Scores!
Italy manages to sneak past Japan in this subdivision with a 163.330 while Japan ends with a 162.662.
Top AA gymnasts after 1 subdivision include: Alice D'amato and Mai Murakami
Pranati finishes her campaign at the Games with an AA score of 42.565. Doesn't look likely she will advance to any finals. Nonetheless, she's an Olympian and did her absolute best considering VERY little prep time!

Beam - Last routine
Final performance on beam in this subdivision, from Singapore's lone representative, Tan Sze En.
Almost off on her Aerial. Big wobble and grabs the beam. Recovers well, scores a 11.033. She will continue her gymnastics journey competing for Stanford University!

Beam - Pranati Nayak
Another FALL here. Pranati is off on her flight series. Wow, some mistakes across events in this rotation.
Nayak scores a 9.433

Drama: Another fall!
Wow. It is intense energy at the Ariake Gymnastics Center right now
Japan's top AA gymnast, Yuna Hiraiwa FALLS on bars! Uncharacteristic dead hang on her Pak salto and just jumps off the bars. Good recovery after getting back on. Scores only an 11.700 and that will hurt her.
In tears after her routine :(
