CROKET Julie BEL 13.900
PIHAN-KULESZA Marta POL 13.900

USA got the job done. Most likely qualified the finalists they wanted. But something tells me Marta is not going to be all smiles and giggles. She will want better in the Team Final.

Netherlands rocks

I believe these ladies had only 1 fall over 20 difficult routines. Respect.

after 5/12 divisions:
RUS, NED, BEL, CAN, MEX, ESP

They want to be Olympians. 🙂

Jake Dalton

Say no more.

RI Se Gwang – Vault

One of the favourites to medal on Vault in the Men’s competition is injured. Pain forced him to walk off Floor in the middle of the routine. 😦

But by the time he limped to Vault he’d recovered enough to (somehow) land piked Dragalescu. And his eponymous Vault to qualify to the Final.

Vault 1 : 15.400
Vault 2 : 15.100

CHN, USA and ROM yet to come.

Aliya MUSTAFINA – Bars

#FIGWorlds2014ART

As expected, Aliya looked far better in competition than in training. Missed some connections on Beam but still hit for 58.874 AA in prelims.

Click PLAY or watch her easy Bar routine on YouTube.

15.166 (Difficulty : 6.300, Execution : 8.866).

No doubt she’ll upgrade for the final to try to medal.
