Rebeca Andrade – Floor

One of the most anticipated routines at Worlds.

Note that Rebeca has a history of major knee injury — and wisely does as few hard landings on Floor as possible.

Flavia – Beam

Just outside the competition venue.

Free.

Looks great.

Mélanie – Bars

Awesome.

She’s competing Liverpool with her French coaches.

Yulo 🇵🇭 (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.

FIG will compile a medical report from Liverpool Worlds.

In it they will record what percentage of athletes left the competition due to injury.

Gymnasts were injured on day 1, including one of the H Bar favourites ➙ Tyson Bull. A lower back injury on H Bar.

But I felt there were fewer injuries than at past Worlds. MAG Vault landings were less horrific than in the past. Hopefully athletes are better prepared than in the past to survive a Code of Points where difficulty is so much more rewarded than quality. Hopefully.

MAG Gymnastics is really dangerous.
