<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a> MAG Vault:<br />
<br />
Berbercarpet, ROM - Vault 1, double front landed in a deeper birthing squat than a Kardashian breeder - 14.800. Vault 2, Kasamatsu (Kas) 1.5, on the center line, 1 step forward. 14.900 Kas vaults are funky because they are a twist under what it seems like they are.<br />
<br />
San Diego Hippo, BRA - Vault 1, Kas 1.5, 14.956667894. Vault 2, Omelianchik 2/1 twist - really straight, small step forward. Such a difficult vault! 15.133. Happy happy Hippo.<br />
<br />
Thomas' English Muffin, GBR - Vault 1, Yurchenko double pike, high & stuck landing! Lovely - I doubt Steve can stick his. 15.500. Vault 2, double front, birthing a cowboy in the air, small hop back, and team GBR is freaking happy. Insert strange happy British term here. 14.966, grabs the lead.<br />
<br />
Verniaiev Orange You Happy Its Not High Bar, UKR - Vault 1, Dragalescu (double front, 1/2 out) - 1 step forward but great to land it. 15.133 Now if he can just not Ukie the second vault. Vault 2 - Kas 2/1 to powder blue butt on center line, falls off the side of the mat. Orange hath Ukied. 13.766.<br />
<br />
Sergio Armanasaski the Second, BRA - Vault 1, Dragalescu, small hop back, decent tuck position, step - great vault! 15.333 Vault 2 - Kas 1.5, large bunny hop forward.14.866, moves into second! Armanasaki & Hippo hug it out.<br />
<br />
Kenzo, JPN - Vault 1, Yurchenko... triple? Was that the Kenzo? Wait, it's only a DTY? Kid twists too fast. Oh wait, it was the TTY - 15.366. He's like video game amazing. Vault 2 - Kas 1.5, step, 14.900. English Muffin is still in the lead!<br />
<br />
IAmLegendre, USA - Vault 1, open Dragalescu, hop forward & to side but great form in the air. Hits sideline. 15.266. Vault 2 - here's where he has an advantage, another 6.0 vault - Kas double pike, one step back. Nice! Does he have the E score to pass Muffin? Both have the POWAH OF THE RED SHORTS, which has been an advantage so far. IAmLegendre goes into the lead with a 15.233!<br />
<br />
Hak Perm Yang, KOR - Vault 1, handspring 2/1 twist, gorgeous twisting form, 1 step forward & to side. Easily completes the twist with his fluffy perm. A stunning 15.733. Vault 2 - another 6.0 vault as he starts facing away from the vault - that's not a good way to run Perm. Now faces the vault. Easy Kas 2/1, and it looks like he's done it. He twists so little in the preflight he's in danger of not doing the 1/4 on, which would then give him the same 2 preflights. 15.333 and he wins! And poses for a Beats by Dr. Dre ad in his headphones. IAmLegendre waves to the camera because medal! And we won't even mention that the arena played Gangnam Style! Oh wait we did!<br />
<br />
Medal! Perm - gold, IAmLegendre - silver, Muffin - bronze.<br />

Beam:<br />
<br />
DBF RUS - Lovely blue leo today with matching eye shadow. Holy cow, hits both opening sequences cold. 2.5 pirouette. She's super on today, probably because she's out for blood b/c she didn't make floor final. Disguises a step back on the double tuck dismount. She really, really wishes she had that routine on Friday in the AA final. 14.900, 8.9E - great job.<br />
<br />
Thank you arena dude for announcing no flash photography. USAGym announcer dude, please take note. When do we get a lady dude announcing? Just asking.<br />
<br />
Spumonilito ITA - Oh sweet baby leo jesus, she's wearing the pink, green & white leo mom picked out again. Matching spumoni eye shadow. Wobble after her connected birthing sheep jump. Passable switch ring. Ro 2.5 dismount, hop. She looks happy as she hugs teammate cutout. On replay the bhs bhs layout 2ft looks whipped like Iordache's. 14.283.<br />
<br />
DBF has submitted an inquiry - let's see if her D score goes up. OH DENIED! DBF is not happy.<br />
<br />
Cutout, ITA - amazingly, no cutouts appear on her leo. Sure, plenty of mesh, but baby steps. Planche mount. Nice ro 2ft layout. Front aerial, slight pause, sheep jump. I like the leo - blue torso, black netting sleeves & v neck, of course the non figure-enhancing encrusted boob M with pink stripeys. Double pike dismount, huge step back. The takeoff on the layout replay is just an ew no - bent legs. We wait through the inquiry rejection. 14.300, and she barely passes teammate Spumoni.<br />
<br />
Shang Childsong, CHN because 9! Pink sparkle makeup & hairspray with a leo of maroon bottom, zaggy gold stripe in middle and black netting on top. After she graduates 6th grade, she's all set to compete for ASU. Very steady routine, has to rush to get the dismount in. Double pike, one step and she's done! She needs to get her legs together faster on the back layout, but it's high & nice. She even has a decent back set on the double pike even though she won't get hips until she's <strike>17</strike> 24. 14.133 with a low 7.9E.<br />
<br />
SeeMoneAyyy, USA - break after series, huge bobble on front tuck, low dismount with large step forward. Great otherwise, but they're going to knock the 3 major errors big time. 14.133<br />
<br />
Longines, USA - in the lovely Japan Junior red leo. Over twists a full turn. Lovely front aerial, sheep jump. Nails the side flip. Switch leap, back tuck - cold. Front aerial - cold. Front tuck fish jump, stuck. Hop back on double tuck. Gorgeous routine, let's hope they don't nail her pauses in between the series too much. The judges will love only one disguised bobble in the entire routine. 14.733, 8.833 E. They did get the pauses.<br />
<br />
SeeMoneAyy has now submitted an inquiry! I would say that inquiries are the new black but now that would be racist although I never meant it to be! Fashion! Make it work!<br />
<br />
Iordache ROM - immediately off on the back layout! Shocking! Then the bell inexplicably goes off in the middle her routine! Someone is bell happy.<br />
<br />
And now Ross submits an inquiry, so it's no longer racist! Inquiries ARE the new black! And Simone's score was raised .2 and she moves into 3rd with a 6.1 D, bumped up from 5.9D!<br />
<br />
Rodionova of the Toepoint, RUS - Gorgeous purple leo with purple netting on arms & v neck and matching purple nails. Immediately off on that insane bhs Arabian pass. Too bad. She again points her toes to remind us how awesome she is. The only thing now standing between DBF and gold is the Ross inquiry. Toepoint sticks the double tuck ironically but low, and we wait. DBF doesn't approve of the fall on replay. 13.100<br />
<br />
Longines inquiry accepted! And is still 2nd with a 14.833!<br />
<br />
Final standings: DBF - gold, Longines - silver, SeeMoneAyyy - bronze with a 14.333. Hey, Australia - you should've sent a gymnast or two! Silly Aussies, Beam Trix are for Kids!<br />

Parallel Bars<br />
<br />
I'm really looking forward to both PB & HB finals - almost all of the top people made it, so it should be a great battle! To the inquiry death!<br />
<br />
Chaopan CHN - gorgeous start, effortless awesome sequences. I just love his form and ease. Stuck the double pike dismount, .1 for low landing. And NO pads on his biceps - he left some Chaopan on the bars. 15.666, very hard to follow.<br />
<br />
BerberCarpet ROM - already off on a back toss, has to side kip. Lovely Bhavsar. One step back on the double pike. Carpet did not look pleased - but he was the one who neglected to wear red pants. 15.000<br />
<br />
King Kohei JPN - one hand replacement. Double back toss. Pike double back toss. More tosses than an Olive Garden salad. Double pike, low & stuck. 15.666, because ties! Both Kohei & Chaopan into first.<br />
<br />
His Body is a Zonderland NED - Epke uses the power of his long legs in orange pants to struggle though his first sequence. Insane pirouette sequence to side kip. Hop back on double pike dismount. 15.300<br />
<br />
Belgium Announcer: "Ladies, if you want to marry him, you can take your place in the back of the queue." Okay USAGym announcer dude, you can let a few arena flashes go off. Never leave me. That was horrifying, and I'm one of those ladies who would be in that queue. Ick.<br />
<br />
Tsolatkes GRE - Vasileiosiakis misses one skill, gives up, dismounts prematurely with a single layout, and walks off to the strains of Zorba the Greek. Matching competitor nationality to music is always risky. At this point, I'm just glad the arena isn't playing the Americans off to Green Day's "American Idiot." "Born in the USA" is ironic enough, especially for a country interrupted by Ted Cruz, who was born in Canada.<br />
<br />
F*kin UZB - Literally does one skill and hops off. The crowd is now clapping because dudes, don't just fall & walk off. He gets back up because Powah of the Sisterhood of the Red Pants! Lovely rest of the routine except for a couple of hand replacements. And then struggles on a press to handstand, is now really tired from improvising and doesn't even flip his aborted routine dismount. Marta would have a stroke coaching men's gymnastics.<br />
<br />
BranTanWynnGym USA - white jersey, immediately has a hand placement issue. Then rocks an amazing skill, then is short on another skill but literally just presses out of it into a handstand. Extra swing. Houston, we have butter bars. Double pike.<br />
<br />
Orozco USA - wearing Power of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Red Pants and Pink Socks. Rocking the routine, and really looking for a medal to rock his rebuilt knee. Small shuffle on dismount but the crowd is ecstatic he didn't suffer from butter bars. And the arena has picked YMCA as the music now. You can have a good time! Y! M! C! A! Marinich looks happy, Orozco moves into 3rd with 15.533.<br />
<br />
You CHN - It's all about You, who is wearing Li Ning brand armpads because he's not as manly as Chaopan, and shows it when he has a dip after a press to handstand. Amazing double front 1/2 off - it's like the Dragalescu of dismounts. 15.500, only 4th.<br />
<br />
Medals - Chaopanpan & KoheiKong gold, Orozco bronze.<br />

