I’ll send a link to this pic to Kyle Shewfelt. (He never thinks the girls are fast enough on.)

Not bad. Korea’s Eum Eunhui:

Of a number of possible techniques, I like LOW on, HIGH off, the body musculature as “preloaded” as possible.
Oksana, age-35, quoted in today’s Worlds DAILY NEWS:
“I’ll retire after the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. Then I’m as old as Espen Jansen is now.
However I will perform as an all-around gymnast, I think. That would be a good closure.”
Amanda Turner – Preview: Chusovitina Leads Germany in Session 11
In Rotterdam she hit Beam. But did not do two Vaults to try to qualify to Finals on her best apparatus after messing up the first one.

Espen Jansen is age-41, but has only competed at 9 World Championships. He cannot retire or Oksana will beat him. Norway actually tried to replace him with younger guys this World Championships, but they still couldn’t defeat him in the trials.
So says Pedro Javier Lozada on Facebook based on her excellent competition tonight.
Jessica is 15th AA so far. She’ll qualify for the AA finals.
Brigid says she has one of the best triple twists on Floor out there. And her Team will qualify through to Worlds 2011, too. Gracias.
Via email from Leslie King of USAG:
The men’s line-up for the qualification round is:
floor exercise – Wynn, Brooks, Leyva, Horton, Legendre;
pommel horse – Leyva, Brooks, Legendre, Horton and Cameron;
still rings – Leyva, Legendre, Cameron, Horton and Wynn;
vault – Leyva, Brooks, Wynn, Horton and Legendre;
parallel bars – Wynn, Legendre, Horton, Brooks and Leyva;
horizontal bar – Legendre, Wynn, Brooks, Leyva and Horton.
Five men compete on each apparatus, with the top four scores counting. Three men will compete on all six events: Horton, Legendre and Leyva.
The U.S. men compete at 2 p.m. ET on Oct. 18.
This is what she used in prelims to qualify to the Bars final.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
She trained two or three more difficult variations, including double double tucked dismount. It will be interesting to see what she decides on for Finals.

OK, not ALL. But 80sgymfan posted a chart linking many, many WAG videos. Click through to see it.
Keishlieta Gymnastique (Mielieta Gonzalez) is updating a post of the top teams, each featuring a photo of the team leotard.
THE ALL AROUND:
… There are only 5 E panel judges. The highest and lowest scores are dropped, the remaining three averaged. This results in scores like 13.366 or 14.383.
In addition to the E panel judges there are two E reference judges whose scores are used if the difference between E scores is too big. …
I talked to one of the reference judges on Bars after day 1. She said they only rarely needed to use the reference scores. Evaluation was pretty consistent, she felt.
… Coaches told me they felt Bars was the most severely judged apparatus, so far.
The Men will also have reference judges. They’ve been added to all FIG disciplines, part of Grandi’s campaign for justice. (A campaign that swung into high gear after MAG judges bungled the 2004 Olympics.)
If you remix gymnastics video, you might want to grab these while they are up on the official website.
You can listen to and download the official music of the 2010 World Championships.
Michiel Hemmer and Martijne Huisman have composed this music around the theme of these Championships, named ‘Fantastic Gymnastics’.
