Carlos Yulo – Floor

The best routine I’ve ever seen him compete.

Jake Jarman. Amazing.

He makes his first 2 tumbling passes look Simone-easy.

Despite having the most difficulty in the competition, Jake won’t qualify for the Final with a score of 13.900.

Yulo’s Vaults for Liverpool

The defending World Champ looks the man to beat in 2022.

He’s got the difficulty. And the best execution of any of the top guys.

For me he’s the favourite on both Floor and Vault.

Yulo πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­ (PHI) – Floor

I’d say the 2019 World Champion is the favourite in Liverpool.

Of the top guys, he has the best form. And Carlos is unhappy unless he sticks EVERY landing.

One of the big stories at Worlds Liverpool is Jake Jarman, from Huntingdon Gym Club.

Now age-20, he’s the 2022 Commonwealth Games AA Champion β€” and is still improving.

With a British dad and a Filipino mom, he’s very popular in the Philippines as well as the U.K.

Looks like Jake will compete triple twisting double layout on Floor. It’s so fast and clean I had to watch slowmo to confirm it’s 3 twists. πŸ˜€

On Vault he made the most difficult twisting skill look … EASY.

I spoke with Jake after training. He was once injured on Kas + 2 twists landing in competition. At that point he and his coach decided to move to Kas + 2.5 twists as the landing is so much safer.
