I don't know if Roberson will be making teams after this year if Jones returns, Hardie improves, Blakely is back to four events, and we have a senior Lavi Crain to contend with. But yes, I don't think she will be punished for being injured.

Just finished watching on catch-up. The Japanese floor rotation was a real delight

 

[QuietColours]

I'd argue Japan has the most enjoyable floors period right now

They really perform out there - and no pointless arm waving.

Those are a lot of “if’s”.

Navas had a mare. She's got an average of 12.549, because her Mustafina got downgraded and then did only a layout Yurchenko for the 2nd? Although in this field, qualifying 8th isn't out of the question?

The idea of anyone qualifying for a World Championships event final with a layout Yurchenko makes me weep bitter tears. Can we just give the gold to Maroney or Shushunova (postumously)?

No! Give it to Natalia Yurchenko!

Was it 2022 or 2023 when Rebeca balked her Amanar in quals and we were arguing over the shape of the Yurchenko-single-salto because if it had been a layout, she would have scraped into the final?

2022. Happily she took the gold in 2023!
