I will list all of who is in position to qualify to the final after day 1 as well as two reserves. The two reserves will be in italics. 2 Per-countried athletes will be omitted in the ranking-but will be mentionewd with an asterisk at the end of each event listing. Personally, I REALLY hope Mexico manages to eek into the Team Final and that Skye Blakely can hit once again and stay in the bars and beam finals. I'd also really love Kaia Tanskanen's floor score to hold up.

5.) Karina Schoenmaier GER (13.133)

6.) Hoi Yuen Joanne Chen HKG (13.133)

*NO gymnasts got two-per countried today out of the vault final because only 6 gymnasts competed two vaults overall. This also means there are currently no reserve athletes.

UB:

1.) Helen Kevric GER (14.766)

2.) Elisa Iorio ITA (14.466)

*Sofia Tonelli is the only athlete 2-per-countried out of the finals so far.

FX:

1.) Reese Esponda USA (13.633)

2.) Claire Pease USA (13.333)

*Skye Blakely is the only athlete two-per-countried out of the final. Charleigh Bullock is also two-per-countried out of being a reserve athlete for the final.

Teams:

NOTE: Only 8 teams have competed, which means all are qualified to the final thus far. It is unlikely some of these scores hold up. Any teams below Germany are in immediate danger of being bumped out.

*In the AA competition, many athletes got two-per-countried. Charleigh Bullock, July Marano, Misa Nishiyama, Victoria Mata, Mia De Wilde, and Iris Iordache.

Overall, I would say that the top 10 who are in the All Around are likely to make it. Outside of that, with help from some competitors tomorrow, the top 15 in the All Around have a decent chance. Anyone ranked below that is likely out of luck for All Around Finals Prospects. On vault, the top 4 scores are likely to hold up for finals prospects. Places 5 and 6, however, do have the ability to sneak in if there are mistakes. On bars, nothing is guaranteed outside of for Helen Kevric. The top 4 all have the ability to qualify, however. On beam, the top 3-4 scores are likely to hold, but it is possible that with hits or misses, you could subtract or add to those placements. On floor, anyone below rank 3 is in danger of not qualifying. However, given how low scores have been, ranks 4-5 could still make it. Germany is on the bubble, but has a high chance of making it in. Anyone below them, however, has slim prospects.

Thought these links might be helpful for anyone else who struggled to find them. I was watching Sub 1-3 videos this morning for a while while the event was live, then had to take a break. I came back later after session 3 had concluded and I couldn't find the videos anywhere on Eurovision. I could see events scheduled for the future, but nothing that had already finished from this World Championships (other than highlights and MAG). Luckily I still had the links open on another device!

In case you need help finding them:

WAG Sub 1-3 Main Feed

WAG Sub 1-3 Vault

WAG Sub 1-3 Bars

WAG Sub 1-3 Beam

WAG Sub 1-3 Floor

All teams going in the next subdivision are going to aim for around a 160, which is a 13.333 average across 12 routines. The benchmark for qualification set by a team is Germany, who are right on the bubble of qualifying after all of the subdivisions are complete. Germany had a 158.661 today, for a 13.222 average for each routine. For teams who are not in strong contention for the team final but want to put up a strong result (Malaysia, Algeria, Sweden, etc. etc.) they would hope to at least pass Belgium, and possibly Mexico. Mexico had an excellent day to post a 12.817 average. Most teams in that category will want to aim for around a 13 average, with a 156 team total being a very strong result. The US has been pegged as the team to beat after Day 1, with a 13.71 average and 164. WG2 Russia and China will aim to surpass that with a 165 (13.75 average) being a strong benchmark. The US will also aim for that score in team finals, which they are highly likely to make. Japan and Italy will also aim to improve their scores in team finals, after less than ideal days.

The current code makes no sense to me. These are the best gymnasts in the world and you're telling me not one of them deserves even a 7.9? Not that they necessarily need to calibrate all of the events to be in the same range but its wild that the current top floor score wouldn't even be top 8 on other events.

In today's Worlds Quals WAG Day 1 Gymcastic BTS, Jessica said that she had a conversation with Cecile, who is there with Mexican gymnast Jazmyn Jimenez.

According to Jessica, Cecile said that there is an update in the CAS case but it's not yet public. There was no time line offered for when the announcement will be made, just that we'll have to wait for either Jordan, the Romanians, or CAS to see who makes the announcement first.

From Insidegym's IG: "Charleigh Bullock of Team USA has submitted a new element on bars that could potentially become named after her. The skill is a clear pike circle backward with 1½ turn. It would have an E value."

Does anyone know if she's ever competed it? I don't think I follow her on social media, so I don't even think I've seen her train it, but I'd love to see it if anyone can share a link...

I missed their round but the results are shocking to me. did they have a meltdown?

Inspired by a "what happened to Japan" post, I figured I'd list the comparisons for the Day 1 teams for their actual team scores vs the realistic max analysis.

