Roberson is so banana-y in the air on vault

 

[RedBirdie]

Roberson put a Cheng to her feet but had to defy multiple laws of physics to do so.

Nola Matthews struggling hard on beam tonight

 

[makam]

Was hers the dismount to face?

 

[RedBirdie]

Yep

I’m really liking Shilese and Leanne’s beam compositions. Hopefully they can emulate them in competition.

 

[RedBirdie]

Jade didn’t die on bars this time around. I think her full pirouette looks better than last year?

 

[makam]

Nice vault from Tiana.

Roberson’s next vault was better. Less bananaish.

 

[Laura722]

Shilese looks so stunning on beam!

 

[makam]

I missed, did Suni do a full routine?

 

[Laura722]

Was that Skye that crashed on a Silivas? I don’t want her to get injured on that.

 

[RedBirdie]

Skye had a bunch of short landings on floor.

 

[crdubb17]

I think I spoke too soon. Shilese bailed on her ff+ff+lay so then threw in a flawless side aerial +layout. But everything else looks quite good, and she also added a gorgeous split jump to the Arabian.

It’s interesting to see who’s been paying attention to the code and who hasn’t.

 

[RedBirdie]

Looks like vaults is done, and neither Biles or Roberson did second vaults.

 

[crdubb17]

I’m sorry, but Joscelyn has no business doing that Cheng. She’s twisting into the ground! Jeez.

 

[Sasha]

Jeez, this is sounding like a bloodbath. Hopefully they’ll all get it out of their system tonight.

 

[makam]

Jordan, booties? Nooooo! Not Simone too!

Holy cow they just fixed the contrast a bit on the camera on beam!

 

[blake]

Holy shit that vault from Sullivan…how does she keep walking away from these?

 

[rlayt]

No injuries please

!

 

[RedBirdie]

Looks like they took the geinger out of Roberson’s bars.

My kingdom for someone to use some really outside of the box floor music. It’s all either violins or vaguely middle Eastern (or both!).
