9:11 am. Alice Kinsella is still in the lead with a 38.550, nearly a point up from Poppy Stickler, but Ondine Achampong, Georgia Godwin, and the Canadians are still to come on beam.
9:10 am. I think we’re going into the touch for the second half now.

8:54 am. Alice Kinsella ENG BB: Switch leap mount, minor check but covers it well. Front aerial, oh no, side aerial, but then goes crooked into the loso and she just comes right off of the beam. Doesn’t get into a single loso. Does a back handspring when she gets back on, but she doesn’t have a flight series now. Double wolf turn. Switch leap, misses the connection, gets the switch half on its own with a bobble. Split jump to wolf jump. Double pike is deep with her chest at her knees. 11.000 (4.7, 6.400, -0.1 ND)
8:53 am. Naveen Daries RSA FX: They jumped into this super quickly so I missed the beginning. Didn’t sound like she had any falls or major issues though. Oh, I missed ALL of it, just saw the last bit of her dance. 12.700 (4.8, 7.900)

8:44 am. Emma Spence CAN UB: Great handstand before the toe full to Maloney to Pak (a bit arched in the air) to van Leeuwen, some leg form, great handstand before the blind change to straddle Jaeger, stuck double tuck! Great work. 12.950 (5.0, 7.950)
8:40 am. Shannon Archer SCO UB: Nice handstand before the Maloney to bail to toe-on, arches it over but controls it back before the toe shoot, but doesn’t get the momentum needed to reach the high bar and misses it, nooooo! Short handstand before the blind change to big straddle Jaeger, too close on the catch which causes a leg form break, blind full, and a full-twisting double layout with a hop. 11.400 (5.0, 6.400)

8:32 am. Emily Whitehead AUS UB: Toe full, doesn’t make it to handstand at the start and has to jump off. It’s great the second try, to Maloney to Pak, van Leeuwen with some knee form, blind change to Khorkina, blind change and releases VERY low into the double front, I really didn’t think she was going to get that around, but she lands it, albeit super deep. Not sure if she touched the mat…looking at the replay now and yeah, her hands went down. 10.950 (4.8, 6.150)
8:31 am. Nadine Joy Nathan SGP BB: Punch front mount is great, switch half, side aerial loso, break at the hips but stays steady. Punch front tuck is solid. Switch leap with a low back leg, into a split to straddle jump, a little shy of 180. Great connections, though! Full turn, strong double full, this was great overall! The leaps are gonna get her though. 11.600
8:29 am. Emma Yap SGP BB: I wasn’t typing at the beginning of this but she came off on her flight series. Hit everything else pretty well, 1.5 dismount was stuck, just some form in the air. 11.500 (4.9, 6.600)
8:25 am. Tara Donnelly IOM BB: Full turn, nailed the bhs loso! Front aerial with a slight bobble, and then a bigger bobble going into some of her choreo, switch leap to split jump to wolf jump, a little low on a couple of those, side aerial with a slight check, switch half isn’t quite there but stable landing. 1.5 dismount stuck! Ooh, that’s excellent. 11.850 (4.5, 7.350)
8:22 am. Caitlin Rooskrantz RSA UB: Shaposh to pak, lovely. Great handstand before the van Leeuwen, oh no, she’s just a bit too far away and slips off. Back on and hit a Jaeger and Ray, blind full, and a full-out with a deep landing and lunge forward. 12.150 (5.3, 6.850)
8:21 am. Poppy Stickler WAL UB: Toe full, some form breaks, before Maloney to Pak, some flexed feet, van Leeuwen with some ankle form, blind change with leg separation into the piked Jaeger, rushed a handstand out of it, double tuck was nice, step back. 12.700 (4.9, 7.800)

Great handstand before the Maloney to Gienger, some leg separation and not a ton of height, toe full to arabian dismount, good landing! Wow. Really long wait for her score. 13.700 (5.8, 8.200, -0.3 ND)
Not sure what the penalty was there? Someone just said she was still chalking up when the timer had gone green and either possibly didn’t notice or wasn’t quite ready, so she then ran over to salute quickly and mount but possibly was late to do so.
8:11 am. Ondine Achampong ENG UB: A little short in the handstand before the inbar to inbar half to straddle Jaeger, really nice, good handstand before the Downie to Pak, a bit of a break in her form and she catches a bit close, full pirouette, doesn’t connect to the Chow, short handstand before giants to full-out, chest at her knees with a lunge forward. 13.250 (6.0, 7.250)
8:10 am. Jea Maracha WAL BB: Jump to a split for her mount, double wolf turn, little bobbles, bhs loso with some knee form, front aerial with a pause into the split jump to Korbut, side aerial a little short with a bobble, lovely scale in her choreo, switch to sissone, a little slow in the connection, 1.5 with a little bounce forward. 12.200 (4.6, 7.600)

