EF day 1: MAG fx/ph/sr WAG vt/ub

[Livi]

Good work from Urazova. Just two hesitations on her turns. And a big hop on the dismount

 

[QuietColours]

It looked like she was trying so hard to be perfect in handstands that she gave herself a couple of rhythm errors. But her usual beautiful swing and form

 

[Livi]

14,333. If Melnikova hits that won’t be enough

 

[QuietColours]

Very nice from Morgan!

 

[Livi]

Solid from Amelie Morgan

 

[Gymfan93]

Morgan with a PB of 14.1. Not enough for a medal unless everyone else bombs, but she’s hanging a great week!

 

[Livi]

Nooooo Filipa Martin’s falls on her Ezhova. The problems started already on the high bar. Two close catches

 

[QuietColours]

Martins off on the Ezhova. Looked off from the release. Really disappointing she couldn’t cap off her competition with another great routine–she’s had such a good week up to here

 

[mnesiptolema]

And off a second time

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

She didn’t fully rotate the Tweddle, so the Ezhova went wrong. Beth herself is commentating, and was too modest to refer to the skill by her name! Called it a Tkatchev half. Either way, fuck up and I am gutted.

 

[Livi]

Too be honest I thought this was the Martins? Because of the entry.

 

[QuietColours]

I thought a Tweddle was a toe-on and Martins does a clear hip entry?

 

[Livi]

I do think the catch was too close by the way, and as a result, she couldn’t complete the turn (because of the bent arms)

 

[Livi]

Melnikova hit! Nice routine

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Possibly, I may very well have got the skill entry wrong there. It’s happened before!

Melnikova missed the opening combo so the D score will suffer a bit, but yeah, that’s the best in the final so far and probably she’s going to be the winner.

 

[QuietColours]

14.5 for Melnikova and into first

 

[mnesiptolema]

I should have realised long before now that Alice D’Amato’s name would not be pronounced the same way Alice Kinsella’s is.

 

[Livi]

Nice work from D’Amato, but big step on the dismount

 

[QuietColours]

13.7 for D’Amato. The main question now is if Morgan can hold onto the bronze against Villa and Seitz

 

[Gymfan93]

Seitz would need to have a big error I think.
