No complaints, for a change.

First place, so far. Difficult and very well done.

15.266 = D score : 6.40, E score : 8.866

Impressive as she had a LONG wait before competing. And did not HIT Bars perfectly.

I love Aliya. But if this routine gets through to Finals … #WChAntwerp

Compare the E score against that of Kyla Ross.

2013 Artistic Worlds, Antwerp (BEL). #WChAntwerp

qualifications

1st Vault : 15.900 (D score : 6.30, E score : 9.60)

2nd Vault : 15.200 (D score : 5.60, E score : 9.60).

Average : 15.550. Provisory best score in Vault. The American finished her all-around competition with 60.133 pts. Provisory 1st also.

The best vaults by far. But clearly 9.60 is far too high for the Amanar. Her second vault was superior.

AA so far …

S Biles 60.133
K Ross 59.198
Y Jinnan 57.965

LIVE score by Longines is NOT working for many. Their APP, for example, will not load on modern Apple computers.

The highlight routine of WAG #WChAntwerp, so far.

She’s by far the best tumbler here.

The top routine, so far.

14.866 = D score : 6.10, E score : 8.766

Her Vault is only a Yurchenko 1/1, hurting her start score for the AA.

Simone finished the AA with 60.133 to lead Kyla in the prelim AA rankings.

Like Bars, she looked nervous. Had a long wait before being called to start.

14.400 (D score : 6.10, E score : 8.30). Provisory 3rd behind Kyla Ross (14.566) and Anna Rodionova (14.466).

Compare that E score with other top Beam routines at #WChAntwerp.

Ross v Biles, for example.

Simone could add standing 1/1 in the Final as she’s been training it in Antwerp.

A nervous making start first apparatus for Simone at her first BIG meet.

4th, so far

She competed right after Nabieva.

Local favourite and internet star Sanne Wevers fell yesterday on her Beam mount. 😦

Would have had a good chance for Finals with her unique routine construction.

NEVER upload to LiveLeak. It’s slow streaming. And this embed code won’t work. USE YouTube.

Thanks George.

Estimates her entire body 2.75m (over 9ft) above the ground.

FIG wants better, fairer judging. Why don’t they factor in this kind of objective criteria into the score?

In Trampoline they’ve added “time of flight” as a component of scoring. It works.

Vault would be the best first apparatus to measure height, distance and time of flight. Height of gymnasts could be included.
