Cottbus World Cup 2024, February 22-25 (Olympic Qualification)

That Nemour routine... I could watch her do that series of connections all day and never get bored

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

It's stunning. I live to see her on the Olympic podium.

 

[Sasha]

That was spectacular. Did she get credit for the Tkatch half? I couldn't see the turn initiation prior to regrasp, but I also don't think I have a very keen eye.

Edit: okay, watched again and I think there's a slight shoulder rotation prior to the regrasp.

 

[RedBirdie]

Here's another angle of Nemour's bars. Her technique and patience is just amazing. Her releases and transitions effortlessly float. Contrast that with Becky Downie who is absolutely wrenching on the bars for every skill and obviously working throughout the whole routine.

 

[Gymfan93]

Every time I watch Nemour, I’m equally astounded by her routine and the French federations shenanigans.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Blessing the gym gods that Nemour stays healthy and mentally prepared because I need to see this routine win UB finals in Paris.

 

[Jana]

Did anybody see this vault yesterday? Was it looking ok-ish?

 

[RedBirdie]

Emma Malabuyo is currently 6th on floor. Can't imagine she's going to make finals.

Emma Malabuyo is currently 6th on floor. Can't imagine she's going to make finals.

She's now in 10th with quite a few groups left to go on floor. It's possible she may not get any points with the FIG's dumb reallocation rules.

Can't find a video anywhere but these are her scores

Is this the same vault Davydova even sat down but still got it named?

 

[RedBirdie]

And only a 12.6 for Malabuyo on beam, so no final for her. Currently 11th, so once again at risk of earning 0 points.

 

[Gymfan93]

Can’t find the full routine yet, but Nemour went 14.133 on BB too:

 

[blake]

PBars is the last remaining hope for US finalist here. Hong just short of finals on vault.

Moerz (currently on 20 points), Kayisoglu and Bauyrzhanova (both on zero) will fight it out for the 30, 25 and 20 in the final.

Pinxten scores 18 (36 total), Mahmoud 16 (32 total), Malabuyo 14 (44 total), Williams 12 (24 total) and Hilton 10 (10 total). Laura Casabuena finished 19th and doesn't add anything to her 25 points from last week. Malabuyo and Moerz will be the top two after this round.

 

[Jana]

Is this the same vault Davydova even sat down but still got it named?

I don't know. I just follow her as she is originally from Belgium

 

[RedBirdie]

I think it is the same vault. The Davydova (full-twist on, front tuck off) has a 4.8 D, which was the D score of Motten's first vault. I can't think of any other vaults named after Davydova.

Seems she was given 6.9 Difficulty, which is her value when her Fenton is downgraded to a Ricna. So no credit.

 

[Bob]

Really glad Abi Martin has qual on vault and floor in her first Senior international. And pleased to see Halle Hilton up in 15th on floor. Kaylia Nemour is just lovely and precious and I want her and Helen Kevric to slay at Paris.

Also I want to be called Floor Sloof. Thats a great name.
