An exciting and impressive TEAM Final. Qualification for top 12 teams to the L.A. Olympics is going to be very competitive.
1. WG 2 165.430
2. Italy 161.796
3. France 159.263
4. Great Britain 157.764
5. Germany 156.664
6. Netherlands 152.995
7. Spain 150.130
8. Belgium 147.829
World Gymnastics 2 dominated. Best routines. VERY consistent.
Putin’s dictatorship does not seem to have suffered from being locked out of many international competitions for years.

Twitter kicked me off (for a while) for too many posts in one day. So I’ll post some random observations here.
- after a peaceful few days, this competition is loud and hectic. A 4 ring circus. First Floor music is AC/DC Highway to Hell. 😀
- arena not full — but it’s an enthusiastic, knowledgeable crowd
- European Championships 2027 will be in Albania
- Vaelen (Belgium) tumbles very, very well out of round-off
- Love Petisco’s choreography. It suits her so well.
- Becky Downie did not compete Bars. Not sure why as she marched out.
- 3-up, 3-count is definitely more exciting for the spectators. Every. Score. Counts.
- I’m surprised there are so few Double Layout dismounts from Bars. It should be less deductible than Double Tuck with 1/1 twist.
- Big fan of Iorio (Italy) on Bars. It’s so refreshing to see some variety of skills on that apparatus. 14.333.
- Manila is so unique. Superb movement like a professional dancer. OB on Double Layout — but otherwise excellent Floor. We need study this gymnast. She does a lot of things RIGHT.
- Yowser. Kalmykova’s tumbling is insane for such a small gymnast.
