Goid bars from Simone. Interesting little foot shuffle near the end…

Does the bail to handstand section add a lot to Jordan’s score? Cuz it just feels like a deduction sink.

 

[Sasha]

Who was on bars before Roberson? She looked good.

 

[RedBirdie]

Tiana

 

[RedBirdie]

Shoot, I missed Suni on beam because I was trying to watch Nola on floor and Joscelyn on bars at the same time.

 

[Sasha]

Huh. She seems to have improved significantly.

 

[makam]

It was pretty nervy. Lots of balance checks on rings.

 

[RedBirdie]

New floor for Shilese. Very dreamy, floaty music.

 

[RedBirdie]

Skye with a gorgeous Lopez.

 

[makam]

Short landing on bb for jade.

Short handstands before and after the bail section in Jordan’s ub just kill it for me. I like everything else.

I’d love to know, because it doesn’t appear so to me. Maybe it means she’s not counting a B somewhere? But it seems so unnecessary.

 

[makam]

Lew’s straight cast at the start…love.

 

[makam]

She should take the B cuz those short handstands are poo.

 

[RedBirdie]

I could watch Lew swing giants all day. Her extension and toe point are unrivaled.

 

[Hatsumomo]

It’s amazing how the USA went through an almost 20-year UB drought and now there are so many girls swinging bars beautifully.

 

[RedBirdie]

I like this version on Simone’s gymnastics so much more.

 

[crdubb17]

Ashlee Sullivan did one of the scariest double fulls I’ve ever seen. Why is Valeri allowing this? Like he really said Rebecca Bross who?

And Joscelyn doesn’t have a same bar release now?

 

[makam]

Much stronger beam from Suni.

 

[RedBirdie]

Valeri can’t teach vault to save his life. But he sure will let his gymnasts chuck 'em until they wreck a knee.

 

[makam]

For a lady with loads of power, Jade sure doesn’t get much lift on beam dismounts.

 

[RedBirdie]

And Joscelyn don’t have a same bar release now?

You’re right! Somehow I missed that. I was just glad to see that hideous dumpy geinger had been removed.
