2014 World Championships Qualifications

LIVE Results

Thanks for that win Giants. You made my night:)

(Full Results for entire competition)

Tonight USA-Gymnastics will be showing the Russians and it ends before 11 PM which means maybe I will live blog it.

Judges for Qualification

There are no US judges. Elena Davydova

is judging for Canada? Way to sneak in those extra tenths Russia. Oksana Omelianchik is timing beam too. This should be interesting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tomorrow morning at 6 am-745 the US Compete. Russia competes tonight. Not sure of the exact time. Explain to me why Aliya isn’t up last on every event for Russia?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Russian highlights:

Spiridonova on bars. Aliya’s triple turn on floor. Aliya’s triple turn on beam. The entire Russian rotation on bars. Honestly they should have brought Komova. Anything she would have done on bars would have trumped any of these girls left at home for another event.

Russia- Beam

1- Kramarenko- Messy routine. Bobble to start. Punch front. Double tuck dismount- 13.566 2- Mustafina- She didn’t fall but very slow. Missed connections- 14.308 3- Karenkova- (fell on dismount, missed hand it looked like) Too bad she nailed everything in practice but was off whole routine. 12.933 4-Spiridonova (Fell, messy. Not sure what that was.lol 12.166 5- Sosnitskaya- Well she stayed on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Russia- Uneven Bars

1- Daria Spiridonova- Nice routine. Beautiful form minus one leg separtion. Ugly Giants, nailed dismount- 15.100 2- KRAMARENKO Ekaterina – 14,766 Another nice routine. 2 small leg separations but dead on handstands 3- Aliya Mustafina -(6.3) Hit routine. A little messy form 15.166 4- Sosnitskaya- Messy form but hit 14.408 5- Nabieva- Step on landing but everything else looked great. Much better form than Aliya 14.600

Daria had the best routine here not Aliya. Aliya is getting some gifts especially compared to her teammates.

It looks like the fans are stuck way up and the empty seats are for the coaches/gymnasts etc….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Russia- Vault 1- KRAMARENKO Ekaterina 14.466 (DTY) Short 2- Nabieva- (DTY) Stuck 14.766 3- Mustafina (DTY) 14.900 (Nabs was MUCH better) BS Score 4- Sosnitskaya- (6.40 start value, short 15.133 DTY (Stuck but messy form) 14.900 (overscored) 5- Kharenkova 13.900 (Yurchenko)

(Canada counted two scores in the 11’s on beam) Black got a 13.OOO on floor. Judges are being very nit picky for everyone not named Aliya.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I missed Aliya’s floor start value. Anyone know?

Russia Floor

1- SOSNITSKAYA Alla 13.533 2- KRAMARENKO Ekaterina 13.066 3- Mustafina Aliya 14.500 4- Kharenkova Maria- 13.666 5- Spiridonova Daria- 12.833

Overall very poor effort from 4 of 5 gymnasts.

So the first Russian (Kramamren) hit her full in but was short on the double tuck. Big step on last pass. Low 13 for a score. I hate Russian names so I will title them in order but Aliya

Russian number 2 (Sosnitskaya)- 2 Memmel turns she bobbled out of. A double layout nicely done and a triple twist she almost went OOB with. Messy routine. (13.533)

Aliya- Nice routine from Aliya. 2 big steps on her passes but she nailed her triple and double turns.

I day dreamed through 4th Russian. Pretty dancer. Bad form on the twisting but a pretty routine. Ended with a Double Pike.

I always tune out gymnasts that start with double pikes. Sorry 5th Russian and your low start value.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Nelli Kim. Russia is wearing this metallic green. (Oh come on umps you can’t throw out the manager in a playoff game (I want the Giants to win but not this way)

USA-Gym how about some podium training instead of the line up?