Women's FX with the NFL! On! N! B! C! music.<br />
<br />
Cutout ITA - now wearing a red leo - short on Silivas, hop forward. Tuck full-in w/ messy legs, stop, codewhores a standing back tuck after it. Double tuck. Ferrari leap. Sticks dismount double pike - lovely job. We now see she has an Olympic rings tattooed on the back of her neck, because the Olympic spirit in the Matrix! 14.633.<br />
<br />
Murakmai JPN - and FINALLY we get to see her in a World/Olympic competition! That took forever! Almost sticks her opening double layout, small hop. Small hop after her Silivas. 1 1/2 to front full. Nice turn - triple? Quad! Hops forward on end triple full, but I think her music has gone overtime as well, like Maroney's! But no penalty taken.<br />
<br />
SeeMoneAyy USA - big hop back after Silivas - so easy for her. Small hop on double layout 1/2. Nice double lunge turn with windmill arms. 2.5 to front layout, hop. Easy tuck full-in, big hop. Lovely routine, but she's left room for the others with easily .8 in hops.<br />
<br />
Iordache ROM - Silivas, hop forward. And now my video freezes for the tuck full-in. Once again, great music, too heavy for her. Triple full, hop. She rocks the choreography, double pike, 2 small steps back. Crowd loves it, crazy Romanian fan with Romanian flag clown wig loves it. The slo-mo of her Silivas shows great leg form, ironically far better than her eggbeater leg form on the tuck full-in. 14.600, into 3rd and she is pisssssssssed.<br />
<br />
McGruber SUI - Her red leo has little Swiss crosses on it. Giant 1/1 double layout, but bounces out of it, 2 steps. Double layout, small bounce. Double tuck, one step forward - silly mistake. Double pike, one step forward. 14.333<br />
<br />
Izpasta ROM - giant pike full-in, hop back. Out of control leap after next pass. Like that Romanian leos have suddenly discovered purple. Can we talk the pink blush? Why are we wearing pink pink on our cheeks? Stuck tuck full-in. Ironically sits down the last pass - nooooooooo! She laughs, we are sad. 13.733<br />
<br />
Longines USA - Disembodied voices wail as she hits the opening double Arabian, stag leap. Hand whip. Full-in with messy legs. Single turn? Really? No double or triple? Double pike, one step. She looks winded here! Double tuck, hop forward. Looks like Biles has it. Ohhh, into 5th! 14.333. Buuuurn.<br />
<br />
Black, Oh CAN - Opening 2.5 through to TF - low, step. Great pass of running front layout full through to double tuck. No OOB on what looked like a dismount double Arabian.<br />
<br />
Now the arena is singing to a cover of Sweet Caroline. Bah! Buh! Bah! And 13.566 is the score for "Sweet Elsabeth" - thanks Belgian announcer dude. You've been creepy.<br />
<br />
Medals - SeeMoneAyyy gold! Cutout silver! Iordakayyyy bronze! MARCH KITTENS!<br />

Men's High Bar! With the NFL on N! B! C!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tan's the Man Sam USA - has heard me from yesterday and worn a WHITE JERSEY! Show that tan! Thank you BrandonWynnTanGym! Catches the Cassina & Kolman. Tkachev 1/2, small hop on the double layout dismount - great job! Redemption for the AA meltdown! Arena plays I Gotta Feelin'! 15.566<br />
<br />
AllHailUchimura JPN - insane Cassina, caught high. Insane Kolman. Both immaculate form. Stalls & bends in a handstand. Layout double double, patented UchiStick. 15.633 for first!<br />
<br />
NotFabuchen BrentSpiner GER - Data has a great Cassina, great layout Tkachev, nice Tak 1/2, he's really rocking this routine. Low landing, hop on dismount. 15.158<br />
<br />
HisBodyIsAZonderland NED - he looks ready to throw everything and the kitchen sink. Cassina (leg separation) Kovacs combo! Kolman Gaylord 2 combo! Sticks the dismount - INSANE! 16.000, with a gaudy 7.7D.<br />
<br />
Kato JPN - meh. Great routine, but literally can't watch after EpkeHit. 15.1ish<br />
<br />
Chaopan CHN - meh. Good routine, low dismount. Still smoking post coital EpkeHit electronic ciggy. 14.900. Whee.<br />
<br />
Fabuchen GER - Great Cassina, great Kohlman, hits everything else, small hop on his layout double-double. That should be a medal. 15.933 for second, 7.4D! Sam Bam Tan Man into 4th.<br />
<br />
Jossimar Orlando Calvo Moreno Adios Muchacho - as much as I love Jossimar, he has no chance to medal here. Although he tries - lovely Liukin (layout Tkachev 1/1), Kolman, Kovacs, looks like Tak 1/1, layout double double, stuck! Good job! 5th, but an amazing 7.2D.<br />
<br />
HisBodyIsAZonderland - gold. Fabuchen - silver. UchiMoraAndMora - bronze.<br />

It's 5:30am leftist coast. The national parks may be shut down but I Antwerq for you. However, there is the matter of only one comment yesterday. Your comments today will determine whether this is a live blog tomorrow or a blissful tape delay blog.<br />

<br />
Let's party this get started. Need coffee.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Men's FX:<br />
<br />
King Kohei JPN - amazing landings, including the patented stuck triple full. Bow down kittens. 15.500.<br />
<br />
Steve Legendre USA! USA! USA! - sick opening front double full, immediate tucked double front, one step. Open piked double arabian dismount. 6.8D, but only 15.366.<br />
<br />
San Diego Hypolito BRA - more hops than CHN hoppy (AAer Zhou). No medal for Sandy Eggo Hyppo. Which doesn't bode well for Legendre, because his 6.9 D ties him at 15.366.<br />
<br />
Fabuchen, GER - sticks both front passes with a giant birthing squat. Which we would mind, but Fabuchen. Lovely flairs sequence. Messy tuck full-in to finish, slid feet, hop back. We are living for the hearty IAmLegendre/Fabuchen hug afterward. 15.300.<br />
<br />
Dalton, USA - .3 hops the giant opening pass, then cold sticks the piked double Arabian that dropped from the moon. Sticks the triple full dismount better than Kohei - he only needs the Kohei mop hair to complete the effect. Magic of the red shorts kittens. Mark Williams feels the powah of the red shorts. Kohei is looking slightly interested. 15.6! Ahead of King Kohei! Kohei crosses his arms to say "Oklahoma, please."<br />
<br />
Scott Morgan, Canadiana - Sticks opening double layout 1/1 pass. Lovely early '90s retro double layout, punch front 1 1/4. Great landings in the interior. Side pass running double full front, tucked front 1/1. Large step forward on the dismount tuck full-in - hopefully it doesn't mess up the rest of the score and it does - 14.7ish something whatevs.<br />
<br />
Purv, GBR - did someone perform? I only saw a giant white light with messy legs on an opening tucked 1/1 or 2/1 (white blur), but great layout Thomas and only .1 step on dismount. 15.400 - IAmLegend/San Diego Hippo are down to 4th.<br />
<br />
Shirai, JPN - all bow to the twisting teen - he's 17! A couple of hops, so apparently he does have nerves. Opening 3.5 immediate 2.5 that finished with a step cross-legged. Ends with a shuffle on the quad full. Looks like he did the full 7.4D routine. Love the ninja butterfly pass into corner - kittens, THAT is how you win judging love. Jake Dahltoon is hopeful but really, he shouldn't be - the only hope is the steps. Waiting, waiting. Photogs are picking which one of them to be near for a reaction. 16.000 with that gaudy 7.4D. Floor dude, you delivered.<br />
<br />
Kenzo of the Shirai 16.000 gold, Dahltoon silver, Kohei bronze. MARCH KITTENS!<br />

<br />
<div>
Women's vault - already we see that there was some scheduling confusion, since Beijing vault gold & silver medalists Hong & Chussy had to interrupt their swimming, climb out of the pool and run to vault finals.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Guilianaja Steingruber SUI - Vault 1, rudi, nice - she's really mastered the pike to pop off the table, only slightly separated legs on the preflight. We see a billion replays from a billion angles to admire the crossed feet. 15.500, 9.3E. Vault 2, decent DTY, landed low & abruptly in a deep pike, small step forward. Why does she have advertising on her boobage? 14.966.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pena DOM - we light a candle so she makes her 1st vault, a double front (Produnova) around. She barely lands feet first before bouncing back onto her but because she still hasn't mastered the repulsion from the table. But, survival kittens! The candles worked! 14.6ish, because it's a 7.0 D, 7.6ish E. Horrid 2nd vault, a straddled DTY she lands stiff-legged and pitches into a back roll upon landing. Poor kid. 13.466.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Chussy UZB - Really? You had to go from GER to UZB the year Worlds were held in Belgium? The crowd would be twice as loud if you had that GER next to your name. Messy-legged rudi, 14.633. Vault 2 - Tsuk 1.5, large hop forward. Her blue w/ yellow sleeveless leo does look like she just arrived from poolside. She looks less than happy - 14.533. That won't content here today.<br />
<br />
Phan VIE - the lovely Tokyo vault medalist looks ready for action. She had good qualification scores but a low, piked, messy-legged rudi landed with a side step did not do her any favors. 14.966. Vault 2 - flashed Amanar, but it's a DTY while still twisting into the mat. She never got the twist around, risked her knee health and is lucky to still be intact. 13.633. See kid, what if you had done the nice DTY you have?<br />
<br />
Netteb NED - Vault 1, pitches back & falls on her DTY. It didn't look dangerous, but she has now suffered the knee injury everyone expected Phan to have.<br />
<br />
Biles USA! USA! USA! - After scraping Netteb off the mat, it's up to the new World AA champion to go. Vault 1 - huge Amanar, twisted feet, small hop to side, and the crowd gives her the appropriate love. 15.933, and she needs to land somewhere near her feet to pass Steingruber. Love the American purple leo, although it would be nice if they did the not put the blinding fabric on the torso. Vault 2 - layout Pod, tiny hop! What a difference a year makes! Literally, a year ago she would've bounced around all over the place on that vault. 15.258 and she moves ahead of SteinerMcGruber.<br />
<br />
Hong PRK - my kickstarter will be to add sleeves to the PRK leotards. I'll do a Alyssa Milano somber slightly crying mostly pleading video - every day. She vaults... sleeveless. Won't you help? Vault 1 - great preflight Amanar, but large hop forward since she was still slightly twisting. 15.566. Messy 2nd vault (just a Cheng - whatevs, right?) and Biles remains in the lead.<br />
<br />
MEMETIME USA - The Olympic vault silver medalist who launched a thousand memes has a slight preflight leg separation, appears to stick then has an awkward step to the side to salute. Judges give her a gaudy 9.7E, but a -.1 ND, 15.9ish to score right around Biles' Amanar. Vault 2 - Mustafina, step forward - we'll see if she gets the score to give her the gold over Biles' almost stuck vault which was 1/2 twist less. 15.483, and she does it!<br />
<br />
Gold - MEMETIME. Silver - Biles. Bronze - Sleeveless PRK. MEDALS KITTENS!<br />

