UB - Jordyn Wieber USA - clean low bar work, pirouette on high worried me it was slow but clean and pulled through, nice tkatchev, great DLO dismount! Just a tiny hop Heard Vega hit her routine well too! They didn't show it :/

Vega got a 14.366

Douglas hits UB routine for USA! 3 for 3 great! Gets a 14.733.

BB - Sui Lu CHN - Beautiful combinations, leaps to sheep jump, switch leap back tuck, r/o double pike dismount low chest but good landing. Had a great punch front with a half turn in there, and side somi. Last girl was Jinnan Yao by the way.

FX - Koko Tsurumi JPN - Gorgeous first pass dancing out of it, her dance is just great. R/o 1.5 punch front full, very clean. Very nice double pike last pass.

Side interjection- Chinese women have NOT had good bars results this event. Don't know what's up- bars I'd say is their biggest strength, then beam.

Glad to see someone is awak with me here! haha

Rotating to third event now.

After second rotation - USA 90.681, RUS 89.187

BB - Vega USA - switch leap half turn, aerial nice, front aerial bhs layout s/o beautiful, punch front tiny check. I'm freaking out. Switch leap pike little check. Full turn, into jump combo. Switch ring tiny check. Stuck two to double pike dismount! Very nice routine. I get so nervous watching beam when it's so crucial like this ahh!

I LOVE THIS. Aly Raisman has Jordyn and McKayla in a huggle getting ready for their last event on floor. All smiling and she's giving them a pep talk. Great moment. Way to be a leader Aly.

FX - Chelaru ROM - Nice full in, little separations. Fun dance, she seems really excited. Double tuck, easy for her but hop back. Random front aerial in dance. Double pike last pass little hop forward. Nice routine.

 

[bradyelizabeth]

BB - Inshina RUS - Side somi wobble. Other tumbling good and cleaning, big check on switch ring but keeps up on the beam. Very nervous looking.

FX - Chelaru ROM - 14.233

 

[bradyelizabeth]

BB - Komova RUS - Punch front big check, leg up in air. Bhs two layout s/o and she comes off the beam! :/ Nice standing arabian back on beam though. No wavers in dance skills or side somi. GREAT double turn. Two to double tuck dismount, very low chest step forward. She looks very upset.

UB - Tweddle GBR - Great first combination releases, and pirouettes to second combo releases, step on full in dismount but great routine. Love her bars.

 

[bradyelizabeth]

FX - Ponor ROM - Quad turn? Okay nice. Double layout, a little bent in knees, nice full in little hop on landing. Confident in dance, some leaps looked a little shy of 180 but that could be the angle, she usually has good dance. Gets her triple full all the way around, a little sloppy in the air though. Nice routine.
