Assuming today’s results are final now (its 1am in Qatar), the unusual format means we have directly comparable scores for everyone at the halfway stage, with everyone having competed on the same apparatus on day 1.
MAG team medals are very much still up for grabs:
China 126.000
Taiwan 124.900
Japan 123.533
South Korea 123.300
Kazakhstan are two points ahead of Uzbekistan and Iran for the fifth and final team spot at Worlds.
Carlos Yulo leads the AA standings (this is for Worlds qualification for him as well, with the Philippines team out of the running down in 8th) ahead of two Chinese gymnasts Yin Dehang and Yang Jiaxing but there are a lot of people quite tightly packed together at the top.
WAG team:
China 83.433
South Korea 80.167
Japan 79.833
Taiwan 75.033
With only four team qualification places available for the women and Taiwan having more than four points gap over fifth and sixth place (again) Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan this looks like the four who will be going to Worlds.
Wei Xiaoyuan leads the AA (and bars with a 15.000), followed by Tang Xijing and Zhang Jin. Lee Yunseo of Korea is the best placed non-Chinese competitor in 4th.
I suppose no one really knows because there is no information about this competition, but would teams be able to decide their line ups for tomorrow now after seeing the first day of results? So if say China hadn’t planned for all of their top 3 to do AA can they change their mind now?
