Ready and steady on Beam and the incredibly “springy” competition Floor.
They stag leap, Sissonne or do some random flutter kick out of near every landing, forward or backward. I can’t believe FIG is going to allow this trend to continue. (Though, actually, double pike to immediate split jump does look cool.)
Lauren is #1 on Beam and Floor at this meet according to the numbers.

Personally, I’d wager a Chinese gymnast will win Beam.
On the floor Peggy Liddick is large and in charge. Very much like Marta with the Americans.
Couch Gymnast is live blogging their training RIGHT NOW on Facebook.
… Update: Bars did not exactly go to Peggy’s plan. Wait ’til tomorrow.