Pommel Horse<br />
<br />
Zhang CHN - hits. Fluffy hair. Looks happy. 15.600.<br />
<br />
Busnari ITA - he's not a rhythm guy - he codewhores the hell out of pommels by flairing to handstand after a few circles. So imagine a guy who circles, practices a dismount sequence, and then gets back to circling. We love a smart codewhore and we miss PH flairs. Thank you Alberto! 7.1D, ties for first at 15.600!<br />
<br />
Sellathurai AUS - blindingly fast low circles, but literally hits his lowness into the side of the PH and is off. Adore the rhythm but it didn't pay off for him this time. 14.033<br />
<br />
Whitlock GBR - we are rooting for Whitlock to become the first human to air flair pommel horse, since he already does it on fx, and he has fluffy hair and a delightful accent. Great counter-rotation circles, shows off the dismount sequence. He needs better toepoint all around. Max, work the feet & toes - they are your PH friendsies. Good routine! A camera closeup shows what looks like duct tape on a finger - what the heck is that? Into 1st with a gaudy 7.2D and 15.633!<br />
<br />
Seligman CRO - questionable shadow beard but lovely high, fast circles. He looks like he's being sped fast forward, but unfortunately speeds too fast to get himself into the desired handstand for the dismount - he just circles off & salutes. 15.433.<br />
<br />
Kameyama JPN - does a Busnari-like sequene at the beginning but so. much. style. Great circles, literally pike presses to handstand for the dismount. Great routine. 15.833! Well deserved!<br />
<br />
Corral Barron MEX - ahhhhh, white pants white socks doing lovely scissors, then a melange of great circles, slight pause pressing to handstand but demonstrates control and great pirouette to dismount. Another 15.633, which is apparently the new black. And Mexico has an EF medal!<br />
<br />
Petrov, RUS - Petrol has totes gorge flairs, now nice circles but has some leg separations saving a sequence. Good routine, nice dismount - I expect more from him. Also, can we note the nice white Russian MAG v-neck jerseys and how good they look on men with a tan, Sam Mikulak? 15.416.<br />

<br />
Womens bars!<br />
<br />
Jinnan CHN - nice Khorkina, Pak, Khorkina 2 transition. Catches the Gaylord but low, and peels off the high bar almost onto her face and a fall. So sad - she really had a chance for a gold here. Her green & yellow sleeveless leo makes her look like an Aussie transplant from PRK, but I like the leo. 14.633 but a gaudy 6.9 D score.<br />
<br />
Huang CHN - purple, pink & white version of Jinnan's leo. Piked stalder on low bar. Same transition sequence as Jinnan. Ono to piked Jaeger. Tuck full in dismount, stuck. Great job, especially for gripless bar work. She waves at the camera and we love her. 15.400.<br />
<br />
Downie GBR - a bright pink leo trying to capture Team USA PINKVEGAS POWAH - great routine including a Ricna and piked Tkachev and right before the dismount, over on a handstand and is off. What a shame! 13.800<br />
<br />
Scheder GER - nice form including a difficult straight shoot to high and inside stalder Khorkina - is that a Komova I? Hop back on her low tuck full-in dismount. She works bars quickly & cleanly. 14.683<br />
<br />
Biles USA - in qualifications, she was "Simon" Biles. Today she's See-mone-ay! Good clean start, still foot form issues on the Tkachev, rocks the piked Tkachev-Pak sequence, one hop on her tuck full-in dismount. She needs to keep her legs together on casts and the Maloney. 14.716<br />
<br />
Ross USA - lovely routine aside from the foot separations on the transitions. Sticks the double layout dismount. LonginesRoss delivered. 15.266, into 2nd place behind Huang.<br />
<br />
DBF RUS - Bitch wants her gold. Doesn't connect the 2nd transition to high, but really nailing the rest of the routine including the Seitz. Can't disguise 2 steps back on her Mustafina dismount - too bad. Between that and the lost connection it might put her behind Huang. 15.033, into 3rd. Huang is really starting to realize what is going on now - it's doubtful final competitor Harrold can pass her.<br />
<br />
Harrold GBR - This is a great routine including a Bhardwaj and inside Stalder Shaposh to immediate shoot through to low, like Mary Lou Retton had in 1984. What is it with the Retton reminders this week? 2 steps back on her low double front dismount. 14.333.<br />
<br />

<br />
Rings final! Phew, I'm sleepy, but Brandon Wynn's tan gives me the energy & self confidence to push through!<br />
<br />
Ait Said FRA - nice clean routine, got interrupted by a text from a gym friend in town. 15.500<br />
<br />
Balandin RUS - this guy ALL DAY EVERY DAY - holy cannoli. He doesn't swing up to anything - he presses directly into a planche or a Maltese. Sick, sick controlled strength. Well deserved 15.733 into first.<br />
<br />
Nabarrete BRA - hits cold, sticks the dismount but I still can't stop thinking about Balandin's routine - everything else looks easy compared to it. And now stupid arena music won't stop playing. 15.800 to pass Balandin.<br />
<br />
Pinheiro Rodrigues FRA - I don't even know that insane strength move he just did - it's an upside down Maltese. Unfortunately puts his hand down on the dismount. 14something.<br />
<br />
Wynn USA - See Sam? Your white jersey will show off your tan! And your insane strength because Wynn is killing it. FLARES his double layout 1/1 dismount and sticks it cold. His coach is hopping around. The USA section is hopping around. The arena music is hopping around to "No Speak Americano," then starts playing the intro to "Beat It." He is not rewarded, getting only an 8.966 E to go 15.666 into 3rd. BOOOOO.<br />
<br />
Liu CHN - Clean routine, but a low dismount and hop could kill him. Only 15.633, into 4th.<br />
<br />
van Gelder NED - Okay, it looks like he's playing with the multiple Malteses here - insane strength. Disguises steps on the dismount. He lost the lottery on his chest - only 15.533 into 5th.<br />
<br />
And now there's an inquiry for Wynn's score! Let's see if his D score gets raised.<br />
<br />
Yamamuro JPN - Yamamuro has already picked up swing, but dampened it down nicely during his strength transitions. Looking tired towards the end - low double layout 2/1, low & hop forward. 15.433 into 7th.<br />
<br />
And we're still waiting for Wynn's inquiry.<br />
<br />
Now judging by coach Casmiro Suarez's reaction with the judges, his D score has not been raised and the results stand, which I'm fine with. They are:<br />

A bronze for the bronze Wynn! And a silver for the rather silver Balandin. And a gold for Warm Nabarette!<br />
<br />
Hey, why does Brazil get anthem words and no one else does? They're already posing for pictures when the announcer tells them to pose for a picture. Because apparently the announcer reads words, and does not look up. Disembodied voices hat are the arena music wail them off the podium. And now the winners walk off again to Blurred Lines because hey hey hey! Gah.<br />
<br />
Thank you to King Kohei & Prince & the New Power Generation Kenzo! Thank you WynnGy and your awesome coach Suarez - better color medal next time! Thank you Baladin for leaving me speechless - really, pressing up to everything on rings doesn't get you a gold? Thank you SeeMoneAy Biles - only DBF kept you off the bars podium! Thank you DBF! Thank you purple leos of Chna & USA! Thank you Longines & congrats to your 2 silver medals! Thank you IAmLegendre - your Olympic fx medal is in your sights! And congrats to everyone else. I'll see you tomorrow!<br />

Unfortunately we already see a sea of pink with a shimmering Swarovski display. Vegas kittens! Let's get this Belgian waffle partay started!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>We start with a lovely Belgian on floor, but then get down to business with PINKPOWAH Kyla Ross. She hits her dty with a tiny hop back with ease for a 15.366 - nice generous scoring there! Let's see how they buckle down for the Amanars...<br />
<br />
Gigantic Amanar from PINKPOWAH Simone Biles, large step forward, ankles crossed in the twist but wow. 15.85.<br />
<br />
Chinese gymnast Shang Chunsong, who is <strike>11</strike> 17 1/2 vaults a lovely piked FTY with no power. I think she'll get much better on vault once she grows hips in a few years at 23...<br />
<br />
Musty disguises a hop on her DTY by immediately hopping 1/4 into a salute. Very NCAA of you! Wouldn't you DIE to see her with some Miss Val choreo? 14.891<br />
<br />
Iordache hops a straddled-on DTY for 15.033 in her red/gray/black/depression leo. Ross really was rewarded for superior dynamics on her 15.366.<br />
<br />
Tunney on beam for GBR immediately off on a roundoff layout 2ft. Shows some nerves the rest of the routine (jump HIGHER on that sissone so you can hit a 180 and not wobble!) but ends with a nice ro double pike. See MyKayla, THAT is a back set. Learn that before your triple back attempts into a very, very low pit.<br />
<br />
Teramoto JPN with a lovely floor routine, working to a bluesy guitar/synth arrangement. Kohei has rubbed off on the entire JPN program - we get all of these wonderful gymnasts working difficult skills cleanly. Can we get Biles training in Japan? And don't get me started about Clubfoot, who is still threatening a comeback.<br />
<br />
Popa Nedelcu ESP of the purple people eaters leo works a nice, powerful, clean bars set ending with a double layout 1/1, 1 step back. The Romanians would do well to get her some dual citizenship before Rio timelines expire - what a bars asset she could be for them.<br />
<br />
Ferrolito is wearing a leo 100000000% better than yesterday - black sleeves, blue torso, so much better than the pink/green "my mother made me wear it" abomination that we almost forgive her. Can someone please kidnap Ferrari in her red w/ shoulder cutouts stupidity and make her wear this leo instead?<br />
<br />
Oh Seitz. This music is cool, and you're cool, but this music not the style droids you're looking for. And there's a reason Marta reigned in Maroney's Shhhh! Classic hair. It's because a woodland creature on the back of your head is distracting.<br />
<br />

