Ellie advanced to three apparatus finals, which will be held on Saturday. Dave Kikuchi told me she’s been on a big roll of late, hitting routines with ease.
On the other hand, she had two falls on Bars day 1. And fell on Vault day 2.
Victoria Moors decided to withdraw from day 2 competition.

Hambüchen, who won his seventh German all-around title on Sunday, took second on floor exercise behind Matthias Fahrig in Tuesday’s apparatus finals. Hambüchen filed an inquiry into his 6.2 Difficulty score, and the score was corrected to 6.3, putting him ahead of Fahrig. After Hambüchen was announced as the gold medalist, however, the D-score was once again changed back to 6.2, and he was told he waited too long to file the inquiry.
Here’s his list of best scores this quad. Unofficial, for sure.
Bonus points and inconsistent judging make it difficult to compare.
