4:56 pm. Touch for the second half!

4:52 pm. Tiana Sumanasekera BB: Candle mount. Bhs bhs layout, strong landing. Front aerial to split jump to Korbut, really nice there. Switch to switch half, a little short and a bobble there. Split ring jump, shape isn’t quite there. Side aerial was strong, doesn’t really connect to the wolf jump, and has a wobble there. Sissone. Full turn. Double pike, great landing, just moves a foot slightly. 13.300

4:48 pm. Jade Carey FX: Full-twisting double layout, step back. Dobule double, some leg form. Front layout through to a strong double pike. Double tuck to finish. 13.100

Joscelyn Roberson BB: Strong standing full! Switch to switch half to back tuck, a little short on the leaps. Side aerial loso loso, little bobble. Had a couple of little things on everything else I saw, double pike dismount was pretty good, looked like a little step there. 13.200

Ashlee Sullivan UB: Missed a release sadly, but that’s all I saw. 9.950

4:46 pm. Kelise Woolford UB: Toe full, some crossed ankles, Maloney to Pak, nice.

Hit a stalder after, and then a full-in dismount with a stumble back. 12.000

4:44 pm. Charlotte Booth FX: Front double full, good rotation and landing. Had to kind of run forward out of her second pass. Double tuck was really deep and back on her heels, ends up sitting it. 11.200

Kayla DiCello UB: Toe full to Chow to clear hip to big Church, nice! Blind change to piked Jaeger. Great handstand before the Pak. Clean van Leeuwen. She’s killing it. Full-in, nearly stuck, just takes a baby step. Amazing job from her! 13.800

Switch to switch half to split ring jump, lovely connections. Side aerial loso loso, slight adjustment at the end of the series. Switch ring, a little slow to the split leap, but overall she is crushing it. Tucked gainer full off the end, this was freaking STUNNING.

4:30 pm. Simone Biles UB: Weiler half to Maloney to kind of a wild full pirouette into the piked Tkachev to Pak, van Leeuwen, toe full was fine today, to full-in, tiny hop! That first series looked like it was done on a wing and a prayer, just rushing a bit too much. But of course she got it under control! 14.050
