14.88 avg needed by GBR?

did that in quals. eek

 

[poths]

GB needs to average higher than 14.877 for bronze.

14.83 for Frags their weakest vaulter.... arrrgh

 

[tuffcaco]

What a routine by Maggie! Should have been doing AA for USA.

 

[Lara]

Better stick from Amy! Come on...

 

[Tesla]

It's going to be close. Too close if you ask me. Russia does not deserve to medal.

 

[Karpenko]

Maggie was beautiful on floor, great landings too

GB rocking it on vault

 

[rhapsody]

Tinkler.

I know, I'm 5 years old.

 

[Erin]

Maggie! Love her nailing all those landings. Especially when the US is 5 points ahead and she doesn't need to fight for every landing.

 

[Lara]

GB should not have to be averaging that much with three less falls.

 

[Erin]

I hope Maggie can repeat that 15 in EF and walk away with an individual medal, she deserves one!

 

[Erin]

Aly out for redemption today! Love how team USA is not mailing it in on floor even though they totally could.

 

[poths]

Tinkler NAILED that 15.

Ellie just has to be normal...stay in bounds!

 

[morqet]

15.083 for Amy, come on Ellie....

 

[Tesla]

Squee! I think Great Britain did it! Aly was awesome.

 

[tuffcaco]

UK should have done it!

 

[Erin]

I think that vault from Ellie Downie did it for GB!!!

 

[Lara]

Yes!!! Ellie!

 

[Karpenko]

Yay!! They did it

Aww everybody crying Ellie can't believe it

 

[Tesla]

And they effing did it! Woo HOO!

 

[Erin]

Woohoo GB!! More than deserved!

 

[rhapsody]

We need some shots of the Russians, stat.

 

[poths]

Loving the live feed "Are you sure....blub blub blub....are you sure...??"

 

[rhapsody]

I can't with these computer generated doo doo doos.

 

[Lara]

Must say, it is nice to see the US acting like they haven't taken it for granted.

 

[allezfred]

Didn't realise it was on YouTube till a few minutes ago. Fortunately I was on time to see the U.S. floor routines and laugh hysterically at what passes for "artistry".

 

[Erin]

And the US continues their streak of hit performances in team finals.

Since I know someone's going to want to know the math...Maggie Nichols scored 59.232 today, which would have easily qualified her to AA finals in second place if she had scored that in prelims.

 

[hirshey girl]

As happy as I am for the U.S., I am absolutely thrilled for GB!! Their reaction afterwards had me crying. Great job!!

 

[4rkidz]

That was all very exciting ! Great job by team GB!! I had hoped Canada would be higher but main thing is they are qualified, great job by team USA, very impressive

 

[Tesla]

Thank you. I was curious about that.
