Rebecca's score is surprising for most. Gives Suni the lead with Urazova, Andrade and Melnikova trailing behind

Andrade with a 13.566. That seems low for her woah
And that ends the rotation, the top group goes to floor for their final event!
Suni signalling to Simone and the girls! Haha

That ends rotation 3 and looks like Andrade will comfortably take the lead going into floor

13.833 for Suni on beam, not the best score for her, would have hoped for higher.
Gives room to Andrade who is up next
Andrade - steady start, hits acro and jumps. Looks very solid and confident. Great switch ring. She's going for those connections wow. only the dismount now - HITS! WOW she will be delighted with that. She is so on today and so calm and confident. Great to watch her

Will be close for Suni on beam
Melanie floor - 13.333 on floor
It so funny how gymnasts complete their routine and run to re tape their ankles for floor. Shows how much impact gymnasts must endure

Suni Lee beam - big wobble on her opening wolf turn. Phew. Decides not to do the double turn. Good routine after that. Easy double twist dismount
