Meanwhile, not only has Simone Biles entered her YDD for international difficulty, but Shilese Jones has entered her triple turn with leg extended in the floor exercise.

Simone is also looking great on the uneven bars:

I am not a Barbie fan, abhor pink most of the time, but that particular shade is pretty.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Pink is often one of the USAG leo colors at worlds and the Olympics, so I’m not sure Barbie can take credit for this one.

It's the Nastia effect, LOL

Remember that like ~4 year period after 2008 where it seemed like every American gymnast wore pink?

 

[HeatherC]

So excited for Worlds to get started this weekend!

How the heck did Simone's vault get even better than it already was when we first saw it??!?

So, Qualifications can be seen everywhere, but not the finals. Am I reading that correctly?

Presumably, the excluded countries will be airing the finals in some capacity. Isn't it on Peacock in the US?

Yes, I knew Peacock was airing Worlds, I just wanted confirmation that I could view quals. Thanks!

 

[HeatherC]

My manager released our department's work-from-home schedule for next two weeks and I ended up with Tuesday and Wednesday of next week as my work from home days......I don't think she quite realized how happy that made me since I can now watch both the men's and women's team finals live while I'm working that afternoon! Love how that worked out for me....she better not change the schedule, LOL

 

[skatingguy]

The Beligians are being very loud for the home team at the moment in men's qualifications.

 

[airgelaal]

Team Ukraine hate me, I know

I missed some of the second subdivision, but it looks like they struggled on high bar, and then it carried over to the floor exercise.

high bar was a disaster Kovtun lost a lot here and there.
We really need to go to Paris

 

[ilovesalchows]

Khoi Young ROCKED pommel horse! Fred Richard did well too. I missed the first two but Yul must have come off. At any rate, the US survived pommels.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Ugh, US high bar disaster. We really got to figure that apparatus out. Young-Fall, Hong-botched skills, Juda-Hit!, Richard-Fall. Scoring wedgie is broken, but the US should have a total of 38.599 for high bar, which is 9th among all teams who have gone so far. Juda currently in 5th on HB.

 

[skipaway]

Peacock has their tiles up…add to my stuff available

 

[Rob]

US in second behind Japan after today? wow.

 

[Hedwig]

US in second behind Japan after today? wow.

While not being very good. What ON EARTH happened to China? GB is very close to the US, so that seems less dramatic, but they're behind Germany, who didn't even qualify last year.

Although China also qualified behind the US last year, so maybe they're just bad at it?

For the US right now, it looks like Richard and Hong are in a good spot for AA, Richard currently in second for floor, Young in second on PH, Juda and Young in 5th and 6th on Vault so they could qualify but might miss out. Moldauer in 4th and Hong in 6th on P Bars, so Yul at least should make it. And high bar, let us never speak of it again. (No, just kidding, Juda is in 7th but I assume won't make the final). In theory, all of them could make at least one final.