Ross is on bars, Moors hits her Worlds-first layout double double on floor, and live we have to suffer through Mys freaking VAULTING? Someone murder the producer. I'm not kidding here, kittens.<br />
<br />
Ross hits a gorgeous bars routine on the replay, even stalls the handstand after her blind change. Small hop on dismount. You just want to watch her swing all day long. She goes 15.100.<br />
<br />
Biles hits her routine, even showing off a couple of dead-on handstands! Someday both she & Clubfoot will learn to not do a wide straddle on a Maloney, but whatevs. She hit and that's all Marta wants. And in the end, shouldn't we all want what Marta wants? Now all I want for Christmas is an Amanar and an eating disorder. Have YOU starved like Kyla today? 14.700 - apparently I wasn't the only one kinda horrified she had the top bars E scores of any gymnast in qualifications.<br />
<br />
Rodionova on beam - whoopsie - did she go overtime? There should be a +.1 Neutral Addition for that toepoint. LOVELY. Are you watching juniors of the world? 12.066<br />
<br />
Musty hits her insane bars set, including the mixed-grip Seitz to immediate low transition. Some feet apart, and once again disguises a hop foward on the dismount into an NCAA salute. I'm once again having delusions of Musty as a Bruin. Imagine the dismount Chris Waller could teach her. And the haughty Miss Val choreography. Musty teaching team trainer Wieber how to swing. Le sigh. 15.233<br />
<br />
Gah - Iordache on bars. Can she learn to not straddle her Pak? Can it be done? And whose grip is wider, Iordache or Clubfoot? Bad bars basics is like a Romanian disease spreading through the world. Please no one let a Romanian near Round Lake. 14.200<br />
<br />
Yao Jinnan swung a decent bars set and didn't get a facectomy on her Gaylord, so that's a bonus. Her coach is happy about the lack of facectomy. 15.333.<br />
<br />
MARCH KITTENS! 2nd rotation results are icky since the FIG microsite appears to have crashed. Sigh.<br />

Okay, that's kind of it. Biles waits to go first on beam - a pressure situation for her! Marta mount, hits the 2.5 lunge turn with windmill arms. She's really cruising through this - anyone remember back in March when she was stressing beam at America Can Only Win Cup? She has slight wobbles, but is just attacking through it, large hop on her 2 bhs - tuck full-in mount. You go TEAMPINKVEGASPOWAH. 14.433.<br />
<br />
Ferrari on fx - nails the opening Silivas. And for the woman who popularized the current Eurotrash trend of disembodied vocals in fx music, she uses a strict instrumental tango arrangement with a little bit of tacky synth string backing. Oh gurl, the giant McDonalds "M" in chest crystals is not doing your boobs a favor. Where is Miuccia Prada to rescue us? 14.466<br />
<br />
Drat - Shang Childsong is already off beam with her 2ft layout. I was in the process of typing how she works beam like it's 10' wide because to her, it is. Literally no wobbles the rest of the routine. Now comes the difficult dismount - roundoff double pike, stuck cold. You go Childsong! 13.700 - sad face.<br />
<br />
Vasiliki Misouli is literally wearing wrinkly flesh fabric all over her arms on fx. Who dropped out to give this 1st reserve a spot? I like that she has pretty arms but it doesn't match what her legs are dancing. And to emphasize her age, she wears beam shoes straight outta 1984. Seriously, watch 1984 Mary Lou Retton work beam with those SAME shoes.<br />
<br />
Musty, aka Diva Bitch Face, covers up a multitude of wobble sins with her arms but can't disguise a waist bend after her double turn. 14.166. Rock the fx DBF!<br />
<br />
Iordache hits her bhs-tucked full, but unexpectedly off on her straddled 2-foot layout. This bronze is anyone's game now. Hits her dismount sequence of ro bhs to triple full. 13.833.<br />
<br />
Yao Jinnan beam - immediately off on her standing tucked full - the beam is eating the bronze peloton alive. I never realized before yesterday how appropriate a cycling analogy was to a competition held so close to Roubaix - thank you Uncle Tim! Yao sadly hits the rest of her routine as we wait for Ross. Biles must be so thrilled to have beam over while she watches all of these other missteps.<br />
<br />
Ross beam - slow on front aerial - sheep connection. Wobble on side flip. Lovely switch leap, back tuck. Cold on side aerial. Beam clinic - sticks double tuck dismount. She may grab the lead here. Stunning routine.<br />
<br />
MARCH KITTENS! Your leaders after 3 rotations:<br />
<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ross 44.999 Biles 44.983 Mustafina 44.290 Yao Jinnan 43.766</span><br />
<br />
Thank you Inside Gymnastics for tweeting what the FIG live results page cannot currently handle, because MATH. Someday the lovely Longines live app will recognize what a Chromebook is.<br />
<br />
Shang Childsong on fx. Low triple full immediate punch front. Music incredibly appropriate for the 9 y/o that she looks like. It may be hokier than Julie's original music in American Anthem, and that featured oompah horns. And ends with Sharks with Freakin Laser Beams! This is a standard music cut used in the junior ranks here - apparently China is over with custom music after Beijing. 13.700<br />
<br />
I love how Biles & Ross are sitting around trying to pretend that Biles didn't have a .7 fx D score advantage in qualifications.<br />
<br />
<strike>Musty</strike> DBF hits her first 2 passes cold. Looks a little knee-pained on the low landing of the triple full. One step on closing double tuck. Love watching the replay of the 1st pass, where she fell in qualis - 2 whips through to double Arabian, stag jump. Watching her untape alllllllll of that ankle tape. DBF suffers for your artistic sins kittens. 14.566, and my suspicions are confirmed - Rodionova looks like she changed leotards during the competition.<br />
<br />
Iordache nails her opening Silivas and tucked full-in with messy legs. Arm flap choreography - I really like this music, but it feels to heavy for her. It's Die Harder 14 with a Vengance, and she's all JLo rom-com. 14.700<br />
<br />
Popa Nedelcu (love her leo color! hate the boobalicious widening gold accents!) vaults a dty like a good Romanian expat for 14.800.<br />
<br />
Yao Jinnan hits her opening triple full, stag jump beautifully but takes a large step on her 2nd pass. Delightful music - like Iordache should use it next year. I don't care if it features some Chinese instruments - it's wonderful and folky but with a hard guitar edge. Sticks her dismount double tuck pass cold. 13.866, into 3rd behind DBF & Iordache.<br />
<br />
Ross takes to the floor needing only 13.857 to top DBF. Hits 1st pass cold, takes a step on tuck full-in with messy legs. The rest of the time, we're all loving her regal dance and even hit the Ferrari leap. One step forward on double pike. Will she have the endurance for the last pass? Stood up and even a step back! Marta is thrilled - guuuud gurlie! TEAMVEGASPINKPOWAH. Yukko Ferrari 14.400 tucked Y1.5. Kyla goes 14.533.<br />
<br />
Biles takes to the floor with a vengance. If they're going to give her savage people music, why not give her the awesome Avatar soundtrack? Everyone is happily clapping along as she makes her 6.5 routine look easy. Big hop forward on the tuck full-in. Looks like she has it! TEAMVEGASWIDESHOULDERPINKPOWAH! They wait for the scores and it looks like she has it - the arena loved her - she does it with a 15.233, putting her over 60. Ross 2nd. DBF bronze.<br />
<br />

Wait wait - KOHEI is herrrrrre! Oh wait - Kohei and Kyla are getting the Longines prize for elegance! Yes!!! So apparently Kyla can't accept the chronograph and $5K if she keeps her NCAA eligibility? How does it work? Gah NCAA - you and those archaic rules.<br />
<br />
And now, right before awarding a 16 y/o her world championship, the arena plays "Blurred Lines." The full lyrics are here: <a href="http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/robinthicke/blurredlines.html">http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/robinthicke/blurredlines.html</a><br />

Congrats to TEAMVEGASWIDESHOULDERPINKPOWAH! for going 1-2. Congrats to DBF for her bronze - she may be studying some videos of Kyla before 2014 Nannnnnnnnning. Congrats to Iordache for making me wish for a traditional white Romanian leo. Congrats to Shang Childsong, the best gymnast in the competition who hasn't yet been born. Congrats to Ferrari - sure Carolita can wear a classy leo, but you keep on keepin on with the boob sparkle encrusting and cutouts.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A stunning, and yes, quite catty move for Team USA this morning. After Brenna Dowell participated in Subdivision 1 podium training (with Kyla Ross), where she only trained vault & bars, </span><a href="http://usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=12909&prog=" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">USA Gymnastics issued a press release</a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> saying that Dowell was now an alternate and that meme-sation OGM McKayla Maroney was competing AA.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=12909&prog="><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></a></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=12909&prog="><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></a></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inside Gymnastics just <a href="http://www.insidegymnastics.com/content/show/2013-world-championships.aspx?articleid=1767&zoneid=100" target="_blank">released some quotes from Marta</a> about the situation. From that article:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">“McKayla picked up the preparations very well and she showed much better consistency on those two events, so we felt that she definitely could be a contender in the All-Around scene and that’s why we decided this way.”</span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and later:</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">“Both Kyla and McKayla are very dedicated and they really love the sport and they love to compete,” Karolyi said. “After they finished their duties or their hectic (post-Olympic) schedule, they definitely were going into a very systematic preparation, just like they did just before the Olympics, because that’s the condition - just because you won a gold medal doesn’t mean you will be a different person and you can do wonders! You have to be very objective and realize that the results came after consistent and every day work. So, they are smart enough girls and clearly understand that. They implemented a very disciplined, regimented training lifestyle after they finished with the appearances.”</span> </span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Translated: "Maroney starves like Kyla." Seriously, she's lost weight since P&G. If Marta were to put up the most inspirational quote she can think of in a giant banner at the ranch, it would be, "Have you starved like Kyla?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
Also interesting is that Maroney will get the coveted 4th subdivision spot, over Ross (1st subdivision) and Biles (3rd subdivision). Even in this day of more objective scoring and better judging technology, scores will rise into the later subdivisions. To me this move indicates that Marta is rooting for Maroney as an AAer and wants Maroney to also make fx finals. If Ross hits she'll easily make beam finals and probably bars finals. Biles has a better chance in subdiv 3 for a spot in floor EF if she hits, and Biles & Maroney are locks for vault finals.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.gymnastike.org/coverage/251079-2013-World-Championships/video/721022-Martha-Karolyi-Before-the-Start-of-the-World-Championships" target="_blank">Great quotable Marta video interview to Gymnastike earlier today.</a> Yes, Kyla is a classy gymnast.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">AJ thinks this is all clearly a demonstration of Marta's ultimate love for Maroney, and that Marta has shed any semblance of being nice. AJ's delightful quotes this morning:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I love Maroney - however. Putting a 4th member of the team on the floor benefits the USA team chances for next worlds. This is a curious move, because this could backfire. Ross could grow another foot, Maroney could get another concussion, Biles could become the next Atler..."</span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And:</span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Maroney does <a href="http://www.gymnastike.org/video/720844-USA-McKayla-Maroney-UB-Full-Routine" target="_blank">every bars routine with a heavy spot</a>. Like, she's not ready for competition."</span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And:</span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"However, my inner Wendy Williams loves all of this." </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paseka is out with a pinched nerve in her back, and AJ is thrilled to have Rodionova perform floor over Paseka.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The above is all proof that Gymnastics Jesus loves AJ.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But hey - sit back and smoke an electronic cigarette to this lovely Kyla beam routine from today's podium training. Good times!</span><br />

