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

[ArnoldRimmer]

The Italians seem incapable of pirouetting without travelling half a mile down the bar. I don’t think Villa should beat Morgan, but one would assume Seitz will.

 

[Gymfan93]

Villa 14. Seitz will take bronze unless something goes very wrong.

 

[QuietColours]

14 for Villa. Same E as Morgan, lost on difficulty

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Ah no, Seitz face planted the jaegar. That’s going to be Morgan in bronze then.

 

[mnesiptolema]

Ouch, that looked like it would have really hurt too.

Though the more heartless side of me finds some amusement in the cameraman’s choice to show her disappearing, horizontal, in slow motion off the bottom of the screen, followed by a cloud of chalk dust.

 

[QuietColours]

So Nagnoryy is 4/4 on medals now, two gold and two silver?

 

[RAFIKI]

GB now have three individual world medallists, three individual European medallists and Jennifer Gadirova in contention for Tokyo. Have fun picking four selectors

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Honestly, for all that Amelie’s had a great week, I still don’t think it’s going to be a difficult choice IF everyone is healthy. If one of the Downies or Gadirovas is in that injured but can still do some events limbo however, that’s when it gets complicated.

 

[Seyonne]

Olympic selection will be difficult. However, I’m so happy the Brits have a deep enough program to make it so difficult. All in all, it’s a great problem to have.

 

[Gymfan93]

Iordache has withdrawn from BB and FX tomorrow. Sub for BB is Bachynska, for FX is Ceplinschi.

 

[tempest]

I like Steingruber and glad she won BUT why can’t gymnasts fucking point their toes anymore?

 

[Livi]

Ohhh that’s sad, but also totally reasonable.
I hope she ahs a quick recovery!

 

[irichluck21]

This is huge for GBR on the way toward Paris.
Becky is likely retiring after Tokyo.
With both Gadirovas, Morgan, and Ellie likely continuing on toward Paris the future for a team medal looks bright.

 

[Doug1233]

I hope Becky goes to Worlds too.

 

[Doug1233]

I’m hearing rumours that both Gadirova girls are learning Amanar and Cheng…

 

[Doug1233]

I’m also calling bullshit on the judges giving Steingruber and Gadirova pretty much the same E Score for their DTYs.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Those look like DTYs from people who train Amanars, so I can well believe it.

 

[Doug1233]

Yes. And, unlike Ellie, I think both Gadirova girls are much closer to an Amanar than a Cheng.

 

[RAFIKI]

I think she will if the Olympics goes wrong or doesn’t happen for her.

 

[Doug1233]

That 6.8 routine she posted yesterday is too good to not be an Olympic or World final this year.
