This pommel horse is a nightmare! I'm stressed out watching tonight.
I'm also shocked our Jake hasn't the floor final. He's fantastic.
Oh no, we're last now! We were second after round 1.
OMG the Brazilian just fell off the high bar. They're going down like ninepins now. Is this the end of a long season?

Yeah, it is! As you can tell. It's all getting a bit tense

I've never seen so many falls in a competition. Thank goodness the Italians had the apparatus of death after us! I think it's a miracle. Thank goodness also that we no longer have that Olympic worry!

Yep!
I did feel sorry for the Italians because the AoD is not what you want when the pressure is on.
And, unlike the women yesterday, tension seem to spread to every team but the Chinese. Which is why they were so far ahead. But the rest did not look like they were enjoying it at all.

I have never seen someone face plant when missing their pommels dismount before. What a chapter of accidents last night was. I know they were still all very good, but it was nowhere near the quality of the recent Europeans was it? Except for the Chinese of course,

Just a mix of things, I think. The end of the season, the tension in the hall, tiredness, having to do qualifications first rather than from the team competition.

I noticed they had gone back to the original format rather than combining the team event with the qualifications. Was that at the Euros or the CG, or both? It was a bit busy but I didn’t mind it that way. I assume it was a trial run if it isn’t being used here.

I think it was the CG.

I'm watching the women's All Around now. Some gorgeous vaulting so far.

Absolutely brilliant competition! No falls, high quality performances and really tight scores! And they all held their nerve in the last rotation. Superb stuff.

I enjoyed the WAR as well. I thought Jessica did really well, as did Alice but she was crying again. She seems to take it too much to heart really, because 4th in the world is no mean feat!!!! I’m now a day behind as we were drinking last night so missed the MAR.
