SAKAGUCHI Ayaka (JPN) – Beam

Continuous movement.ย  You could actually call this choreography.ย

finishing the routine AFTER a fall

Respect for Skye Blakely.

Anyone can fall on Beam. Simone. Anyone. It happens.

Gymnasts have to train to stay calm. Get up. And hit the rest of the routine well. Especially in a 3-up, 3-count competition format.

KOVACS Zsofia (HUN) – Beam

Beam 1-arm Handstand

FIG WTC really should encourage these skills more.

The greatest Artistic gymnast all time was Jackie Bender.

1-arm handstand mountย (Rankin) is a fantastic way to start a routine.

At 2022 Worlds we cheered Nikolett.

WATANABE Hazuki – Qualification Beam

As promised, FIG is uploading all qualification routines to YouTube without GeoBlocking.

Worlds โ€™22 Apparatus Final 2

Beam

Japan is THE up-and-coming team in the world right now.

I felt Skye Blakely and and Ou Yushan had the best routines โ€” but Beam is an apparatus where you have to hit under pressure. The medal winners did that.

Ellie Black had zero falls or major errors over 4 Beam routines in Liverpool. In fact she had no falls or major errors on any apparatus in Qualification, Team Final, AA Final or either Apparatus Final. Truly sheโ€™s been the most consistent of the top gymnasts in the world.

Floor

Crowd went wild.

In the craziest Final, Jessica Gadirova won the Floor title. As did her GBR teammate Giarnni Regini-Moran in Men’s Floor.

This will be the most discussed podium as nobody understands exactly what the judges want in terms of artistry.

USA appealed Jade’s Floor score โ€” as many teams did for many athletes โ€” but this time the score went DOWN 0.1.

That can happen.

As a result, Jade went into a tie with Rebeca. This made pretty much everyone in the arena happy. ๐Ÿ˜€

Vault

Fantastic vaults to get on to this podium. It was one of the best finals in years. Only 1 fall over 16 super difficult vaults.

You beat, Yulo โ€ฆ you are GOOD. Congratulations to 30-year old Artur Davtyan. Two fantastic vaults.

P Bars – Zou Jingyuan

The man. The legend. The greatest of all time on Parallel Bars.

Arguably the greatest routine of all time on any apparatus.

H Bar

Superb Final. No falls. No drama. Just great Gymnastics.

Brody hit the best routine I’ve ever seen him do.

Brody Malone – World Champion. I like the sound of that.
