Stalder 1/2 from Cross Grip

I’d seen this done on Horizontal Bar.

But Riley is the first I’ve seen on a WAG Bar.

Shilese Jones to Worlds

Shilese had the highest AA score on day 1. Automatic qualification to the team.

Straddle Tkachev

Gymnasts should split as much as possible.

G.S. George in his book Championship Gymnastics explains why.

Stylistically, I like a late, fast split.

Kaylia Nemour 6.95 E-score

Many were surprised at this evaluation for Kaylia’s awesome Bars routine.

Aside from the great SAVE on one regrasp, most of the deductions were for handstand angles, something for which FIG WAG puts far too much importance IMHO.

As a coach, I’d recommend Kaylia switch to straddle cast handstand, used in 2022 by almost every Elite past about age-10.

Now age-15, she was born December 30, 2006.