8:02 am. They’ve stopped showing pretty much everyone on bars, but finally we’re back over there now that vault is done!
Ruthuja Nataraj IND UB: Toe-on to Ray, misses the catch. Back on for a bail (a little short) to toe shoot, caught close and goes into a dead hang, kip cast back to handstand before a blind change to front half, blind full, and a layout dismount, stuck. 10.000
Other bars scores…
Nadine Joy Nathan 12.050
Emma Yap 10.850
Milka Gehani 10.500
8:01 am. Emma Spence CAN VT: Yurchenko 1.5, the best forward-facing vault we’ve seen in this final in terms of her body position on the landing! A little bend in her knees in the air but her chest position is in a perfect place on the landing, just a small hop forward. 13.550 (4.6, 8.950)
7:59 am. Shannon Archer SCO VT: DTY, mostly strong form in the air, just minor separation and bend, mostly in the second rotation. Not the landing she had yesterday, but the hop back isn’t bad at all, maybe a foot or two. 13.700 (5.0, 8.700)
7:58 am. Laurie Denommée CAN VT: Yurchenko 1.5, opposite problem of Whitehead, leaning a bit forward on the landing and takes a huge hop forward. In the air her knees are pretty soft as well. 13.200 (4.6, 8.600)
7:56 am. Emily Whitehead AUS VT: Yurchenko 1.5, lands with her feet too far ahead of her, and has to take several steps back to keep it upright, kind of similar to what happened with Godwin, but her steps are much more severe, two really big lunges back off the mat. 12.450 (4.6, 8.150, -0.3)
7:55 am. Caitlin Rooskrantz RSA VT: FTY, good form in the air, legs look good, just pikes down a bit near the end, hop and lunge back out on the landing. 12.850 (4.2, 8.650)
7:53 am. Tatiana Bachurina CYP UB: Straddle Jaeger was nice, toe full to Pak, ugh, a bit close and she has to pause on the bar and kip cast back to handstand, then arches that over and comes off. Toe shoot, and a double tuck with a small hop. 10.900 (4.5, 6.400)
7:51 am. Touch warmups for the second half of this rotation.
The English are in the lead at the moment, with a 13.9 for Achampong and a 13.85 for Kinsella, and then it’s Godwin with 13.3 and Stickler with 12.85.
7:49 am. Naveen Daries RSA UB: Toe full to Maloney to Gienger, some hip and leg form, blind change to big straddle Jaeger, very nice, hip form on the swing into the Pak is a little off, toe-on to toe shoot, and a layout double full with a good landing. Her hips just need to be straighter on basically everything, I bet she’s getting hammered on that, and without those deductions this routine would score so well! 12.800 (5.1, 7.700)
7:48 am. Tara Donnelly IOM UB: Blind change to piked Jaeger, a bit close and she tucks her legs, blind full, Pak, nice. Break at the hips in a handstand before turning into the toe shoot but she does an amazing job to pull back up into handstand, amazing fight. Double tuck dismount with a step. 11.100 (4.1, 7.000)
7:46 am. Poppy Stickler WAL VT: FTY, lots of power off the table, big lunge back, but looked really clean in the air, just a slight pike down. 12.850 (4.2, 8.650)
7:45 am. Alice Kinsella ENG VT: DTY, some leg separation onto the table, mostly good in the air, though. Legs look pretty glued? Just some slight knee bend. Hop back. 13.850 (5.0, 8.850)
7:43 am. Jea Maracha WAL UB: Good handstand before the van Leeuwen, leg form there, blind change to piked Jaeger, some knee form, bail to stalder to a great handstand to toe-on to toe shoot, nice, blind full has a bit of an adjustment, and then a double tuck with a small step. Great routine! 12.400 (4.6, 7.800)
7:42 am. Ondine Achampong ENG VT: DTY, very nice in the air, a little forward on the landing with a lunge forward as well. Just loses some leg form as she goes through the twists but mostly at the ankles, nothing super severe. 13.900 (5.0, 8.900)
7:41 am. Cara Kennedy SCO UB: Good handstand before the blind change to front half, Pak with some leg separation, clear hip half to toe shoot, she looks a lot cleaner than yesterday! Good handstand before a solid blind full to double tuck, little bounce. Not her strongest event but again the improvement was excellent. 11.450 (3.5, 7.950)
7:40 am. Georgia Godwin AUS VT: Tsuk 1.5, lands it a bit deep and has to take several steps back out of it to stay upright. Not as solid as yesterday, but at least she didn’t sit. 13.300 (4.8, 8.500)
7:39 am. Touch looks like it’s just wrapping up now.
7:36 am. Starting on vault – Godwin, Achampong, Kinsella, Stickler, Rooskrantz, Whitehead, Denommée, Archer, Spence
Starting on bars – Kennedy, Maracha, Daries, Donnelly, Bachurina, Yap, Nathan, Gehani, Nataraj
7:35 am. Athletes are being introduced now!
7:31 am. Little performance here before the athletes march out. I think this business took about 10 minutes yesterday with the performance, the march out, and the touch. Why not do all of this 10 minutes *before* the start time?
7:27 am. Well, I TRIED to make the MAG all-around final happen but when my alarm went off at 1:45 am after going to bed at 11 pm I just laughed and didn’t even bother with hitting snooze. Why don’t time zones respect me???
Jake Jarman ended up winning gold ahead of James Hall, which is very exciting for him! And then Marios Georgiou, who won a historic bronze with his team, won the all-around bronze as well, just slightly ahead of Felix Dolci of Canada in fourth place. No major surprises there, and it was nice to see Felix look stronger than he did in qualifications, where he had a couple mistakes.
