He reminds me of Peng Peng. The more FUN they have, the better they compete. 🙂

Yao Jinnan – Beam
Fall on standing 1/1.
Yet will still most likely make the Final.
Yao Jinnan (CHN), qualifications, Beam : 14.100 (D score : 6.40, E score : 7.70). Great performance on Beam. Second best score today behind Kyla Ross (USA, 14.566).

I’d call Yao the favourite to win both Bars and Beam.
She has a shot at the AA podium, as well. Her Vault and tumbling were far stronger than I expected.

YAO Jinnan – Bars
In first place, so far, without the Mo salto. (double front over the Bar)

15.433 = D score : 6.70, E score : 8.733
Low E scoring seems to be consistent, so far.
Yao’s in 2nd place on Beam so far (14.100) — with a FALL on 1/1 twist. Floor tumbling was stronger than I expected.
YAO Jinnan has a real shot at the AA podium with her potential high scores on Bars and Beam.
Anna RODIONOVA – Floor
Everybody loves this up-and-coming talent from Russia. Great potential. #WChAntwerp
Now needs the D-scores and consistency.

HUANG Huidan – Bars
Same final score as Kyla. Likely both will qualify for the Final.

15.133 = D score : 6.60, E score : 8.533
Again, I don’t see nearly 1.5 in deduction.
Kyla ROSS – Beam
14.566 = D score : 5.90, E score : 8.666
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Kyla hit 4/4 in the first preliminary session. AA = 59.198. Impressive everywhere.
59.198 should get her into the AA final. I don’t think Maroney will beat that score, even if she does hit 4/4. … But we’ll see.
8.733 E score on Ross’ Bars?

Let’s compare other E-scores on Bars.
Kaitlyn Hofland was way underscored, as well.
Are these judges going to make the classic mistake — starting the scoring low, then escalating later?
More highlight routines are being posted on the FIG YouTube channel.
