Time: 18:00 Glasgow
The List of Starts:

Props to Glasgow for adding a series of precarious steps for gymnasts to go down after their intro poses. We know how well gymnasts do with steps.

Two rotation groups with 9 athletes each, so be sure to check into a retirement facility before we start.

Crystelle Lake is Scotland’s top qualifier. We need more gymnasts named after courses in 1080. Can’t wait for Golden Forest to make the US team for 2028.

Rotation 1, Part A

Scott – VT – AUS – yfull, solid position, light pike, good block and legs together, pretty large bounce back to try to control. 13.100 (4.2/8.9)

Z Daries – UB – RSA – maloney with leg separation, connects it to the gienger well – toe 1/2 to piked jaeger, solid – slightly shy on some hs but fine – bail, hit with little pike – toe full on low bar – toe shoot, pretty good amplitude for a toe shoot – DLO, small hop. Good one. 12.600 (5.2/7.4)

Evans – VT – WAL – does the DTY, excellent height, fairly large bounce back – very slight knee and foot position throughout. Strong. 14.100 (5.0/9.1)

Lake – UB – SCO – toe full, little form moment but works through to van leeuwen – jaeger, nice foot position and amplotude – pak, hit, small foot break – maloney to gienger, hits it, legs apart on catch, a couple short hs – double front, hit with lunge forward. Well done. Totally beat Ricky Winterborn with that. 13.250 (5.6/7.650)

E Black – VT – CAN – Tsuk 1.5 is solid, step forward, not quite the control on landing of the team competition but will be a good score. 13.850 (4.8/9.050)

N Davies – UB – RSA – toe full to maloney, small leg breaks, connects to giener – toe blind is past but hits connected jaeger – bail, shorter of vertical – also solid on her toe shoot to high – only dismounts with a flyaway. 12.600 (4.7/7.9)

E Roper – VT – WAL – yfull is hit, medium hop back, some pike, chest up really well though. 13.300 (4.2/9.1)

A Yap – VT – SGP – yfull as well, similar to Scott, clean in the air, slight pike, pretty large bounce back. 13.000 (4.2/8.8)

Tan – UB – SGP – excellent gienger, great height – pak, legs together, some foot flexing – 1/2 turn on low is past – toe shoot to high, hit – over on hs on high but pulls it back – giant full is past, and also dismounts with a flyaway. 11.000 (3.4/7.6)

Donatella, what are we doing about these flyaways?
