British WAG (and MAG!) talk

[Gymfan93]

I didn’t realise it was top 13- thought it was much fewer. That makes it a lot more open!

So far, this twitter user is posting routines from the English championships, especially from the top contenders:

Was just coming here to post that! She’s doing a great job.

The Gadirovas are looking strong for so early in the season. Even during Jennifer’s beam, everything aside from the fall was solid. I’m excited for what they can do this year, but also slightly concerned because this is four months off any major competitions and it’ll be a long slog from summer to worlds. Glad in a way that Jennifer sat out vault.

Also I really want Ondine on a major team this year.

Also I really want Ondine on a major team this year.

She will likely make Worlds IMO.

 

[Doug1233]

Oh no no no with these sideways jumps.



Neither get credit. It goes from D-D + 0.2 down to B-B 0.0 . Even if she connected them.

 

[Doug1233]

Jennifer would get the Split Jump 1/2 but IMO not the Straddle half.



They’re basically doing the same routine!

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Yeah I think maybe a lot of people are going to be learning the sideways jump lesson the hard way this year.

On another point, how interesting is Jess Daykin’s dismount combo? I don’t remember ever seeing anyone attempt that before.

 

[Doug1233]

Dawes into Double Full!

 

[Doug1233]

The Gadirovas are literally doing the same beam routine.

Switch - Switch Half - Korbut
Front Aerial - Split - Straddle
BHS LOSO LOSO
Aerial Cartwheel
Split 1/2 Cross, Straddle 1/2 Cross
RO Double Pike

The only difference is that Jennifer puts her Aerial Cartwheel before her Front Aerial.

They almost have the same floor too:

DLO
Silivas/Full In Tuck
Front Lay/Full to Double Tuck
Switch Full
Split Leap Full/Gogean
Split Jump Full/Popa

Jessica’s is like the upgraded version!

I wish Jennifer would put her arms in on the DLO…

As opposed to Jessica’s:

 

[Doug1233]

Jen has a new double front dismount! Upgraded from the DOuble Pike last year.



Jess’ bars look tired. Not great.



HUGE vault from Jess

 

[Doug1233]

Wow Jess got a 54.65 even with that skank bar routine. Would have won Winter Cup!


5.000 + 9.25 = 14.25
4.800 + 9.25 =14.05


5.700 + 7.55 = 13.25


5.500 + 7.6 = 13.1


5.7 + 8.35 = 14.05

AA Total - 54.650

Also training the Dawes into a triple twist:

It’s more efficient to do the same as we’ve seen with Russian bar routines. Not as interesting or fun for us.

 

[Gymfan93]

looking at the live scores, Becky Downie performed on FX. 12.6

That actually isn’t a bad score!

ETA: 4.5 D and 8.1 E!

She’s going clean and simple. That’s my girl!!

Let me guess:

Double Arabian E = 0.5
Front Full = 0.3
1.5 through to 2/1 = 0.6
3 x C Dance = 0.9; 1 x B dance = 0.2
2.0 CR
No DMT bonus

= 4.5

[Doug1233]

Argh I was so close!

3/2 through to Double Tuck 0.1
Front Full
Memmel attempt (downgrade to Single Y)
Switch Ring to Split Full
Triple Turn
Double Wolf
Switch Half

CD1C/CCCDC = 2.7 + 2.0 + 0.0 = 4.7

I assume they didn’t credit the Wolf Double and she counted the B instead of the D? I think I would have just given it, although its hard to see from this far away.

If she did the Front Full first, and went straight back with the 3/2 to Double Tuck, she would go up 0.2.

She should nix the Memmel attempt. She’s never gonna get it IMO. She barely gets credit for the Single Y on beam.

I’d also take out the triple turn. It’s risky, and its not worth the tenth more than a Switch Leap. Her Switch Ring looks ok from this video so I wouldn’t be too worried about it getting downgraded.

I think…

 

[Doug1233]

She got a 6.3 D + 7.3 E on bars = 13.6…

 

[Doug1233]

Alice did pretty well. 53.25 would have gotten her third ahead of Frazier at Winter Cup.

DTY 8.85 = 13.75
5.3 + 7.9 = 13.2
5.6 + 7.15 = 12.75
5.3 + 8.25 = 13.55

Did she fall on beam? If so, the scores look a little loose.