<br />
It's a been a while. I know I shouldn't have kept you waiting. But I'm here now...<br />
<br />
If McKayla Maroney is going to compete, Catty and I are going to be live blogging. It just has to happen. We are tentatively excited for this evening. Though we have seen promising videos from podium training, we are still haunted by memories of the Beijing Olympians phoning it in during the 2009 edition of whatever USAG is calling the meet.<br />

<br />
As I attempt to get Jenny Kirk to join in on the viewing party (she has a secret love for trashy NCAA gymnastics), marinate on this gem for a while.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/4EuaeD4L_Jk" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
A fame moment with Gabby Douglas, superstar!<br />
<br />
Jenny Kirk is going to join for the experience from the new house she just built. Jenny managed to move in completely in 12 hours. I've never felt so laid back.<br />
<br />
I am OVER this blurry feed. USAG has been amazing all year with social media and semi-transparency. This blurry feed is making me take back all of the positive vibes I've been sending their way.<br />
<br />
The blurry feed is hindering our view of Maroney's facial expressions, Luckily she has taken 10,009,868,743 selfies to hold us over.<br />
<br />
Big DTY for Kennedy Baker. Solid job.<br />
<br />
A year ago, Armine barely knew Brenna Dowell's name. Now, she is a top contender. Went for the tkatchev 1/2 and took an extra swing. She stayed on and proved to be a fighter. It won't kill her, but obviously won't score what it could have. The improvement is startling. Will we ever see Finnegan again?<br />
<br />
Grace McLaughlin on Vault (Future UF rotation)- FTY...practicing to not be used on vault at UF already. Anytime someone from WOGA doesn't bust a knee on vault, it is a good day.<br />
<br />
Simone Biles-UB- Her strength is everything. Unfortunately, suffered a fall on her piked tkatchev. Consistency has been a bit of an issue for Simone. The talent is there. She casts with her legs together. It is better for her to get this out of the way now, as Martha will be less forgiving at Nationals. (13.650)<br />
<br />
Ross-BB-Side Aerial. Switch leap+Back Tuck. BHS+Loso (slightly raised one foot), Full Turn, Split Leap+Sissone, Aerial+Sheep Jump, Side Somi, Switch Leap 1/2...balance check. Front tuck. Solid Double Tuck dismount. The routine is solid, but the lack of flair makes it lose its level of impressiveness. The fact that Kyla can start on beam and makes her a sure threat for the National title. Kyla isn't going to have the highs and lows of Simone. (14.650)<br />
<br />
Skinner-UB-Fall on her first transition. Extra swings. The routine is quite a mess at this point. Solid dismount, but this will not help her move up in the National Team rankings.<br />
<br />
My ears bleed every time I hear 'triple series.'<br />
<br />
Kocian-VT-DTY with a short landing. (14.450)<br />
<br />
Lexie Preissman- I like her so much more now that we know she butts heads with MLT constantly. Note that the gymnastike Behind the Routine series became far more of a PR outing after that CGA realness. Solid routine from Lexie after some issues in the warm up.<br />
<br />
This meet is LAGGING. Getting through the juniors was an accomplishment.<br />
<br />
Rotation 1 is now over. The Olympians need to come back. We need some entertainment. My life has had a void ever since Aly Raisman left the ballroom.<br />
<br />
Peyton Ernst leads with a 14.700. Kyla Ross is in second with a 14.650. Kennedy Baker is third with a 14.550. Madison Kocian is fourth with a 14.450. Abigail Millet is fifth with a 14.400. Lexie Priessman is currently sixth with a 14.350.<br />
<br />
Lexie told an interview that she has 'never felt more confident on beam.' We will have to wait and see if it was just another typical athlete interview.<br />
<br />
Amanda and Sam are now interviewing Jordyn Wieber. She loved the tour. This is riveting. She can't wait to come back...<br />
<br />
Grace McLaughlin just hit bars. The feed is too blurry to see if Valeri is in attendance.<br />
<br />
Simone had a near fall on her Humphrey turn. Almost off on her bhs+bhs+2 foot layout. Settling into the routine. Break on the punch front. Big steps forward on bhs+bhs+full in.<br />
<br />
Kyla Ross-FX-Double Arabian+Stag, Full In (steps back), This routine is better than Phantom of the Opera, but it is still underwhelming. Kyla does have one cute pose before the third pass. Nearly stuck third pass. Double Pike to her hands and knees. The last pass was somewhat of a shock.<br />
<br />
The conversation with Jordyn is mind numbing. Ask something interesting!<br />
<br />
Skinner-BB- BHS+Arabian with a big wobble. bhs+back full.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Jordyn is saying that the team's bond is what won them the title. Their superior vaults and consistency were really just details...<br />
<br />
Sam PC Peszek threw slight shade at Skinner's execution. God Bless.<br />
<br />
McKayla Maroney- Double Layout OOB (ran way too long), 2 1/2+Front Layout, She is a gem of a performer, but this is seriously generic music. Double Arabian (stuck), Her added power is great to see. Double Pike. If Simone keeps missing bars and beam, Maroney will need to hit a good floor routine should it come down to a battle for the specialist spot.<br />
<br />
Kocian-UB-Shaposh 1/2, Pak, Toe On+Shaposh 1/2, solid full twisting double back. Some execution, but an impressive routine.<br />
<br />
13.550 for Skinner.<br />
<br />
Amanda and Sam are discussing that beam is a difficult event to compete. It is also four inches wide. Earlier, they told us the podium is bouncy (about 27 times.) <br />
<br />
14.350 for Maroney. (.3 OOB)<br />
<br />
14.450 for Kocian.<br />
<br />
Madi Desch-BB- Petition to Championships. Solid effort. She will be going to Connecticut. Madi wants to make Worlds this year. Don't we all... 14.150<br />
<br />
Baker-UB-The blurry feed is killing the routine. Had to make a cover. Double front with two steps. She will be a good addition to UF.<br />
<br />
"Baker is a badass. And her illusion fabric seems to match better."-Catty Comments<br />
<br />
<br />
Dowell-BB-Punch front mount w/1 small check. A few missed connections. Ambitious routine. Near fall on her Humphrey turn. Lots of combinations and skills. BHS=BHS+Double Pike with a step. Solid effort.<br />
<br />
"Why does it seem like the more elites Al Fong has in a competition, the less crazy he seems?"- Catty Comments<br />
<br />
USAG is smart and put Maroney's vault in the third rotation so we would have to stick around. It is taking quite a bit to make it through the meet with this feed and the drivel by the commentators.<br />
<br />
Peyton Ernst leads with a 29.050, Kyla Ross is currently seventh with a 28.050.<br />
<br />
McKayla Maroney-VT-HUGE Amanar with a slight hop. Simply unreal. I don't know if we will ever be prepared to see this second vault again. 15.600 for vault 1. (9.4 execution/.1 for OOB), Mustafina with steps forward. It doesn't look like she will be trying to stick that again for a while. (15.425 avg)<br />
<br />
Skinner-FX-Double Double Layout (piked down and OOB), Double Arabian+Stag, Double Double with steps forward, 2 1/2 to her bum. The execution is simply not there and a huge issue. She can throw every trick in the book, but she lacks the 'international look.'<br />
<br />
"She fell? She does a Silivas 3rd pass and can't get it up for a shit twisting combo pass? Why does she always mess with my emotions?"-Catty Comments<br />
<br />
Kocian- Huge break on switch ring, fall, double back with one step.<br />
<br />
Priessman-FX-Double Double with one step out, Full twisting double layout ("Layout"), Messy leaps...Isn't McCool there to fix this?!, 1 1/2 through to double tuck, full in with a step. Solid routine.<br />
<br />
"Priessman's music - is it "stripper steelworker?"- Catty Comments<br />
<br />
"Saving her upgrades"- Phrase of the day.<br />
<br />
Ernst-BHS+BHS+2 ft layout (I never thought I would get sick of that pass...we aren't in China anymore.) Switch 1/2. Punch front. Wolf Jump. Kim needs to have her friend Boginskaya work with these girls on style and dance a few times a week. Solid dismount with a top. Solid.<br />
<br />
Abigail M- Full In, 1/2 through to a double tuck, majorly messed up her leaps. This choreography is mind boggling. Front Layout+Front Double Full, WHO CHOREOGRAPHED THIS?!, Double Pike with a hop. That mess is thankfully now over.<br />
<br />
Ross-VT-DTY one small step back.<br />
<br />
"Do you love that Amanda Bynes and Sam Peszek say "MillAY" and the announcer is all, MilleT'?"-Catty Comments<br />
<br />
"Do you love how now that there's no Olympics, there's also no Amanar for Kyla?!"<br />
<br />
Baker-BB-The feed and her leotard makes this a struggle to watch. No "triple series." Near stick on the double back dismount.<br />
<br />
Kim's necklace and the gym coach attire are NOT working.<br />
<br />
Dowell-Full twisting double layout...OOB, Double Arabian+Split Leap, It appears that Armine may actually pay attention to her choreography once a week now that she is ranked highly on the National Team. Front handspring double front. Double Pike. She has learned how to get the job done.<br />
<br />
McLaughlin-Arabian-big breal, bhs+loso, switch ring, side aerial, 2 1/2 with steps to the side. Megan Dowlen is there with her.<br />
<br />
Simone Biles-FX-Double Double, This routine is absurd. Her amplitude is ridiculous. Double Layout 1/2 out, 2 1/2+Punch Front (step to the side), full in to her hands and knees. This meet is just a mess. Simone Biles is ridiculously talented. Can we send her to Chow?<br />
<br />
Ernst leads with a 43.750 over Kyla Ross (43.250).<br />
<br />
Priessman-DTY with a huge hop back. Somewhat worrisome that she isn't doing the Amanar after a rough meet in Italy. 14.750<br />
<br />

