3:41 pm. Camil Betances DOM FX: Lovely switch leap to tour jeté half. Came out really low from the 1.5 but still got the front tuck around, just really low on that landing. Crashes the double tuck at the end, just didn’t have enough height, lands on her knees with hands down.

3:36 pm. Franciny Morales CRC UB: I missed the beginning, saw the blind change to front giant half, and the full-in dismount, think she hit everything though!

Lynnzee Brown HAI FX: Double layout with a bounce back, and then a step OOB. Hit the second pass. Solid double tuck to finish.

Jordan Chiles USA VT: Beautiful Yurchenko double full, slight hop back. Did a second vault as well, I missed the entry and pop off the table, Lopez I assume? Landing had just a small hop.

Tiana Sumanasekera USA VT: Yurchenko double full, very nice! Great landing.

3:30 pm. Milagros Curti ARG BB: I LOOOOVED her beam at worlds but think she had a fall. Fingers crossed! Layout stepout mount and she’s off. Welp. I’m sad. Hit the flight series well. Side somi with a break at the hips. Front aerial, a little short. Switch to split jump to Korbut, a little crooked. 1.5 dismount was clean.

Ana Karina Mendez PER UB: Shaposh to bail to toe shoot, blind change to straddle Jaeger, double front, kinda whips it around but gets the landing!

3:29 pm. Kayla DiCello USA VT: Yurchenko double full, EXCELLENT landing! Wow, this was stellar.

3:27 pm. Ana Fuentes DOM FX: Double tuck, lands with her chest down. Gets the 1.5 to front tuck around. Double full. Great recovery after her tragic beam.

3:20 pm. Lynnzee Brown HAI BB: Front toss and full turn, nice. Remember when NCAA commentators used to call the front toss a “chicken flip?” Bhs loso with a slight break at the hips. Front aerial, leg comes up slightly, switch to split jump, side somi, slight check, tucked gainer full off the end, good!

3:17 pm. Anya Pilgrim BAR BB: I saw her hit the flight series and side aerial, front aerial had a bit of a wobble, hit the dismount.

3:13 pm. Ana Fuentes DOM BB: Off on the bhs back tuck and again on a jump. Then again on the side aerial. This poor gal. And again on the switch half. I’m going to die for her. Gets the full turn. Hit the dismount.

Ana Karina Mendez PER VT: Front handspring front tuck, good landing!

3:10 pm. Jordan Chiles USA FX: Full-twisting double layout, forward chest on the landing and one leg flies up behind her, fights back and gets control. 1.5 through to full-in, great landing there, no problems! Hop L turn to tour jeté full, good. Double wolf turn. Front layout through to double tuck rotated really slowly but she got it around with a step back. Double pike, a bit deep with a hop.

Deborah Salmina VEN VT: Good Yurchenko full! Step back.

Milagros Curti ARG UB: Had a moment on the low bar after her bail went over, but she stayed on and I think hit the rest, double pike dismount with a hop.

3:07 pm. Tiana Sumanasekera USA FX: Double double, really low chest but good feet on the landing. Really low landing on the double layout, lunge forward. Switch ring to tour jeté half. 1.5 to front full, position in the air was kinda weird but she got it around. Good double pike to finish!

Camil Betances DOM BB: Off on the side aerial and again on the bhs loso. Hit the leap series. Nice front aerial. Switch half. Tucked 1.5 dismount, good landing.

Leila Martinez ARG UB: Didn’t see most of this, double tuck dismount had a little bounce.

Franciny Morales CRC VT: I missed her first vault, second was a tsuk tuck full, was still rotating a bit as she landed and she ended up flying back to sit it.

Leila Martinez ARG VT: Yurchenko layout.

2:55 pm. Jordan Chiles USA BB: Bhs loso, wobble, leg comes up but she pulls it back. Front aerial to straddle jump to back handspring is solid. Side somi with a slight check. Hit the jump series, then a side aerial, smooth. Break at the hips I think on a switch side. Good landing on the double pike!

2:54 pm. It’s now been 12 minutes since Sumanasekera started her beam set and still nothing. Guessing there’s some deliberation about a couple of her connections.

2:49 pm. Really long wait for Sumanasekera’s score on beam.

2:46 pm. Milagros Curti ARG VT: Clean Yurchenko full.

Ana Karina Mendez PER FX: Arabian double front, got a lot of height but landed back on her heels and sat it. I think the same thing happened at worlds IIRC.

2:43 pm. Deborah Salmina VEN FX: ITALGYM! Double tuck with a little hop back. Double pike, good. Switch ring to split ring leap. Double spin, a little short.
