Rewriting Russian Gymnastics has a wrap-up of their prelims competition.
Some speculate that the injury to Aliya Mustafina helped the rest of the team step up.

#Glasgow2015 gymnasts with USA ties
A new site called The Gym Report has a lengthy post featuring Worlds competitors with strong links to the USA. Many compete or have competed NCAA.
Brit Danusia Francis (UCLA) is here competing for Jamaica.
Leonid Arkaev in the house
I’d love to hear what he has to say regarding the excellent performance of Team Russia today. Without Mustafina.

Love this gymnast. But felt 14.633 (6.100+8.533) was too high for that set.
GBR crazy good
The home team dazzled. Really, really impressive performance. 🙂 And the scary thing is (for their competitors) … both Downie sisters fell on Bars. Imagine what they would have scored if they had HIT.

Japan, Canada leading at Worlds
so far … #Glasgow2015
Japan had a fantastic meet. I could see them finishing as high as 4th in prelims.
Canada had an excellent competition, as well.
College girl Brittany Rogers is back and looks even better than at the Olympics when Canada finished an historic 5th as a team.

MVP of the day just might have to go to Victoria Woo who competed 1st on all 4 apparatus. And rocked it.

Chusovitina – Produnova

Obviously a vault landed that deeply and dangerously should suffer greater deduction. The FIG WTC rules clearly do not work. 😦
Second vault was Tsuk with 1 1/2 twist. (5.5/14.60 for 14.683 average)
