MAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooooo happy for him. I never thought I'd see the day when we would have a gymnastics world champion in any of the disciplines. Beth showed the way and now Max has joined her. What a week for British Gymnastics

I'm sure they have. These are young girls who are tech savvy. If no one told them directly, I'm sure they've already seen it on the internet. The negative info always finds its way to an open ear.

Scheder had a nice routine going until the dismount, figures lol. Her lines are so pretty to watch, great swing too. 14.6
Fan Yilin next, she has a routine that could win it.

It's really strange that the Chinese coaches stay on the mat and stay very close to the gymnasts during the entire performance and explicitly coach the gymnasts during the routine. I thought that wasn't allowed.

Ok Komova was gorgeous on bars.

Wow Komova nailed that one, I'm pretty sure she'll win with that.
Only 15.366, hmm.
Gabby just hit her routine, have a feeling she might've just eeked out the lead with that. Really clean work, her best UB final routine to date IMO.
The door is open for Kocian and Spiridonova.

And of course Komova hits when I'm no longer particularly rooting for her. 
But that routine was excellent.

I wondered about this during the AA competition because I noticed this as well. Aren't there deductions for that? The Chinese aren't the only team to do this, though.

I just thought that the coach wasn't allowed to touch the gymnast while they are performing. Not sure on the "coaching" mid-routine.

I'm confused by that score.

They aren't supposed to talk to the gymnasts either, but that happens all of the time. It's not a rule that's enforced.

Me, too. I really thought she would have soared into the lead.

Komova can't hide her inner bitch for very long can she?

Gabby nailed it!
Surely Team Russia will launch an inquiry? That was a long wait for Komova's score.

Gabby is pacing herself really nicely. I have new respect for her.

Regardless of the score she passed a major test here!

The American coaches leave the podium completely except for the releases after the whole 1988 fiasco in Seoul.

3 identical scores 
Really think that Komova was a bit robbed with the scoring.

3 of them on 15.366!!!!!! Why isn't execution separating them? Thought that would still leave 2 on the top step!!!

Good routine from Kocian, should go 3rd. She's missing another big skill for me to go wow over.
3-way tie! Kocian will medal, and if things stay the same she's world champion.
Spiridonova short on some handstands, but great rhythm overall. I have no clue what they'll do.

4 gold medalists! Oh my god.
The podium is like a team final, where they all unite as countries to win the gold on bars. This will go down as the weirdest bars final ever.

OMG FOUR-WAY TIE! The judges couldn't decide between whether they wanted to award a Chinese, a Russian, or an American with the title so they decided to not to decide.
Lets add a Brit
