A good meet, overall. I was impressed.
Mostly HIT routines.
MOST of the top apparatus specialists HIT. The finals will be epic.
Weirdly, Yulo took a zero on Vault. He landed on his back. That was right after having a flukey ping on Rings. The grips slipped. I don’t know whether the first fall had any effect on the second.
I was most impressed with Germany today. Despite losing Andreas Toba to injury in podium training, they found a way to put together a qualifying competition. #respect
Spain was terrific too. Turkey and Netherlands, as well.
Some nation is going to finish 13th. A huge disappointment.
China often doesn’t put much importance on the team qualification. But today was about the worst performance I can recall. They might not even make the Team Final 2023.
Kensley is reporting that that Lin Chaopan has flown in from China (Asian Games) and may be substituted in for team final.
We have Italy, Switzerland, Korea, Canada, France and others yet to compete. It’s a dogfight.
