Tokyo Olympics Gymnastics LIVE Day 6: Intense battle for women's gold as Simone Biles withdraws - Updates, scores, results
only 0.066 separating Suni Lee and Andrade now. This is going to be very close!
Jess Gadirova beam - completely off on her flight series :( Ugh gutted for her. Recovers well though. dismount - double pike - very nice. Not her best day but wow, these twins have a VERY bright future. So talented and only 16 years old
Suni Lee bars - another huge routine for her. She has unbelievable difficulty on this event. SHE HITS!! Makes all the insane connections and she looks happy with that. This was make or break routine. 15.3!! HUGE score
12.1 for Kovacs on beam
Urazova bars 14.866!
Lu Yufei Beam now
Melnikova Bars - a little rushed in the beginning but recovers well. Almost identical routine to Uravoza. Almost sticks the landing - great for her. 14.9! That will put her second behind Andrade
Urazova up next on bars - her legs are always STUCK together. She floats on this event, beautiful to watch. Sticks the landing - the fight is SO ON!
ROC sporting bright pink leotards by the way.
Derwael Bars - 15.266 - huge for her
The Gadirova twins are almost impossible to tell apart! Ah love them both!
Kovacs beam - starts well, hits the acro series. And she's off on her leap series. Wow. A rough beam rotation for this group overall.
Murakami 14.0 on floor, woah! Big score
Nina Derwael bars - very big routine for her. Does a bunch of release moves. Hits everything. Makes all the connections, and a good dismount, WOW. Hit routine for her
Jenn Gadirova 12.933 on beam. Just not her day today
Tang Beam - 13.066
Steingruber Vault - 14.833. Huge vault score for her
Carey Bars - 13.5
Andrade Bars 14.666
Jade Carey bars now. Not her strongest event but must get through it cleanly. Doesn't connect her flight series. But holds on well. After 2 falls in warm ups - she recovers well!
They just showed Simone in the crowd. Such a class act coming out to support her teammates!
Vault - Lieke Wevers 13.266
Tang Xijing on beam - good mount and lovely acro series into a jump connection. OH NOOO, off her switch ring leap. Looks like she just missed on foot on the landing. Recovers really well, making connections. Beautiful dismount
