I know it's early, lots of gymnastics left, but am I seeing this correctly? The US is in first?

Yes!

 

[irichluck21]

Yup first place at the 1/3 mark!

 

[Hatsumomo]

I know it's early, lots of gymnastics left, but am I seeing this correctly? The US is in first?

Yep. by .666 and 1.166 over China and Japan

 

[Passion]

China going to rings next with the first and second place qualifiers to the final.

Vault is a higher scoring event for everyone.

 

[RedBirdie]

I'm under no illusions about them holding onto first. I'm just shocked that after 2 events of non-splatfest gymnastics, the US is leading. Feels insane.

 

[Regionals]

I think I'm developing a crush on Justin Spring, please send help

He called himself Prince Harry when looking at a photo of the ‘08 team.

Whitehouse fall on his Draglescu.

[irichluck21]

Malone strong PB set, mimimal deductions. Only error was dismount. .3 step .1 adjustment.

USA picked up 1.4 from Whitehouse VT vs Malone PB.

 

[Passion]

What is wrong with Zou Jingyuan’s shoulder. No no no no no.

It is weird to see so many tattooed gymnasts... didn't used to be against the rules?

 

[Hatsumomo]

Did anybody else notice the Nedoroscik countdown timer they had earlier?

 

[irichluck21]

I think it was not in the rules but frowned upon. But I think tattoos no longer have the stigma they once had 20-30 years ago.

 

[Hatsumomo]

It is weird to see so many tattooed gymnasts... didn't used to be against the rules?

I was thinking the same thing. I recall something about them relaxing on that, but man, we've got some almost full-body tattoos here.

 

[Passion]

In 2004 everyone used to cover them with bandages.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Ukraine has a great vault rotation.

I will never understand Radivilov’s run and how moving his arms like that is the best way to generate speed.

 

[rlayt]

The tattooed-everywhere Italian gymnast said he considers his body a. work of art.

 

[irichluck21]

Asher is having a DAY!

 

[Big_rock_show]

Asher Hong keeps it alive!!

 

[irichluck21]

Crowd chanting U-S-A!

LA came early!
