WAG AA: 1) Breanna Scott 2) Ruby Pass 3) Asher Bayles, & Amber Ward (Hong Kong).
Breanna lovely beam 5.7D, solid floor (double layout is back).
Ruby Pass only did full difficulty on bars, and possible beam on Day 2. She did her usual floor routine choreography, looked good - commentators said she's working on upgrades.
Kate McDonald won bars (huge Tkatchev) and floor (double front, front double twist, 2.5 twist). She didn’t vault.
Miella Brown is competing again after ACL injury. No YDT vault yet, just Yurchenko full twist.
Asher Bayles apparently vaulted a Y1.5 but I didn’t see it.

Absent: Georgia Godwin (?), Romi Brown (ACL recovery?), Kate Sayer (knee or foot), Emily Whitehead (shoulder). Emily’s younger sister Hayley (15) finished 2nd in her category. Emma Nedov has retired.

Peggy Liddick was coaching an athlete. Harriet Wingrove is coached by Tim Lees and Alyona Kvasha.

For MAG, Jesse Moore looked great, difficulty with good form. Won HB with a 5.7D. It was livestreamed on Day 2 at 1hr22m if you want to watch!
James Hardy was solid too, better than last year.
James Bacueti did a Dragulescu and a Kas double twist (I think?) for vault silver behind Hinata Kabeya (think he competes for Japan).
Heath Thorpe had two falls on HB (stoop-half, Def).

As for Worlds teams, I say Breanna, Ruby and Kate, with Georgia Godwin if she's ready.
MAG team is more competitive, I'd guess Jesse Moore, James Hardy and James Bacueti. Then depends how the men are looking closer to Worlds. Possible options: Zac Perillo for rings, Mitch Morgans and Heath Thorpe for HB if they can get some consistency, Marcus Casamento for FX experience? Clay Mason-Stevens is usually good on FX but didn't compete it here, and Vedant Sewant didn't compete so not sure how his PH is at the moment.

Georgia Godwin posted on Instagram that she withdrew because she didn't feel ready.

From Olympic return to national glory: Breanna Scott claims All Around title | Australian Olympic Committee

Breanna Scott delivered a brilliant beam routine to clinch the Women’s All Around Australian crown in a heart-stopping finale on the Gold Coast last night, edging out hometown hero and Paris Olympic team-mate Ruby Pass, who produced a show-stopping final ...

[ArnoldRimmer]

It seems Heath is another victim of the scale curse.

 

[irichluck21]

In hindsight might as well take it out, it's going to get deducted no matter what, conserve the energy for tumbling. For some guys, they are getting more than .3 deductions on the scale so they are actually saving on E score by not doing it.

I doubt the scale will last too long.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

No, we're rapidly approaching the point where it takes up too much oxygen in the room.

Though I did enjoy all the audience cheering the MAG scales at Euros.

Ruby only did a layout beam dismount day 2. I think she's working on a double back? IF she can get the upgrades on every apparatus that she's working on, she's going to be an absolute force in the AA and be a genuine medal chance.

Of the others - I was so impressed by Kate on floor. I forget the skills she had there. And Bre is such a clean gymnast. Hope she can make the beam final at World's. Depth is concerning but if GG can get back to her best, there is a very competitive team with Ruby/Kate/Bre.

 

[irichluck21]

Kate I think had double front, front double full, back 2.5

 

[BB12]

Kate I think had double front, front double full, back 2.5

I only think of her as a UB/BB girl so it was such a pleasant reminder seeing her routine.

 

[irichluck21]

If she could just get a solid VT she would be top ten AA at Worlds material

 

[Ms Motts]

All I could think on both days of the Aus champs is that Kate needs a vault. She could have done a neat level 8 vault and scored herself an AA medal at this year’s Nats. (Although this exposes the current lack of depth in the program, as only two gymnasts managed to crack 50). Ruby has teased a lot of great upgrades in her socials so I was a bit surprised by how watered down her routines were. I also thought that with those upgrades she’d be an outside AA threat at a post Olympics worlds.

Then I remembered that (unless she’s on a special schedule due to training requirements) she’s probably in her final year of highschool and in Australia that’s an incredibly high pressure year because it ends with high stakes external exams for every subject. Between that, post Olympics, and individual worlds, why not pull back and pace herself a bit.

I liked her leotard - I like how she uses colour and (relative) simplicity to create presence. And she has marvellous presence - looks comfortable and elegant on every apparatus. And she always looks like she is having fun, which is always nice to watch. I don’t like and have never liked her choreography - it’s just a bit too vague arm-wavy and I think it is difficult choreography for the gymnast to look fully engaged in. I am looking forward to seeing her with something new.

I love how clean Breanna Scott is, and how she’s been quietly and reliably working towards this for years. Her layout on beam was as textbook as they come. She has made some really smart upgrades too.

I am hoping (given the lack of depth) to see Kate Sayer and Romi Brown back, and that Kate, Bre, Ruby and Georgia keep going for next year’s worlds.

 

[Matilda23]

@BB12 Not sure what beam dismount Ruby is working on….she has competed the 1.5 twist for many years now.

@Ms Motts I heard Ruby stopped school last year or earlier this year to train full-time.

I’m also not a fan of Ruby’s usual choreography, hopefully her new routine will be an improvement.

I would love Breanna to make the beam final at Worlds, she was so close in Paris Olympics.

I was a bit surprised about no upgrades too but I'm glad they are taking it slowly. She's only 17 so no need to rush her progress, especially so early in the quad.

And I completely agree about her choreography. I'm very ready for her to get a new routine.

 

[Denn]

Huh? He totally can get less than 0.3 in deductions, and he probably DOES have one of the best scales in the world!

I actually thought of you when I saw that tweet.

 

[Aeris]

He's talked about how he has very pronated feet and loses his footing easily when trying to do a scale. It seems to be a work in progress that hasn't been solved yet.

 

[tempest]

I just turned 50 and I can still do a scale(I just tried lol)
However, when I competed, it was a requirement... I still point my toes every time they leave the floor hahaha
