Ellie Black on Worlds
Xiao Ruoteng gracious on tie break
Thanks everyone for all the support and help. I can feel the positive energy you gave to me.
… I did a great job today. I am very satisfied with my performance. The silver medal is also good considering last year I already took the gold. It’s always not bad to end second ….
I respect the judges’ decisions and I also respect other competitors. They also did great today. …
Artur Dalaloyan – before and after
A fantastic performance to win the AA.
Two days earlier after falling on P Bars.
Hey. Everybody falls. Take it on the chin. And move on.
Sam on the H Bar miss
I called Sam for the AA win. He looks super ready.
Heading into the 6th and final apparatus — his best — Sam was only about half a point behind. His usual hit routine could MIGHT make up that difference.
XIAO Ruoteng had missed Liukin in team two nights ago. DALALOYAN was no sure hit either.
But Sam was the one who missed. It happens. Kohei only hits 95%.
I’d love to see him win H Bar in apparatus finals. It’s going to be EPKEIC.

Tom Forster on team finals
Tom has been posting daily updates on Facebook. We like the transparency and honesty.
Day 14 went well. 🙂
… We started the day with two line ups; one with Simone and one without in the case her kidney stone moved. I told the girls that anything can happen and we have to be prepared. We had the fourth girl warm up each event in the case Simone had to pull out. …
The USA Elite program is working. The athletes feel safe. The athletes are taken care of. The athletes are heard. The athletes and coaches are working smart.
Those that questioned if Riley should have been put on beam – YES she should have! …

Fact is that any of the 5 teams could have finished ahead of China this day with a perfect meet. I felt Brazil had the best chance.
