If Gelya hits, Becky’s out of UB finals.

No fall, but a big form break for Melnikova on the Van Leeuwan

 

[RedBirdie]

Big recovery by Urazova to post a 14.366 on bars for 5th.

No fall, but a big form break for Melnikova on the Van Leeuwan

Things started getting frantic elsewhere, too, yet the judges still went 8.166. No UB finals for Downie.

 

[QuietColours]

Retracted and disappointed Melnikova is apparently in finals ahead of Urazova???

 

[RedBirdie]

Some big time Olympic medalist love for Melnikova. The quick hits made it sound like a very messy routine, but she still got 6.3/8.166/14.466

 

[rue_des_plantes]

Phew, Urazova in by a third of a tenth. I can breathe more easily now.

 

[QuietColours]

I’m glad Urazova is in, disappointed that routine from Melnikova was the top scoring for the Russians. She’s better than that.

 

[rue_des_plantes]

Dare we say out loud that Russia’s one-touch on beam looked quite positive?

 

[upmysleeve]

Melnikova seems destined for bars gold, floor gold, AA gold.

 

[QuietColours]

Did Vlada have an acro series?

 

[Angelika]

Russia be Russia-ing on beam!

 

[Marcio_Custodio]

Vlada fell?

 

[Angelika]

No

 

[Angelika]

Embracing her inner Aliya

 

[rue_des_plantes]

Gelya’s beam routine was awesome, and then they added a ring back! Why?! Oh, well. She should still easily qualify for that set with a great score.

 

[Angelika]

Sheeeet - which Chinese spirit has overtaken Gelya’s BB exercise

 

[rue_des_plantes]

Vorona may not be everybody’s cup of tea (I remember some debate about her scores vs. Gerasimova’s on the old forum), but I like her a lot when she hits beam.

 

[QuietColours]

Vorona into beam finals; Murakami and Andrade tied D & E scores in 8th qualification means we’ll have 9 competitors there

 

[QuietColours]

And Konnor would have made beam finals if not for two-per. Bittersweet for her
