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

[Gymfan93]

Yes, start on bars

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Maybe the real plan was Chiles Pan Ams so that she can win all-around and all the other medals?

 

[QuietColours]

Does GB start on bars?

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Yes

 

[Puffin]

Did Leanne clip her foot on the low bar early in her routine? It looked like she did on the feed. I thought her E score seemed a bit low. What is the deduction if she did?

 

[Caledi]

Yeah it doesn’t quite sound natural in English, does it? Maybe “let the motion move you” or something would have been better (if they really wanted to use “motion”, which I’m not crazy about)

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

I didn’t notice that. Hit on apparatus with feet is -0.5. But I don’t think she did, the score seemed reasonable to me

 

[MaryClare]

Even I miss Doug

 

[Sasha]

Yeah, that’s fair. I don’t expect it would have panned out better with Chiles, but I see your point.

 

[blake]

UB mic picking up some Aussie (?) woman talking to someone about the biomechanics of Biles’ VT, Taiwan only having 1 girl do podium traning, and Lithuania’s bars lol

 

[cftmoonlight79]

What time is next sub? Also when is Finland, Romania, and Aleah Finnegan?

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

I think she would’ve beaten Wong on bars, obviously Blakely on beam but that’s unfair, as well as Roberson (maybe Jones) on FX, and Roberson on VT

 

[J175]

Not a great subdivision for those looking for individual Olympic places.

Lihie Raz was the top scorer in that subdivision with 49.999, then the top Taiwanese athlete was Liao Yi-Chun on 48.899. Not sure that’ll be enough. No one else - Rasmussen, Milka Gehani etc will make it.

 

[Puffin]

Found an upload on youtube and I think she did. Also Laurent is sailing very close to the wind of almost touching her when spotting

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

There is also something to be said for experimenting, especially in a worlds where you can afford to. Better to find out now.

 

[Gymfan93]

Half pst whatever hour it is now your time zone

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

The interesting thing is that she’s doesn’t really have anywhere to go scorewise next year. I don’t think an Amanar would be a good look on her, and she’s maxed out d-score wise on Floor.

She might be able to find a few tenths cleaning up dance elements, but that’s a pretty tall order.

 

[Rich]

I know it is apples and organes but even with the Russian scoring this summer, Shilese did better than Viktoria (56.85)

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Domestically Listunova has gone into the 58s but take it with a grain of salt

 

[Hatsumomo]

Shilese follows Simone by just under 2 points. Intriguing.
