2025 World Gymnastics Championships, Apparatus Finals Day 1, October 24

[Denn]

Okay, 8.6 — they did hit him for those short holds. Not surprised... It's Worlds..

 

[Angelika]

Oh Harry

 

[Puffin]

Harry - hands down!

 

[Gymfan93]

Wish rings would hurry up and finish. I need to run out and it feels like these finals have gone on forever.

 

[Denn]

I had 7.9 for Harry... That dismount... Aaaawww....

His tuck position is pretty closed...

The have! I need to get back to work

 

[Denn]

Oh, wow, they had him down at 7.566. I was an overscore on that one.

 

[Livi]

Looked good up until the dismount!

 

[Beamer]

It's Don Don time!

 

[Denn]

I have 8.2 for the Belgian guy. The dismount, of course, was the source of most of the issues. But he also was pretty high as he entered his forward roll (whippet) to cross. And some unsteadiness here and there...

They probably will have him even lower, like 8.0?

 

[Livi]

Is he calling himself Don Don, or are we voluntarily choosing to call this 100+ kg absolute unit of a man Don Don?

Edit: Okay maybe not 100+, but that's due to his length. Guy is massive

 

[Denn]

Glen Cuyle gets 8.133, so my score was okay. I didn't think he could be a contender, but a better dismount... yeah, he would have been in there.

LOL, a lot of the gymnasts call him that, or at least refer to him that way, and it's spread to the fans and stuck...

 

[Denn]

That was awesome...

I have him at 8.9... And I forced myself to be tough. That exercise was awesome.

 

[Puffin]

Gold for Donell

 

[Hatsumomo]

Gold for Donnell!!!

 

[Rich]

great routine.

 

[Denn]

The open hands on the Maltese is HOT. It's not a huge scoring thing, but it's such a flex. and he starts that way, so it sets you up to say "Oh shit, this guy is going to be good."

 

[Aeris]

So wonderful for Donnell. Love how the dismounts gained more value in the new code. He took advantage of that!

 

[Beamer]

At age 30, finally World Champion! Ecstatic for Donnell!
