They are using 7 judges and averaging the middle 5. I actually thought that was coming to more competitions. It makes for slightly more precise scores that only need two decimal places AND don't truncate anything. MUCH better. I've been calling for this for years, and I am pleasantly surprised to see China doing it but not FIG.

Can't believe that Xiao Ruoteng went out with such a bang. Wonder if the judges gave him a little more than they needed to (with Zhang Boheng faltering).
 
Zhang Boheng was in the lead by .566 going into the 6th rotation. He would have won with a hit HB, that routine was his only major miss. It was seeded like Worlds/Olympics, so Xiao Ruoteng went 3rd to last, then Sun Wei, then Zhang Boheng was the final competitor on high bar.

That was such a bitter-sweet moment for me. I am so glad for the redemption - but you can almost see in her action on returning to the start, of, "Why couldn't I do that a few weeks ago?".
But also, thought she was going to blow out the knee on that second vault. Glad for her win, glad her knee survived.
 
I'm so happy with the UB results. Qiu Qiuyuan isn't quite back to her '23-'24 standard, but I didn't expect her to look even half this good. I was also thrilled to see Zhong Qi win an individual medal (I try not to get attached to juniors, but I really like her), and I'm pleased that Qin Xinyi got the bronze (really wish she'd gone to Worlds instead of Zhou Yaqin).