McLaughlin-FX-I hope she learns to look happier than Gina Gogean in college.FHS+Front Double Full, LOW double pike landing, 1 1/2+front layout, 2 1/2 to her bum. The routine matched her facial expression.<br />
<br />
The crowd goes wild when Gabby Douglas is introduced.<br />

I was going to save my snark for the seniors, and then I blew up after that unholy slow national anthem when I saw Sam Peszek inexplicably wear that country club green tent shirt with boobalicious latticework. WHAT? Let's get this started!<br />
<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Norah Flatley from Chow's up on bars in an adorable pink leo. Oh, and Liang has her doing el-grip combos! I hope her shoulders don't blow out as soon as Ohashi's did. Nice high piked Jaeger. Happily she dismounts double layout, which can easily lead to bigger dismount. I want to stage a protest against another tucked full-in bars dismount.<br />
<br />
Ow - the kid from Las Vegas was totally off on her 2-foot layout. You know what helps that? HIGHER LAYOUTS. If I see another whipped 2-foot layout on a junior that have no hope of translating to a senior 2-foot layout (oh hai hips!), I will burn a coach voodoo doll in effigy.<br />
<br />
Jazmyn Foburg from MG Elite, a hot gym that also coaches junior sensation Laurie Hernandez. Nice routine, what were the coaches thinking with that leo? Super super shiny mostly milky lime green, with some white and one illusion fabric sleeve. Coaches, your illusion fabric leo sleeves will work waaaaay better if you match the fabric to their skin tone. Both Jazmyn & Laurie would have to be locked in a broom closet for a year to match the washed-out skin color on their left arm.<br />
<br />
Nia Dennis from Buckeye on beam - Gorgeous turquoise leo with one black arm. Nice color, starts with a Humphrey turn and then an amazing standing Arabian. A big balance check on a high leap (which Amanda calls a small balance check - um what?) and then off on her back handspring layout stepout combo. Large step forward on her high double tuck dismount.<br />
<br />
The production team needs help - the audio has cut from the floor feed to the announce feed with no music to awkward silence. It's called transition music, and Peszek knows the UCLA production people who can help you.<br />
<br />
And we're back for the 2nd half of rotation 1! Hey USAG, can we please hear the fx music at the same time as the announcers? That would be kittens! Oh, and someone pass a note to Chris Burdette (aka Mr. Zmeskal of Tehas Dreahms) - dude, you are hot and a gymnastics celebrity husband. You need hotter glasses, pronto.<br />
<br />
We now appear to be on the arena blimp cam for vault, because what better way to ignore bad preflights? Oh wait, Bailie Key on fx. Tehas Dreahms went shiny, shiny gold torso & bodice, and all illusion fabric on shoulders and arms. Bailie is stag leaping her heart out after every pass and dancing to Kimbo's old music to "In the Mood."<br />
<br />
Laurie Hernandez in her shiny milky green for MG Elite on bars. Stalder full into Tkachev. Huge pike Tkachev. High tucked full-in. MG - it's called a double layout. TEACH DOUBLE LAYOUTS. Gah.<br />
<br />
Dear Amanda Borden - there is no code requirement to "pose" before a tumbling pass. The requirement is for you to not just stand like an idiot on both feet and pick your nose doing nothing before the tumbling pass. Unfortunately many gyms interpreted this as "do a one-legged flamingo pose" before the run. Sorry pink-leo gymnasts - the code & your coaches are turning you into flamingos.<br />
<br />
YAY - an MG Elite gymnast did a double layout off of bars! THANK YOU! Now get me a leo that doesn't require ethnic skin matching nor sunglasses, and you'll be almost off the hook.<br />
<br />
Grace Wagu... er, Whack-a-Mole is on fx - nice opening triple full, epic-y movie music. Awesome running punch double-full. Borden keeps acting like this is the first time EVAH that these gymnasts have competed on a podium. Oh hai ending which turned into Jordyn Wieber's Olympic fx music.<br />
<br />
End of first rotation! ROTATE KITTENS!<br />
<br />
Flatley starts on beam - she is AJ's new fave for her aerial series. If Bailie Key ever disappears, it's just AJ driving her to northern freedom and dropping her off on Chow's doorstep. She his new Asian Wonder Child although Bailie is neither Asian nor a child. Discuss.<br />
<br />
Next, let's discuss why Hundley is competing with the juniors when she looks like she's already competing NCAA for Bama. Nice bar routine however. Bailie Key on vault - nice apparently dty? It's hard to count twists with the choppy YouTube feed, although the commercials are gorgeous and smooth.<br />
<br />
Dennis on fx - GIANT double layout. She has problems landing on the floor before her next pass. Wait was that a front layout through to a double tuck? Holy cow. Giant double pike to end. She could almost out-tumble the high-flying LSU team.<br />
<br />
Hope Masiado now on fx from Girls Co-Op gym of Bethlehem, PA, which pretty much means they're a cast-off gym of ex-Parkettes. You can tell she's not a Parkette for her lovely lines. AJ just wants to send her to Bela so she can make the 1988 Olympic team. She is short on her tucked full-in dismount because she's not doing a DOUBLE LAYOUT. This is my new pet peeve.<br />
<br />
Mini-Alicia Sacramone (some kid from NJ wearing fruit-colored metalics circa Parkettes 2007) is doing a nice job on floor. She's from somewhere in Joisey - I believe her name is Melissa Teddy Ruxpin. Whatevs.<br />
<br />
Megan Freed from Parkettes on bars. She's tiny and adorable and jumps to the high bar way better than Shayla did at Georgia. AJ thinks she learned giants last week, but her shoulders are more open - I think it was two weeks ago. Sadly, she dismounts tucked full-in.<br />
<br />
Alyssa Baumann from WOGA in a high-sparkle red leo and of course mounts fx with a combo front twisting pass. Lovely triple full pass. AJ likes her and likes her bars too. Hopefully she's not so WOGA that she finishes 2nd AA at worlds, blows a knee and gets lazy before showing up for NCAA workouts.<br />
<br />
Laurie Hernandez on beam - nice leap sequence. Front aerial to sheep jump, almost fell. Back handspring 2 layout stepouts and a fall. A not-extended ring leap. Finally getting her groove back better than Stella with the 2nd half of her routine - stuck punch front. Nice high double pike dismount. A tale of 2 routines. Amanda "Lizzy" Borden goes from talking about how shaky the first part of the routine was to how amazing the entire routine was aside from the fall. Does she need a 5150 hold like Amanda Bynes? Lucid, then craaaay.<br />
<br />
Mollie Frack(?) - nice Pak salto, manages to swing back to the high bar, even does an el-grip sequence, then gets hung up on her tucked full-in. IT'S CALLED A DOUBLE LAYOUT - LOOK INTO IT PARKETTES. These poor kids developing good swings then wasting them getting hung up in a tucked full-in. How crazy is it that powerful swinger Rebecca Bross couldn't learn a different dismount?<br />
<br />
Grace Quinn from Tehas Drehmes (goldie leos) pikes down her fty, which looks way to easy for her.<br />
<br />
AJ, "Hey Sam, tell us who your mom likes?" His bathroom is getting clean through his frustration.<br />
<br />
Ariana Grandie up on beam - more Borden podium obsessing. SHUT UP ABOUT THE PODIUM ALREADY. SHE HASN'T MOUNTED THE BEAM YET. Ariana rocks her sissone, then rocks a high, flighty 2-foot layout. Good job! Amanda Bynes now won't shut up about the podium again - give her a 5150 hold. Grandie falls on a punch front. Nice big double tuck dismount no thanks to the former Nickelodeon child star.<br />
<br />
Shchennikovaovich from Cougar of Colorado on beam. Tigar, whatevs. We love her lines and can't believe she's still a junior. Looooooove her lines. Giant switch ring. Onodi - sheep jump, bobble. Off on a Kotchekova, which is a full-twisting backhandspring. Gets up and finishes the bhs - lso combo. Clean double full. She needs more difficulty on beam. And no falling.<br />
<br />
Nadia Cho from WOGA on fx. We only see her closing back 2.5, because 2008! Alexis Vasquez, AJ's new wonder child, will be up on beam now for Chow's. Step leap up - 2 front aerials, bobble, then a side aerial. Giant switch ring leap - gorgeous. AJ even approves. Falls on bhs - 2 lso series, but I liked what I saw before she fell - layout stepouts were huge and high. Chow is really doing an amazing job with these juniors. bhs to a back 2.5 to dismount. Now to a commercial break with the SHHHHHH Secret Classic!<br />
<br />
Jazmyn from MG Elite is on floor. Sam just called her floor "moves her coach that made up." Bitch, have Miss Val slap you - that shit is called "choreography."<br />
<br />
A kid from WOGA just did a weak fty because cliches! Soza from Arete on bars - giant-full to Tkachev, then missed the recatch of her huge Hindorff. Nice form, an el-grip giant, and yay - a full-in double layout!<br />
<br />
Key hits a great bars routine, and now a kid from Bart Conner's club is up. Alexandra Marks has loooooovely lines and I could watch her dance forever, and yet she tumbles high & powerfully. I'm sure Oklahoma would love to get her, but I want her at UCLA or Cal to get some great choreography.<br />
<br />
Laurie Hernandez on fx - get ready for sass! Huge opening double Arabian - stag leap with steps out. Stuck full-in. Killing her dance - running punch front layout, punch front double full. Giant double pike to end - love her energy! I hope Marta doesn't kill her choreo when she gets on the national team.<br />
<br />
Agrapadies on fx to "Roller Coaster of Love" - I think I'm in love with this coach. Huge tumbling - has issues with her last pass double tuck because she has SO much power. Takes approximately a billion steps back to go OOB.<br />
<br />
Christina Desiderio on beam from Parkettes. Nice stag turn, lovely balance - what is that balance called? Kristina Baskett did it. Whipped 2-ft layout - GO HIGHER YOUNG PARKETTE. Someone bring me the Mrs. Christina has great training, and Amanda & Sam are rightfully praising it. Great routine.<br />
<br />
Nica Hults ("Veronica" now, whatevs) on bars for Tehas. Barely hangs onto her huge straddle Jaeger. Lovely lines and great Shaposh transitions. Stuck her tuck full dismount - boo. Give that kid a double layout.<br />
<br />
Alexis Vasquez from Chow's is on fx dancing to "Requiem for a Dream" like, 5 years before she should ever see that movie. Someone please tell me that she's Rio-eligible. LOVE.<br />
<br />
Emily Gaskins from CGA on beam, doing a great job. Seriously, how did Mary Lee Tracy deal with Jetter on beam? Did she tear all of her hair out, or just some? All of her other gymnasts are so solid on beam - she literally willed Borden to become a beamer.<br />
<br />
Emily Mullingspices from Colorado Aerials on bars now - lovely high Jaeger, then surprised herself by going over in a handstand on the high bar. Nice double pike dismount. Where is Tom Forrester? He was like the Greg Kinnear of gym coaches in the 90's. Loved him in "As Good As It Gets." Great bars coach too.<br />
<br />
Amelia Hundley on beam - and Johnson-Scharpf is on floor, why aren't we watching her? Oh, now we're to her - this kid is a great floor worker. Easy double tuck, stuck. And my feed died. One note about Hundley - both her & Priessman work beam heavy, like Sacramone. Lighten your landings kittens - nothing to do about weight, everything to do with finesse. You're a gymnast, not a steel worker, so you don't have unions and health benefits like they do for your foot stress fractures.<br />
<br />
Fourth rotation! Let's DO this!!!<br />
<br />
There were some dtys, which is awesome for juniors because they can't see over the vault. Molly Frack did an adorbs fx routine to that mambo from The Mask, which Peszek & Patterson both used as juniors.<br />
<br />
Lauren Navarro from Gliders on bars now - so, Steve Rybacki's gym without Rybacki coaching since he's part of the national team staff. Nice Tkachev, nice Pak (not connected), shoot to high bar - and a tucked full-in to finish. Sigh.<br />
<br />
Nica Hults from Tehas Dreahms golden girls - lovely side flip (if a side flip can ever be lovely), and a nice series to 2-ft layout. Lovely side aerial to jump. Funky switch ring, or maybe my YouTube feed jumped awkwardly. 2 bhs to back 2.5 dismount. Excellent routine. And hey Sam Peszek - it's not her first year as an international elite. Nica has done this merry-go-round before.<br />
<br />
Oh hai look who qualified to Visas last year: <a href="http://usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=10178&prog=h">http://usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=10178&prog=h</a><br />
Spoiler alert - it's Nica Hults. Kitten, read your mom's press releases better. She took her time on them.<br />
<br />
Awkward pause for the 2nd half of the rotation.<br />
<br />
Aaaand we're back! With Grace Quinn, Nica's Tehas teammate. The Golden Girls have looked lovely today, and Kimbo has been doing something right with them on beam. Peszek & Bynes are attributing rotation 1 & 2 butter beam to nerves, but I'm saying that if you're coached by a world champion beamer, you have a better chance of staying on the beam.<br />
<br />
Norah Flatley on vault - fty, piked down. She's definitely ready to throw a harder vault once she's taller than a muppet.<br />
<br />
Emily Gaskins from Cincy on fx - flamingo to 1.5 to double tuck. And to answer Sam's question, Memmel is here judging vault, not floor. But Emily's Memmel turn was lovely. Dear MLT - why Strauss waltzes? Shades of the 1996 compulsory music, although not quite Die Fledermaus.<br />
<br />
Amelia Hundley on fx for Cincy - flamingo to double layout - nice! And really - accordion music? Seriously? Back 2.5 to front layout. 1.5 through to double pike. And now we have full-on Zorba the Greek - is Sam Sheehan in one piece and watching this? Nice routine.<br />
<br />
Nia Dennis is on bars, but inexplicably we're watching the North Stars kid wait to start on beam. Silly decisions. Alonza Klopfer is doing a nice job on beam, and wearing a shiny solid white leo - she'll never get to eat a carb again with that team leo. Tuck back to sheep jump. Switch ring - meh. Big double pike dismount.<br />
<br />
Now we get to watch Nia Dennis, and apparently she's already fallen on bars. Huge easy 2nd Tkachev, and to warm my bitta little heart, a giant double layout to finish. THANK YOU.<br />
<br />
Deanne Soza from Arete in Orem, UT. She just came out of the developmental program and one of the first gymnasts to make it out of Orem. She's still waiting to mount. Apparently the key to elite gymnastics is loving gymnastics. And being good when you're young. And being patient for the 2020 Olympics. And never eating carbs. Oh, she gets to mount the beam now! Big switch leap. Lovely front aerial, covers over the missed connection to the bhs lso. Nice split sissones. L-turn to side aerial to back tuck. Easy punch front. Full-twisting split jump. Onodi, bobble & fall. 2 bhs to double tuck - go kid! Keep your chin up for another 7 years to those Olympics wherever they are!<br />
<br />

