I think Gadirova is the one who fell/jammed her ankles in the team final on vault.

 

[Hedwig]

German commentator just said that he still saw her in the warm-up hall. So it must be a very sudden decision.

 

[Hedwig]

Ou Youshan apparently also had to withdraw shortly before competition

The camera work is killing me already. It seems like on every event the camera is constant motion. It makes me feel sick after a while.

Nemour just had a really cool uneven bars set. So much complexity in connecting the elements!

 

[Tesla]

Oh, the Algerian was amazing on bars.

 

[tony]

And Black NAILED her vault. Wow.

 

[Hedwig]

Oh Melanie fall on bars

 

[VGThuy]

Give them time, someone will.

 

[airgelaal]

Oh, dear

 

[Hedwig]

maybe you can write who you are talking about? I think we may have a different stream here. And for people who cannot watch that is helpful too

Beam on Wednesday and bars today.

ETA Ellie Black fell off bars. There have been quite a number of falls off bars today.

 

[ilovesalchows]

In this era of instant recall for video clips do we really need to have TV holds in a sport as dangerous as this?

Instrumental 'Bye, Bye, Bye' is a good reminder that even without lyrics there are still questionable music choices.

Oof looked like Ellie had the same fall in warmups on that.

Schaefer-Betz’s fall on floor was scary.

Schaefer-Betz’s fall on floor was scary.

She was just lost in the air, but the fall itself luckily didn't look too awful

 

[tony]

De Jesus is just way off today. Disaster first rotation, at least 4 bobbles on beam now.

True. I guess just how completely lost she looked was scary.
