GBR took the early momentum lead, winning the INTRO dance. 😀
But the big surprise was the Olympic host nation taking the Bronze.
I really enjoyed the competition. A thriller.
There were falls. And some personal BEST EVER routines.
Great Gymnastics overall.
Italy really impressed despite not having some of their biggest stars in this line-up.
After the USA team bronze medal.
He feels the plan to raise difficulty start score over the quadrennial did work.
USA should be even stronger at the Paris Olympics. They have a lot of depth right now.

As many expected, China was suddenly good during Team Final.
In a 3-up, 3-count Final, it’s difficulty and falls that most decide the ranking.
Do you risk the big Vaults?
Should you take out difficulty anywhere to play safe?
It was a thriller. Every team had at least 1 fall.
Personally I felt USA was stronger than GBR this time. And if you add Brody Malone to this team for Paris, the States will be a medal favourite.
Coaches Patrick Kiens, Daymon Montaigne-Jones, and Corina Haljoni have to get a bit of the credit.
BARS is particularly improved.

The top 17 teams this year scored high enough to make top 8 in 2022.
As expected, it was super tough to make top 12 at the qualifying Worlds.
It was heartbreaking that France did not qualify anyone to the Paris Olympics.
At worst, the FIG does allocate one spot for the host nation IF nobody has qualified from France in any other way.
Canada competed best of all teams for their first Olympic qualification since 2008. Germany was excellent, too.
Ukraine did not compete well, but everyone is happy they made Paris in the Olympics where Russia may be banned for invading their homeland.
It was a gutsy performance for Netherlands to qualify. And I’d say Turkey has earned the Olympics for their steady progress over recent years. It was a smart call to add young Emre Dodanli who is competing in NCAA for Oklahoma.
