11:39 am. Alice D’Amato ITA UB: Good handstand before the toe full to Maloney to Tkachev, stalder piked Tkachev to Pak, GREAT handstand before the van Leeuwen, clean, blind change to front giant to front full pirouette, to double front, deep with a hop back. Really strong routine, a couple of little things, but overall a fantastic set. 14.600 (6.3, 8.300)

That’ll move her to first by over two tenths ahead of teammate Elisa Iorio!

11:37 am. Zoja Szekely HUN UB: Inbar full to Komova II, doesn’t get quite the lift she needs and sits down on the mat. Such a bummer!! Does it again to a Pak, clean on both, to Chow to Gienger, some leg form and a little rushed. Blind change to piked Jaeger, short on the half turn before the toe full to full-in, great landing. 12.700 (6.1, 6.600)

11:34 am. Nathalie Westlund SWE UB: Maloney to blind full, slightly late there, toe-on Tkachev to Pak, great handstand before the van Leeuwen, slight leg form, clear hip to a lovely handstand, blind change to straddle Jaeger, really nice, another perfect handstand, a little short when she turns out of it to get into position for the dismount, lovely double layout dismount. 13.700 (5.6, 8.100)

11:32 am. Warmups for the second half!

11:29 am. Helen Kevric GER UB: Inbar full to Komoa II, a little rushed but connects well, inbar half to piked Jaeger, nice so far! Arched over the handstand before the stalder piked Tkachev, caught REALLY close with bent elbows but good save, gets the Pak, van Leeuwen was nice, good handstand before the giants to full-in, small step forward. Good routine, some mistakes that will take her score down a little, but overall such a fabulous routine and great fight. 13.866 (6.2, 7.666)

11:25 am. Elisa Iorio ITA UB: Great handstand before the stalder Tkachev to Pak to Maloney to stalder half to Ezhova to Chow half, DAMN OKAY! A little short on the handstand before the blind change to front giant, gets the full pirouette around into the double front, FANTASTIC. 14.366 (6.3, 8.066)

11:23 am. Filipa Martins POR UB: Toe full, some hip form, to Maloney to Pak, clean there. Very nice lift on the van Leeuwen. Clear hip to blind change to piked Jaeger, good! Lovely double layout with a little bounce in place. This was SO CALM AND LOVELY!!! 13.700 (5.4, 8.300)

11:19 am. Becky Downie GBR UB: Short handstand before the toe full to Tkachev (I couldn’t see the entry from the angle we had) to mixed grip to Ezhova to Maloney to Hindorff, PHEW!!! Just minor form throughout. But then falls on the stalder piked Tkachev. UGHHHH. Back on for a van Leeuwen, and a full-in dismount with a hop. 13.633 (6.6, 7.033)

11:17 am. Warmups underway!

7. Marlene Gotthardt, Germany, 13.166
8. Sara Peter, Hungary, 13.033

10:53 am. Camille Rasmussen DEN VT: Yurchenko double full, leg form is pretty rough throughout, lots of crossing, and she goes crooked off the table, taking a big step OOB and off the mat.13.333 (5.0, 8.633, -0.3)

Second vault is a tsuk full, kind of goes horizontal off the table almost, I gasped for a second, form is also a bit weak in terms of the piked hips. 13.066 (4.4, 8.666)

13.199 average.

10:50 am. Karina Schönmaier GER VT: Yurchenko half-on front layout half, form is actually pretty solid throughout, her hips are great! Maybe too open right when she comes off the table, gets a little banana-esque. Hop back on the landing. 13.566 (4.8, 8.866, -0.1)

Yurchenko full is lovely, not super powerful but she floats nonetheless and lands it super well. Great flare before the landing, just a small hop back. 13.366 (4.2, 9.166)

13.466 average.

10:46 am. Ana Barbosu ROU VT: Yurchenko double full, looks much better than it did in prelims from what my brain remembers? Leg form throughout, a bit piked down, not a ton of power, but landed really well. 13.700 (5.0, 8.700)

Second vault is a tsuk 1.5, fully tucks her legs for the second half of the flight and her hips are a bit closed, but I don’t think enough to downgrade? 13.633 (4.8, 8.833)

13.666 average.

10:42 am. Coline Devillard FRA VT: Handspring rudi, some leg form throughout and lands with her chest down, but nice flare going into the landing, which is SUPER solid! 14.366 (5.4, 8.966)

Tsuk full for the second vault, some wide leg separation in the pre-flight, but it’s otherwise pretty decent, lunge back on the landing. 13.366 (4.4, 8.966)

13.866 average to move into first!

10:39 am. Warmups for the second half underway now!

10:37 am. Marlene Gotthardt GER VT: Yurchenko 1.5, nice pop off the table, some leg form throughout in the air, and a massive hop forward. 13.400 (4.6, 8.800)

Second vault is a handspring front tuck full, her run got weirdly slow as she approached the table, I thought for a split second she was going to balk! Pretty clean throughout in air, minor leg form I guess, not super powerful, hop forward. 12.933 (4.2, 8.733)

13.166 average.

10:36 am. Valentina Georgieva BUL VT: Hit the Yurchenko double (I didn’t see it but her score is good at a 14.066) and then a clean tsuk layout full! 13.533 (4.4, 9.133)

13.799 average.

10:35 am. I had it in my head that this was starting at 10:45 am ET but ALAS I was off by 20 minutes. Glad I caught it halfway between the two! Here’s what we (I) missed…

Ming van Eijken FRA VT: 13.699

Sara Peter HUN VT: 13.033
