Brooklyn Moors on beam for Canada - wobbly start but recovers well, very stylish gymnast. Big wobble on acro series, but moving through the routine well.

Melnikova Vault - double twisting yurchenko, wow so clean in the air. Very crisp. Small hop on landing. 14.633
Murakami, home favorite gets a 13.766 on beam

Melanie Bars - 13.833
Tang Xijing Bars - good start. Beautiful China bars display, lovely on the dismount as well! Very nice for her
- 29 July 2021 11:08 AM GMT
Derwael Vault - 13.9.
Urazova Vault - double twisting yurchenko. Twists super late off the vault, but somehow always manages to get it around. Almost STICKS, the tiniest of leg shuffles, the judges dont miss though! 14.5!
Lieke Wevers replacing Ellie Black who withdrew from injury gets a 12.066 on floor.
- 29 July 2021 11:05 AM GMT
Nina Derwael Vault - yurchenko 1.5 - clean in the air and a hope on the landing. Not her strongest event, but beware because bars is next and she's reigning World Bars champion so she can make up a ton of points
- 29 July 2021 11:03 AM GMT
Melanie De Jesus Dos Santos Bars - goes for the nabieva to pak salto connection, NOO! almost brushes her feet on the floor. What a shame, she is a beautiful bars worker.
Andrade Vault 15.3, huge score for her.
Jade Carey up on vault - same as Rebecca - nice in the air, but not the amplitude and height as Andrade. I believe it will score slightly lower
- 29 July 2021 11:00 AM GMT
Suni Lee 14.6 on that effort.
The number 2 qualifier behind Simone vaulting now. Rebecca Andrade vault : goes for the big cheng. Almost sticks it with the tiniest step ahead! WOW. Very close to the penalty line there though, may lose a tenth
