Both very good. Jordan’s is clearly better in the air. But Aly had less landing deduction.
Let’s have computer analysis decide part of the score in future.

Brittany turned age-23 today.
I was at her Gym for two days this week. No rest after Nationals for Olympic team contenders. 🙂
In person – at 5′ 6″ – Brittany is even more impressive than on YouTube. Her Bars are particularly shocking. She rips through half routines like Beth Tweddle. Her toe 1/1 is toe hop 1/1 catching (sometimes) before handstand.
Check the height on this Shap half. Almost horizontal. That’s as high as anyone in the world.
The list of 12+ gymnasts who will be invited to the Canadian Olympic trial camp has still not been finalized. Brittany is certainly top 3 on Bars and Vault.
related – I felt Brit’s YDT last year at Worlds was as good as any competed.

French / American Gymnastics coach Eric Harrison was sentenced to 2 years in prison with 1 year suspended.
Amongst his other crimes, he had a video camera in the locker room in Guise, France. It looks like a pen.
Harrison edited the website Gymnet.org, now gone from the internet. We’ve deleted all links to Gymnet.org from this site, as well.
I want to thank a member of the former Gymnet forum for alerting us to this criminal.
Wow. What potential. Morgan is fantastic.
