Cintia Rodriguez – Floor

The highlight of the first subdivision for me was watching Cintia have a good all-around competition. She was underscored on Floor.

8.1 E score on this routine?

What most gymnasts do poorly Cintia does superbly. Yet there’s little credit for excellence in form and flexibility.

The Swiss are as good as any nation on H Bar these days. Smart clean routines.

I was pleased to see very few fugly Rybalko elements. Judges are actually deducting for angles this cycle.

BELYAVSKIY – for example – has a relatively easy routine with only one turning skill to handstand.

Pommels & Rings will be very strong Finals. Horizontal Bar likely the weakest. Many of the best guys competing the big overbar releases missed. Or fell.

We’re still waiting on official apparatus finals lists.

Though Oleg leads he was somewhat off on many of his routines. He’s not the qualifier on P Bars for example.
