Wieber: double-double, 1.5 to triple twist, big step back on both. Leaps looked fine. 2.5 twist to front layout. Someone with a hot mike is in the bathroom :rofl: Double pike stick. Nice presentation.

6.0, 8.7, 14.7

Wow Weiber was on tonight. She attacked that so well. Could be a great score for her. Music suits her perfectly.

Too many jumps out of tumbles for Mitchell for my liking.

[gingercrush]

Oh grrr sopcast dying.

[vesperholly]

Mitchell AUS: Whip back to arabian double front, stag leap out, very good. Full in, a few paces back and almost out. Ugly crouchy spin thing, doesn't mess it up today. 2.5 ytwist to front layout, a little pace on landing. Completely ignoring the music. Double pike to split jump that obviously disguises what would've been a step on landing since she flies backwards a good two feet during the jump. :lol: Good exercise though.

Sooooo thrilled for Leyva. It's so great for him to win, esp. after what happened in AA. :cheer2:

Yeah, I'm a bit late. Just got back from a daytrip out of town.

I get Shannon Miller flashbacks, when I see Lauren's coach.

Peggy Liddick's success with the Australian team is awesome.

[Loves_Shizuka]

0.333 ahead of Wieber. The same margin Wieber won by in the AA. lol.

Bit high??

[vesperholly]

14.733 into first

[Beefcake]

How do judges generally view/score jumps out of tumbles, either choreographed in or embellished cover-up?

ETA (Apparently not too badly, here.)

[Loves_Shizuka]

Aww. I love Yao Jinnan.

[vesperholly]

Jinnan Yao CHN: West Side Story! Double layout. Triple twist with stag jump . Double Memmel, split 1/2. 1.5 twist to 2.5 twist split jump :blah: I'm so over jumps out of landings. Sassy choreography, I like it. Double pike.

Loved her!

[ilovesalchows]

That was about the least WSS of WSS I have ever seen.

Divine Jinnan. Great floor. I missed Mitchells completely.