Thanks for reading! Both AJ & I will be back today for the seniors at 6pm CDT / 7pm EDT / 4pm PDT.

Catty Comments! It's the most... longest time... of the year! NCAA event finals with 24 billion vaulters! Let's get started!<br />
<a href="http://www.uclabruins.com/sports/w-gym/spec-rel/13-ncaa-gym.html" target="_blank"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.uclabruins.com/sports/w-gym/spec-rel/13-ncaa-gym.html" target="_blank">All of the lineups, scores & vid links are at the same link they've been at the past two days! Clickety on these words!</a><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
We'll get started, and everything has already started! Because it's loooooong, and Catty was gay brunching like a champ.<br />
<br />
First of all, how is first vaulter Courtney (who stuck her fty cold and appeared to have good height & form in the air) below second vaulter Courville, who had a stutter on her landing and did not appear to have better dynamics?<br />
<br />
I was bummed Morrison for LSU didn't stick her dismount, because she hit the hell out of the rest of the routine. NCAA fun fact for Sarie Morrison: she is the tallest gymnast here today at 6'8", and is on the draft radar for the Knicks as a shooting guard.<br />
<br />
For leotard fashionistas, the fleur de lys leo LSU is wearing today is lovely. I'd so have that be the Supah Six leo over the V for Victory I Located Booblandia leo worn yesterday.<br />
<br />
1:28pm - Katie Baer on vault for the Bruins. Lovely fty, her usual preflight leg separation, stuck with legs apart. NCAA fun fact for Baer: she was the designated Valkyrie blonde on the team until fellow Indy teammate Peszek arrived, and now she is a soft brown hue.<br />
<br />
1:31 - Sloan hits her routine and sticks the landing. Sloan NCAA fun fact: she should incur a leg separation deduction at the bottom of every giant swing. Dickerson on vault for the Chompers sticks the landing, but funky preflight makes me hope she'll be deducted for it.<br />
<br />
1:34 - I'm already tired of watching the vaulters equal to the population of Mexico. Sarie Morrison now has to vault 10 milliseconds after dismounting bars. She sticks her fty cold and had a lovely preflight.<br />
<br />
1:36 - It's Macko of the Caquatti - hitting the hell out of everything, and takes a step on the landing. Sob. NCAA fun fact: her best chomps are reserved for Caquatti. Millner sadly takes a tiny foot slide on her 1.5Y.<br />
<br />
And warming up vault now - the female population of China! The first 7,5 million vaulters are in this ranking:<br />

Btw, Dabritz "No Gloves" had cleaner form than Sloan. Imagine what she could do with gloves.<br />
<br />
1:44 - And we're back! Spoiler alert - Zam is wearing the 2010 diagonal leo with pastel colors.<br />
<br />
1:52 - And we're back! Zam hopped her fty but we still want her to win anyway. Johnson hit a lovely bars set with a lovely tan for the Chompers. NCAA fun fact about Alaina Johnson: back microfractures are healed through tanning.<br />
<br />
1:57 - Tori Wilson on vault for Utah, fty, bounces in place. The Ute leos are a puzzle - all shiny, bronze on top & maroon on the bottom. It's a lotta look even for Heidi "Front of my dress? What front of my dress?" Klum.<br />
<br />
1:59 - Wong for Nebraska - shows what fty flair is - gorgeous preflight, height, flared the twist and stuck the landing. NCAA fun fact for Wong - humans can indeed have a negative bodyfat percentage!<br />
<br />
And your vault winners are Millner and Courville and the SEC! Congratulations!<br />

