It’s so nice to have a Russian star happy to speak with western media. Recall how Mustafina and Nabieva would try to duck out, if they could.
Elena was very happy with her Bars in prelims.

Women’s finalists at #MTL2017GYM
The qualification meet was stressful and frustrating. Injuries. Very severe Beam judging. More mistakes than anticipated from some of the top contenders.
CONGRATULATIONS to those who qualified to the Finals. The Floor and Bar finals will be epic.
I put my predicted medalists in red bold. (My predictions are pretty much always wrong.)

#AnythingCanHappenInFinals
Judging was pretty good, overall. I felt Ragan and Morgan were slightly over-scored on Bars.
Oksana Chusovitina is up NEXT
Ponor is serious about retiring this time
Sad. She looks in great shape in #MTL2017GYM.
Upgraded her tumbling on Floor …
But anyone can miss in competition. Anyone.
4th subdivision: GER, HUN, FRA, ITA
heartbroken for Larisa
It looks like she snapped an Achilles while warming up Floor first apparatus.
Image actually shot by @CBCScottRussell.
This sport is very, very dangerous. 😥
Tomas Gonzalez added to Men’s Floor Final
Wow. I’m surprised. #MTL2017GYM problems.
Following an appeal by the Gymnastics Federation of Chile due to a problem with the structure of the competition floor that occurred during Men’s qualifications, the FIG Jury of Appeal has made the exceptional decision to allow Tomas Gonzalez (CHI) to participate in the Floor final.
During the second day of Men’s qualifications on Tuesday, October 3, a joining rail of the Floor’s structure moved out of place, causing instability on a small part of the floor.
Therefore, nine gymnasts instead of eight will participate in the Men’s Floor final on Saturday, October 7. Tomas Gonzalez will be the first to perform.

Ellie Black – Beam
Judges were tough on day 1. Ellie leads the apparatus (so far) with 13.433.
Let’s hope they stay consistent in evaluation day 2.

Seems some registration error was made by his Federation.
