Grace USA Bars- HIT! A few errors here and there. May have clipped the bar on her transition? Couldn't tell for sure from the angle. But overall, I think USA will take that routine.
Update on Simone drama: She walked out of the arena with a trainer and medical staff, but she back adn looks fine. Not sure if she will compete bars. She was not in for warm ups. We will know in a second

Simone seems to have left the arena to regroup a little bit. She's back in and giving some words of encouragement to the girls

Rotation 2
Lu Yufei Bars: Just saw the routine. Too far away on her jaegar and falls. Gets back up and repeats it perfectly. Great dismount at the end. But that was why she scored only a 13.33Rotation 2
ROC 43.799 and USA 42.732 after rotation 1!

That's the end of rotation 1. Lots of drama and confusion. But the fight continues onto rotation 2 with USA and ROC on bars!

Jennifer Gadirova GB Beam - GREAT acro series. Ah I just love her and her twin. HIT routine from Jen, so great for her under pressure

Coming back to the rest of the competition. Simone's vault literally threw me off completely.
Alice Kinsella gets a 13.3 on Beam for GB. Good recovery for her after her disappointing Quals routine
Vanessa Ferrari KILLING the floor game here with a 14.1. She is also the number 1 qualifier into floor event finals

ROC 1 point higher than USA after vault. Probably because of Simone missing that vault very strangely. Her amanar would have normally given her a huge advantage and one to USA as well
