7:02 pm. Ilyankova UB- Saw it from the Tkachev, clear hip to Ricna to pak, great! Maloney, oh NO. In handstand she slipped onto the bar like onto her armpits?! That was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. Giant full to full-in. Almost done and that stupid fluke fall!!!
Golgota BB- I’m obsessed with her on vault and floor. I don’t think I’ve seen her on beam though. Great leap series. Wobble on side somi. Side aerial. Lovely switch half, though misses connection to back tuck. Great double tuck. YES!
Lapp FX- Swan Lake, yes please. She’s a gorgeous performer too. OH YES. OHHH YESSSSSS. Double pike skidded a little but I’m crying at how good she is performing this DEAR LORD. 2.5 to front tuck skidded back. Stumbled on her third pass a bit as well. Finished I think with a Rudi.

Cimpian BB- Hit everything I saw, including a turn with a wobble, and a bhs tuck full series. Side somi with a check. She’s very lanky and her movements are almost…broken? Not fluid. Like she’s a very angular gymnast and all I can think of is that she looks pointy in her movements if that makes sense. Hits dismount. She just looks like she’s grown a ton since I last saw her here, maybe that’s affecting her movement?
Khnifass FX- Ooh, very creepy style routine, thank you France. Piked full-in, good! Solid double pike. Good double tuck as well.
6:58 pm. Brassard VT- Clean FTY with a little hop back. Best vaulter of the bunch by far.

Botnaru BB- Clean full wolf turn. Bhs layout is piked but oh well. She hit it very well. Switch ring, stumble. Rest is good, double pike with a step back.

6:46 pm. Malabuyo BB- Goes for double wolf turn but loses it about halfway through and squats up out of it. Then gets back into position like yeah, I mean to do that. Bhs loso loso is solid. This is an excellent beam team, for real. Making up for last year’s worlds beam team, haha. Sheep jump. Punch front tuck. Standing arabian, side aerial, both great.Front aerial with pause into her jump series. Switch ring, back foot a little flexed. Double pike, chest low but whips it up.
