Skye good floor except stumble on dismount

 

[Hatsumomo]

Lavi Crain had them all in her hair.

I’m glad Skye is just doing 3 passes. Saves the double tuck landing.

 

[Kara]

Who called floor as the USA’s weak event; yikes!

 

[Hatsumomo]

The flip is kind of amazing. The USA is now strong on UB, but has become weaker on what used to be their best event.

Only 12.9 for Skye on floor

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Kaliya Lincoln has made a bigger case for herself than anyone here after night 1, purely because everyone else is fumbling floor

 

[FrolovasDoubleLayout]

She is a diamond that just needs more polishing.

 

[RedBirdie]

Kayla finally hit a routine. 5.5/8.0/13.5

 

[blake]

13.5 for DiCello!

 

[J175]

The first landing was low, maybe still twisting and a step OOB.

 

[Laura722]

I hope Skye can get more power on those passes. I don’t want her to get injured.

 

[blake]

I’m getting shades of night one of 2011 Nationals tonight.

Ugh Leanne doing a wolf turn on floor. The double L looked decent. Wish we saw more whip halfs in elite.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Even with a near fall on her part and a stuck YDP on Simone’s, Shilese is nipping at Simone’s heels. She’s made her case not only for Worlds, but for Paris.

 

[RedBirdie]

Tiana off on bars

 

[blake]

Was it the toe 1/1 at the beginning again? The replay on the international feed showed a hit routine, albeit very rough.

 

[RedBirdie]

No credit for the VL for Tiana, right?. That was her 4th toe on skills. Why are US coaches putting 3 toe on skills in these bar routines? Disaster waiting to happen.

ETA: 5.4 d, so clearly I don’t understand the rules at all.
