerman and D’Amato

 

[irichluck21]

Jones at 8.433 E score is a complete joke.

Should have been at minimum 8.7. I had 8.8.

 

[tempest]

is the FIG scoring working for anyone?

 

[RichardL]

You either rest Biles on bars or Jones on vault (or beam). Wong should get to do something. Unless she miraculously outscores Roberson on floor!

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Yeah, I want expecting that dramatic of an improvement from Simone. It clearly doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but I wonder how Simone feels doing 4 events in team finals.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Shi and Simone should not be so close in execution. Handstand shape along shoule give Shi several tenths. Simone has deducted on every handstand with her line. That being said Simone did great. I thought Skye got hit a little hard on E score.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Overall great start for USA.

 

[irichluck21]

I felt both Wong and Blakely were low. Biles was right. Jones low.
I had Wong at 8.2 and they went 7.933

 

[irichluck21]

Overall great start for USA.

On their “weakest” event.

 

[Hatsumomo]

It’s amazing an event the USA has spent the past two decades having as their weakest on is now one of their strongest

 

[Hatsumomo]

Somebody using the cello version of “Paint It Black” from the show Wednesday.

 

[J175]

She did all four events in TF in 2016, 2018 and 2019, and would have done in Tokyo as well. Is it even something they would be considering?

 

[Rich]

leanne is doing what I wanted her to do last quad. I love that she is really doing great.

 

[Gymfan93]

Raz from Israel

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

After what happened in Tokyo, all possibilities should be on the table.

 

[RichardL]

The judges are going low for Wong from what I can tell. I always think the opposite would be true based on her performance quality.

 

[blake]

4 of Taiwan’s team competed at Asian Games earlier this week! Ting was there as late as Friday.

 

[Sasha]

Agreed. Also, theyre a strong enough team that they dont need Simone’s AA to get gold.
