spotting a stalled Jaeger
Russian junior gymnast Vladislava Urazova hit her feet on Jaeger stalling the forward rotation. I thought her coach did a good job slowing her down on the fall to her back.

Céline’s choreographer Daymon Jones
MOST talked about routine in Glasgow – Celine!
We’ll be discussing the CAT WOMAN routine for many years to come!
Celine VAN GERNER (NED) first teased on social media.
She then astonished the audience during the Floor final march-in.
Click PLAY or watch her routine on YouTube.
Celine finished 4th 4.600 + 8.700 = 13.300. Only two tumbling lines. The medalists had D-scores of 5.5, 5.5 and 5.3.
Has anyone else had an 8.700 E-score on Floor this quad? Judges loved it!
I loved it too. It worked for this meet. … But FIG WTC should define clearly just how much theatrics is allowed / encouraged.

A fantastic, emotional final.

After winning two medals, Nina confirms that everyone on the team feels dropping the team final was the correct decision.

2. GOLGOTA Denisa ROU 13.600
3. KLINCKAERT Axelle BEL 13.400
E-scores seemed high to me on Floor. Aside from 8.700 for Celine VAN GERNER. That was well deserved. A historic, perhaps groundbreaking routine.
You have to be happy for Angelina. She endured much. Carried the Russian team. And is finally getting recognized for consistency.

Jr European Apparatus Finals
It was an excellent final with only 2 falls (Bars) over 24 routines and 16 vaults. This bodes well for the inaugural World Junior Championships 2019. These young athletes handled the biggest, noisiest stage.

My favourite routine was Giorgia VILLA, actually. She’s going to be one of best in the world very soon.
I’ll post some of these to compare E scores awarded. I wasn’t sure LIVE they got the rank right.

1. VILLA Giorgia ITA

A treat to watch a Beam final with no falls. Great work. Daria Murzhak URK 6th is stunning, for example.
