Okasana is judging Vault here I understand.
Oksana Chusovitina (Uzbekistan) and Aljaž Pegan (Slovenia) were elected to the FIG Athletes Commission on Friday at the world championships in Montreal. …
Chusovitina succeeds Great Britain’s Beth Tweddle, who was elected after the 2012 Olympics in London. Pegan takes over (from) Jani Tanskanen (Finland) …
At the rhythmic world championships in September, Lyubov Charkashyna (Belarus) was re-elected to be the FIG Athlete Representative …
One issue Oksana will bring to the table is minutes per apparatus allowed / routine during podium training. Athletes and coaches were vocal in their concern that not enough time was allowed to safely get used to the competition apparatus.
The podium apparatus sat empty for much of every day. More time could easily be allowed.
I’m not sure which was the bigger highlight.
Morgan is a Potterhead. Big time.

Though the score makes it look close, Petrounias is the closest thing to a guaranteed Gold medal at Worlds. Positions, time of hold. Many dismounts were poor in this Final, however.
Another great final. Judges managed to get the right podium.
Watch a video on Ait Said Samir’s return from horrific injury on Vault in Rio to a 4th place finish on Rings at Worlds.
Colak was happy to get to the final representing Turkey. Good routine.
Here’s something you’ve never seen before. A gymnast crack his neck in the middle of the routine.

In the most anticipated of the apparatus finals at worlds it was the usual superstar nations topping the podium. China, Russia and … BELGIUM.
1. Fan Yilin CHN 15.166 Exe. : 8.666 | Diff. : 6.500
2. Eremina Elena RUS 15.100 Exe. : 8.800 | Diff. : 6.300

Shockingly Ashton Locklear missed her routine. The cleanest and most consistent of the field. It goes to show that anyone can fall in this sport.
Bars is easily the most entertaining apparatus at Worlds.

Good final. A different panel of judges might have had Alex ahead of Xiao Ruoteng.
I thought Weng Hao should have had a higher E-score. His execution best of the group.

Ellie 4th. Oksana 5th competing the same two vaults, both very well.
Just prior to the Final we learned CAN had submitted Triple Twisting Yurchenko for Shallon. The first I’d ever heard of her considering it. Excitement was short lived, however, as Shallon tried Amanar (over-rotate, under-twist).