Notes

• Mexico had an overall good day. Victoria Mata hit her Rudi vault, which was a new upgrade. Pineda had a great beam routine and Flores had a new personal best international score from this quad, helping Mexico exceed its beam "realistic max."
• Germany was virtually at its potential on vault, bars, and beam. Its floor rotation featured many mid-7's in execution, but floor may have been more critically evaluated here than at other meets this season.
• Italy was good on vault and bars and outstanding on beam. Tonelli had a stellar Yurchenko 1.5 and Iorio upgraded to a Y1.5 and should make the uneven bars final. On beam, Esposito and Perotti both had execution scores of over 8.0. Since Tonelli and Perotti both fell on floor, Italy had to count a fall on that event.
• With Pass nailing her DTY, Australia had a good day on vault. Pass and McDonald also had their best international scores of the quad on beam today. Unfortunately, McDonald had a couple issues on bars and floor, which drove Australia's scores on those events down a bit. Stewart had a miss on floor as well, so Australia had to count McDonald's 11.733 there.
• The Belgians did well on vault, but had to count two sub-7 E-score routines on beam, which was where they fell most short of their potential.
• Romania's floor scores held up better than the rest of the teams, but Maneca-Voinea's fall on beam and error on the jump out of the double layout on floor were two major drivers of its shortfall versus its potential. Beam in particular was unfortunately very rough for Romania; despite having a couple of bars D-scores in the low 4's, Romania scored worse on beam than bars due to a few falls.
• On vault, Japan had to count a FTT due to a DTY fall. On bars, Nishiyama and Kishi were not quite at their cleanest. On beam, Nakamura did not compete in qualifications, Sugihara had a couple major wobbles, and Nishiyama missed her wolf turn. Okamura had a great routine that fell a bit short of her stratospheric score at Asian Games.

EFs are in Olympic order (Floor - Pommels - Rings - Vault - Pbars - High bar)

A while ago I posted about this documentary.

A quiet rebellion, set in motion

The Gymnasts of Fisherman Colony is an intimate coming-of-age documentary by 3X Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Habiba Nosheen that follows three teenage girls in Pakistan, offering a rare and tender portrait of girlhood, joy, and play told through the eyes of young Pakistani girls navigating the margins of society.

At its core, THE GYMNASTS OF FISHERMAN COLONY is a story of hope and quiet defiance. Through the intimate journeys of three teenagers we witness as their passion for gymnastics begins to clash with deeply rooted expectations around what girls can and cannot do. The film follows their journey as they find themselves straddling two polar opposite worlds as they push to make space for themselves through gymnastics. The result is a lyrical and deeply human portrait of three young girls from a corner of the world we rarely see on screen. These are girls who dare to dream.

It's now about to go on a nationwide theatrical run in the US:

https://www.thegymnastsoffishermancolony.com/#screenings

Get along to see it and report back!

"I really felt it wasn't finished after Paris, and I feel right now that it is finished after this one, because I'm really fulfilled with everything I've accomplished, but also with how I've felt internally at every step on the way here, and with enjoying the sport and having everything in it.

"For me, I could go on forever," Wevers continued. "My passion is enough. But sometimes it's a better decision to say: it's enough." - Sanne Wevers

I watched Round 1 on Eurovision live stream to the best of my ability. The stream showed current apparatus rankings but not AA rankings so I searched online for this info.

I found the following website for live results: https://www.gymart.org/en/worlds

Skye is currently ranked first in AA after Round 1. However, her vault score shows as 14.000 in the AA results and 14.066 in the VT results (see attached screen shot).

Is this simply a typo, was the score changed, or am I missing something?

Golden State Valkyries fans addressed Jennifer Sey during Game 1 of the WNBA Finals following her public stance against transgender athletes competing in the league. Sey, a former U.S. national gymnastics champion, has raised concerns about allowing transgender women to participate.- Yahoo Sports

There are videos of the incident on X (Formerly known as Twitter).

Update: Jennifer wrote an article on her blog addressing the incident.

What would her D score be in theory if she replaced her current 4th pass with the pike half double back.

Eurovision Sport is currently saying their services are unavailable, is this happen to you too ?

He posted on Instagram that he doesn't know where the deduction came from and thought it might have been him celebrating after?

Commenters are saying 2 stag jumps but that seems like it would be in D or E score, not after?

Was he OT, maybe?

According to Scott Bregman on Twitter, Claire, Skye, and Charleigh are doing the AA, Reese is doing VT/UB/FX, and Dulcy is competing on beam.

Knowing this, I have zero complaints on this lineup. Now, I would’ve loved Dulcy to have had the opportunity to make another floor final. However, she’s more of an outside contender, and far away from being a lock by any means. I understand USAG’s reasoning, as it isn’t 100% worth it to give up an AA spot for Dulcy’s floor, and Reese and Claire are more than capable of contending for floor finals with their 6.0+ floor routines!

Lastly, I’m wishing all of the athletes the best of luck tomorrow, I hope Dulcy makes the most of this opportunity, and I’m excited for worlds for the women to start 🥳.

Edit: To add one more thing, this will be Skye’s debut in the AA at a world championships, and I’m absolutely thrilled for her! She deserves this opportunity so much, and I can’t wait to see her floor routine in QF’ing tomorrow :D

I’m sorry, but we’re beyond the point of this being coincidental. There’s absolutely no reason why a back to back US AA champ should be getting injured at worlds. WHY are parents still sending their kids to Valeri?? I truly don’t understand it. WCC has shown how to correctly pace their gymnasts and they’ve already had so much success in such a short period of time, compared to the other gyms in TX. This has clearly become a pattern and I’m ashamed of the parents who don’t see this.

Is Tiana competing at worlds? I haven’t heard anything so I’m assuming no? But really hoped she would be!

As per USA Gymnastics on X. Dulcy Caylor has been added to the roster.

"Hezy Rivera has medically withdrawn from competition at the World Championships. Dulcy Caylor has been added to the 5-person U.S. roster."

Real-Time Judging systems are currently in use for worlds. According to MTC President Andrew Tombs, it was first introduced and tested at the Glagow Commonwealth Games and further tested in Paris WCC a few weeks ago. The Technical committee will now be able to see the exact moment E judges apply deductions during routines.

I posted this in a comment earlier today, but I thought it would get buried and more of you might like it. Here is some basic French gym lingo to help you folllow the qualification commentary. Lmk if some other words would be helpful.
