It was fun to watch the host nation at home. They are under tremendous media scrutiny.
After 9/12 preliminary sessions:
USA 235.038
CHN 230.753
RUS 228.135
Much like most pundits predicted.
China won Beam and Bars. But fell too far behind USA on Vault and especially Floor to be competitive. Floor was even weaker than anticipated. Where is Cheng Fei?
We felt badly for CHEN Siyi. She fell on the first 3 apparatus. Managed to stay on her feet on Vault.
Despite a big wobble, fan favourite Bai Yawen made the Beam final.
YAO Jinnan and BAI Yawen will make the Beam final.
YAO Jinnan and HUANG Huidan the Bars final.
YAO Jinnan and SHANG Chunsong the AA final.
