11:56 am. Gino Vetter AUT PB:

11:54 am. Noe Seifert SUI PH: Lovely handstand out of his scissors at the beginning. Single pommel work goes well, into Busnari, tentative down to flairs but no big errors. Travels in flairs, minor hip form in the circles after, decent push to handstand for the dismount. Good!

11:53 am. Leeroy Traore-Malatre FRA FX: Front full to double front, cowboyed, hop forward. Double double, low landing, kind of a stumble back OOB. Clean double full down the side. Front double full with some leg form, to punch layout. Hop back on the double pike.

11:50 am. Robert Kirmes FIN SR: Wasn’t typing for this but a hit routine, had a hop to the side on the double double dismount but overall looked good to me! Nothing major that stood out as an error, just the usual little things. 13.233

11:49 am. Aurel Benovic CRO VT: OOF, Dragulescu ends REALLY short, head is so close to being ON THE MAT his chest is so low, punches forward practically into the table. That was hella rough. 12.900

11:47 am. Florian Langenegger SUI PH: Scissors to ahndstand to scissors, into the circles, loses his rhythm on the single pommel, looked like his hand maybe slipped? Fall. Back on for circles on both pommels, some leg separation, Russians on the single pommel, travels mostly well, minor hip form now, big press up to get to the handstand for the dismount. 12.666

11:46 am. Illia Kovtun CRO VT: Kas 1.5, lovely in the air, big lunge forward on the landing to steady himself. 13.900

11:43 am. Touch warmups are underway!

11:38 am. Athletes are being introduced for the third and final subdivision! MAG intros are so boring compared to WAG. CHOREOGRAPH SOMETHING YOU MONSTERS.

I’m at my office and multitasking so I won’t be able to get every routine, and have my laptop instead of my big screen desktop, so am watching the Eurovision Sport feed instead of the six different apparatus streams just to make this more manageable for me because I will HAVE to hop away at times. Doing my best! Don’t criticize me!

This session has Austria, Azerbaijan, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Türkiye, which is without Adem Asil last-minute due to some issues with his mental performance and nerves in podium training.
