Also did a Yurchenko double, still some form in the air but much better on ALL accounts than the Cheng. Averaged a 13.975.

5:58 pm. Touch for the second half!

5:54 pm. Simone Biles FX: Full-twisting double layout, strong landing. This looks MUCH better as her first pass compared to where it was in her classics routine! It looked a bit labored there, I think as her second or third pass? Front full through to double double, CASUAL? Hit her leap pass, then a Biles, big step forward OOB. Switch full. Finishes with a Double layout, hop back. 14.800

5:52 pm. Kaliya Lincoln BB: Double wolf turn, not bad! Bhs layout, solid! Front aerial, pause, split jump to straddle jump. Switch, little wobble, doesn’t connect to the switch half. Good side aerial. Strong double pike, step back. 13.250

5:49 pm. Levi Jung-Ruivivar BB: Got the wolf turn around. Big wobble on the flight series but had a great fight through it. Switch leap to split leap, always love her leaps. Hit the front aerial to split jump. Got the dismount. 12.300

Jordan Chiles FX: Strong 1.5 through to full-in! Double layout, maybe a little low in her set, but not bad, hopped back. Front layout through to double tuck, a few steps back OOB, and a double pike to finish, maybe a little short, but I’ll chalk that up to endurance. 13.100

Shilese Jones UB: Stalder full to Chow to Tkachev, nice. Toe full to Downie to Pak, slight leg form on the latter. For the dismount she had a front giant to double front, cowboyed but stuck!! 14.900!

5:45 pm. Zoe Miller FX: Strong double layout to start. Hit the full-in and double full after. Double tuck ended up low, looked like she put her hand down but I couldn’t see if it actually touched the mat, bars is blocking me for that corner, sorry! 11.800

Kayla DiCello BB: Had a wobble on the tour jeté half I tihnk it was? Bhs loso loso with a wobble as well. Short on the switch half, and a wobble again. Front aerial doesn’t connect to the jump series. Ughhh, sat the double pike. 11.700
