Minamino Yume was an absolute delight. I came to watch Colas take over the world, but was not unhappy with the end result.

What's the name of the skill that Minamino does before the LO Jaegar 1/1, the sort of stoop through to giant? I feel like we haven't seen that in years in WAG.

Jam dislocate? Memmel did it into her dismount. I think Chusovitina was the first female to do it, back in 1991 but it’s in the code as a Luo

Thank you! Yang from elgrip is mind-boggling.

What is it with all the over exaggerated face in Japanese floor exercises?

What is it with all the over exaggerated face in Japanese floor exercises?

I think they are drawing on traditional Japanese theatre - like noh where the actors wear masks showing exaggerated expressions. The plays are quite difficult to understand because of their old fashioned language, and they were traditionally performed by candlelight, so storytelling through big gestures and dramatic expressions is important.

I really like the idea of Japan developing a style like this on floor. I hope they will sort out their selection processes and become a gymnastics superpower (in WAG too, I mean!)

Men's floor exercise final results:

1. Yang Lanbin (CHN) - 13.833
2. Simone Speranza (ITA) - 13.766
3. Karl Jahrel Eldrew Yulo (PHI) - 13.733
4. Arsenii Dukhno (AIN) - 13.633
5. Wang Chengcheng (CHN) - 13.566
6. Danila Leykin (USA) - 13.466
7. Nathan Roman (USA) - 12.733
8. Noam Berkovich (ISR) - 11.533

Yulo was a heavy favourite on this apparatus alongside Dukhno. But he sustained an injury during the AA finals, so it was kinda expected that he'd be out of medal contention. Dukhno's faulty 2nd pass proved to be a costly mistake.

Lanbin didn't really have to do anything different. The top 3 during qualifications (Dukhno, Yulo, Berkovich) clearly struggled.

Women's vault final results:

1. Lavi Crain (USA) - 13.683
2. Misa Nishiyama (JPN) - 13.633
3. Alexia Blanaru (ROU) - 13.566
4. Mia Proietti (ITA) - 13.483
5. Elena Colas (FRA) - 13.300
6. Yume Minamino (JPN) - 13.149
7. Aniela Tudor (ROU) - 13.049
8. Albina Aliyeva (AZE) - 12.466

Arseni Dukhno got a mention on the morning news in Moscow and they showed a bit of his floor exercise. I took a video but it’s too big to upload (it’s only 15 seconds).

UB Final. A lot of errors. The 3 medalists were the only ones to perform cleanly.

Is Lavi Crain the first individual gold medallist at the world championships from GAGE gym?

It looks like a lot of his routines are up on YouTube.

I believe so.

 

[RedBirdie]

I just realized the US junior WAGs still have last season's leo kit. They didn't get the leos the seniors had for worlds. That's a change from the past and ai wonder why they did that.

I love Piliarova medaling in second place on bars soooo much.

Just the best thing - can’t wait to see her at Euros next summer.
