Simone Biles
[Vault 1] [Vault 2] [Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

Her Vault is freaking perfection. No one gets her height. Her bars were messy, beam was a bit cautious and her floor as bouncy as ever but she can’t be beat when she hits. The funny thing is she seems to be spending a lot of time out of training and still wins by this much.

Mykayla Skinner
[Vault] [Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

Mykayla has a way to go but for a girl who just started back doing Elite after spending an entire season doing NCAA with a meet a week she looks amazing. She didn’t have the energy for a last pass on floor which is why the score was so low ( some messy landings and OOB) but her Amanar looked great (a little over-rotated) and she stayed on beam. IMO, She had the best vault of the meet next to, you know who.

Leanne Wong
[Vault] [Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

Found her a bit underscored here compared to what I thought she would be getting especially on bars. Thought her beam was lowballed compared to others. Floor was messy and overscored if she was competing outside the US.

Sunisa Lee
[Vault] [Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

Bars are a bit laboured but she hit and no dismount on beam.

Riley McCusker
[Vault] [Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

Overscored per usual. Beam was clean but not a 15

Grace McCallum
[Vault] [Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

The Bridget Sloan of 2019. Just keeps on hitting. Her first pass on floor was very short. Anyone else think her form is improving? She’s my dark horse for next year.

Jade Carey
[Vault 1] [ Vault 2 ][Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

Bars looked great compared to her past ones. Her Vaults are gross and completely overscored. NO WAY she deserved the big score.

Jordan Chiles
[Vault] [Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

Same old self. No control.

Trinity Thomas
[Vault] [Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

Still my favorite beamer of the quad. Steady as can be. I love her presence on beam.

Morgan Hurd
[Vault] [Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

I didn’t watch floor yet but felt her beam got hammered. Her bars were overscored. Watched floor. No double double. Only a 5.1 start value. Still nursing an injury?

Kara Eaker
[Vault] [Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

Didn’t watch.

Gabby Parea
[ Vault] [ Bars] [Beam] [Floor]

Didn’t watch.

I might do a blog for the Senior competition but honestly, they blocked the US fans from watching the International feed and it will be a cold day in hell I sit through, Nastia or whatever College has-been they decide to commentate on the Olympic channel. There is no mention in any of these articles where the actual competition will be seen or I’m missing it. My computer vin isn’t working. It’s all glorious here in “title town”