<br />
2:08pm - Marissa King on FX - gorgeous high double layout with a delightful British accent. Gay techno music party time into ridiculously easy fhs, front layout front full. Easy double pike, Chomper nation is thrilled.<br />
<br />
2:10pm - World vault champion Williams on beam, just because. Step up mount. Was that a bobble after the front flip. Hits the acro series cold. Gorgeous ro 1.5 with delayed twist as she spots the landing.<br />
<br />
2:11pm - It's Sloan time! NCAA fun fact: Bridget thinks this music is Eminem's "Move Yourself." She hits the passes including sticking the last pass cold. Great routine.<br />
<br />
2:13 - Backbrace for the Gophers on beam, and nails a gorgeous side aerial layout stepout acro series. Backbrace is impressive in a shiny gold & maroon leotard. Apparently side aerials are her thing, because her dismount is side aerial layout full off the end of the beam.<br />
<br />
2:16 - Jacobs fx for Bama - messes up the last pass and has to bend her knees. It's kind of a desperate routine, like if Domi did the Georgia Devil routine right now in the arena.<br />
<br />
2:18 - Macko. Fun fact - she makes the rest of the team aside from Sloan look like a wobbly mess with nervs of steel.<br />
<br />
2:19 - Millner on fx - and STICKS THE ARABIAN AGAIN! 3x in a row - this is getting gaudy for her. Literally everyone is just watching this routine. And she has the best hair in the arena. Huge closing double pike, and wow.<br />
<br />
2:21 - Sheheyyyy for Iowa State on beam, violating fashion rules and mixing her metals with a maroon, gold AND silver leo. Rocking acro series of front aerial, layout stepout, but a step on the dismount.<br />
<br />
2:22 - Wong 100% sinew drops her opening triple full front the sky and kicks out a stag jump after her 2nd pass. A meh rudi to end. I'm sorry, closing rudis just don't do it for me in EFs.<br />
<br />
2:24 - Zurales hits her side aerial back handspring acro pass, and a huge clean sheep herder jump, then lands her ro double full dismount stuck cold. That shit should be in the running.<br />
<br />
2:26 - Grable for Arkansas milks her zero-melody poorly mixed techno routine for a 9.88752489.<br />
<br />
2:31 - Mable Syrup for Minnesota mounts fx after the break with a high double pike and dramatic film music to go with her shiny Gopher leo. Working the music involves smiling and kicking. 1.5 front layout to finish and Gopher Nation comes to life.<br />
<br />
2:33 - Brewer of OKalathehoma mounts beam and inexplicably Bruno Mars starts BLASTING. She wobbles her 3 acro series (bhs lso lso) and she falls on her jumps. There are a lot of camera flashes because the arena cares so much about EFs they didn't mention it. Continuing the ironic hipter tradition, she sticks her double back dismount.<br />
<br />
2:36 - Sloan about to crush beam since the last competitor fell to keep Bridget in her comfort zone. She wobbles the acro series and the flashes continue from idiot cameras.<br />
<br />
2:38 - DAYM-E-YANCANCOOK-OVAH mounts floor with her tango music and rocks the first two passes. Sloan goes 9.9 on beam. Ute nation is swooning over her dance.<br />
<br />
2:39 - Birthdy girl King mounts beam with her delightful British accent and is determined to stiff-arm swat any bug in her way, and is almost off on her acro series - leg up to keep the balance.<br />
<br />
2:42 - Courville cowboys her double Arabian too much and takes a large step forward, then sticks the middle front to double tuck cold.<br />
<br />
2:44 - The last beam of the day, and the arena comes alive because it's NUSH! Big leap series. SHE THROWS AND STICKS THE SIDE AERIAL!!! And is off on a regular front aerial. SAD FACE. That was freaking awesome. Thank you for thrilling us today!<br />
<br />
2:46 - Weinstein starts fx for the Illinihi and stumbles her first pass. It's all up to Olivia Courtney on fx now - no other competitors.<br />
<br />
2:48 - Courtney starts big by killing the double Arabian, then kicking a huge layout stepout at the end of her middle pass. Arena going nuts now, and she lands the double pike low. Sad face, but they spent alllllll of their energy qualifying to Supah Six at home. Great show everyone!<br />
<br />
And we're DUNZO! And to my utter shock, the arena turns into an actual gay disco with a live singer! And the UCLA young male assistant leaps up onto the vault, other gymnasts leap onto the podiums, and we have a flash mob! How fun! Kristen Maloney is dancing on the beam podium with Shethehealy, and yelly UCLA ANNOUNCER GUY! is back, but on the floor and out of the crowd. And they're honoring the seniors by another crowd wave. Really dude?<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
3:57pm - Obnoxious UCLA arena PUMP UP THE CROWD DUDE is here, and they're finally doing the camera flash test. The NCAA was so concerned about flash photography that this did not happen at all yesterday. Besides, the OU leotards provide thousands more flashes.<br />
<br />
4:06 - Competition has begun, and Spicer hits beam for Florida - step on the gainer full dismount, bobble on the gainer layout stepout. Spears nails her fty for OU and we're off!<br />
<br />
4:07 - Spicer goes 9.825 and Sloan mounts. She nails the bhs lso acro series, then follows it up with a nailed front aerial, back handspring. Covers a bobble on her aerial, and sticks the double full.<br />
<br />
4:10 - and Ashanee Dickerson has a fall on beam - unhappy Gator chomp. 2 seconds earlier, the crowd gasped as DeJesus caught her Gienger insanely close, but still hung on. Dickerson goes hipster and ironically cold-sticks the double back dismount.<br />
<br />
4:13 - Hunter is off on her acro series and already Florida is counting a fall - it's now anyone's Supah Six. Shocking.<br />
<br />
4:15 - Hunter goes 9.35, Courtney nails her bars dismount for UCLA and goes 9.875, and Macko mounts beam for the now desperate Gators. She nails everything, and Zam is swinging bars and hitting every single handstand. Cold stick dismount for Zam, Caquatto goes clean, and there is now arena joy.<br />
<br />
4:17 - Zam goes 9.925 as Couch's Superman music starts on fx for Georgia. Macko goes 9.85 as King nervously awaits mounting.<br />
<br />
4:20 - HEY IT'S 4:20 ON 4/20!!! King must've vaporized something good (UCLA! Is! A! Smoke! Free! Campus!) because she hits beam and 2 judges flash 9.95, then a 9.9 and 9.85 for 9.925 total. Jay's routine starts with her huge open tucked full-in - she's the only competitor now. OOB on front double full front tuck.<br />
<br />
4:22 - the Gators are trying to pump themselves up, but Sloan's 9.95 is little consolation - they're in last place. Everyone! March to your second event!<br />
<br />
4;23 - All right, now we really need to toke up - and Xanax. UCLA on what Florida just made butter beam. Flashy crimson & glitter and one sleeve Bama of the Ala is on floor - don't get seizures from the sparkles flashing with the 10 cuts of music. LSU is out with PURPLE purple leos with a flashy gold V right where many of the ESPN male viewers wanted it.<br />
<br />
4:30 - One touch is over, and Priess starts floor with a large lunge back on her opening double tuck. Baer mounts beam for UCLA as Davis nails an fty for Georgia. Slight wobble on Baer's side flip. Dismount acro series - hits, disguises step with a quick salute. Couch with a low fty with hop forward.<br />
<br />
4:34 - Wong really hits beam for UCLA, slight hop forward on her 1.5 dismount for a 9.825. Rodgers has just stuck her 1.5y cold for Georgia and goes 9.875. DeJesus on beam nails her acro series, then her toss front changement. Cheek ruins a stick by leaning to the side on her fty. Is this enough action for you kittens?<br />
<br />
4:38 - Cheek goes 9.85 as Bama start to build on floor with their fans cheering. Courtney now on beam for UCLA as DeJesus is awarded 9.875. Courtney is off on her series and touches the beam.<br />
<br />
4:39 - And now Courtney has fallen on a front toss. And like Hunter & Dickerson, ironically sticks her double tuck dismount as I now must endure DeMeo on floor with a billion music cuts, because dancing is better when you only have 2 measures each! YEAH!<br />
<br />
4:41 - Courtney goes 8.975 for UCLA, and now it's Zam time. Wobble on her Onodi, then hits her front aerial cold. Bhs lso hits cold. Slight hop on her dismount, but great way to get back on track.<br />
<br />
4:43 - Zam goes 9.825 as Francis mounts. Covers a bobble on her jump series. Perfect but slow connection for front aerial, back handspring. She sticks the acro series dismount and the crowd goes wild as Millner mounts. Jacob got a 10.0 from at least one judge, so Bama may open going 49.5+...<br />
<br />
4:46 - Francis goes 9.85 on beam, taking UCLA up to 49.175. Who will go 6 for 6 on beam tonight? I think Millner went 9.925, but the floor flasher seems uninterested in displaying the score for more than .5 seconds. MARCH KITTENS! orders the arena announcer.<br />
<br />
4:51 - Commenter, there is a *slight* possibility we currently be in the same arena. Are you doing a rowdy Gator chomp in the middle of the Bruin section? I'm over by beam so I get a blow-by-blow of every team's hopes soaring then dying. Good times! Loving the LSU hella to the purple leos, would love it more without the gold "V for Victory - I Found the Boobland!" decoration.<br />
<br />
4:54 - Shisler opens floor for the Gatorlandia and falls back on her double back. Sigh.<br />
<br />
4:56 - Williams only goes 9.825 on her vault. I think Sledge just stuck her vault - the Bama fans in front of me were already on their feet when she landed.<br />
<br />
4:57 - I saw a replay and yes, Sledge stuck the vault. Unfortunately Clark takes a step on her fty.<br />
<br />
4:58 - Hey, Sloan is 2nd again, and again performing after a fall! Poor Rhonda. Clark is awarded a 9.8 on vault as Beers kinda sticks, kinda doesn't as Sloan powers through her first two passes. OU (Brewer I think?) sticks her bars dismount.<br />
<br />
4:59 - Shisler went 9.075 on floor and now Dickerson is up and sticks her double Arabian COLD. She wants revenge for the beam fall and almost sticks her 2nd pass. Taylor goes 9.9 beam for LSU as Hall mounts.<br />
<br />
5:02 - Olson kills her routine and sticks the dismount, and the Sooner Now And Laters are building momentum. Will LSU or OU be the first non-4 team to win a championship? Olson goes 9.9 as Spears mounts with a vengance and Courville powers through her beam routine and King rocks fx.<br />
<br />
5:05 - Courville sticks the dismount, and the LSU fans go bananas as their team has officially rocked their first 5 routines. Hunter mounts with her huge double layout and the arena music goes full gay techno. Jordan is nailing her beam routine for LSU, but bobbles before a jump. Hunter has her huge double tuck, and Courville went 9.85 on beam.<br />
<br />
5:07 - Jordan hops the dismount, ruining the momentum Courville set up for her - she goes 9.6. Bridgey Caquatto mounts solidly as Hunter is awarded 9.975! Legs crossed on the second pass but solid landing. Small step correction on landing of double pike, but Rhonda will take it after a disastrous start. The crazy high scoring tonight will be floor.<br />
<br />
5:10 - Caquatto goes 9.95, and now the Gator floor score is insane. It's 49.725 - is that the highest Super Six floor score ever?!<br />
<br />
5:15 - We're halfway, and holy cow is it close:<br />

<br />
Riiiight? The one bad news is for Georgia - they hit the huge-score event tonight (floor) first, and haven't competed beam yet. Oklahoma is really hitting, and we'll know quickly if they'll contend. LSU has an excellent chance - they're only .425 behind and have their two strongest events coming up, including the jackpot scoring fx.<br />
<br />
5:18 - TheJesus starts out on floor for UCLA - hits her opening double pike, as Kmieciak sticks her leadoff beam dismount cold. LSU and OU could really be the winners tonight, but it's amazing to have all 6 teams so close and in the hunt. TheJesus has an awkward last pass with possibly too large a lunge. Alexander on beam now for OU as Sloan sticks cold.<br />
<br />
5:22 - Sloan goes 9.95, and Alexander sticks her OU beam dismount. King has a slight hop forward on her crazy Tsuk 1.5.<br />
<br />
5:23 - TheJesus goes 9.75 as Smurf Knees Bynum mounts with a huge, high double pike. Alexander went 9.875 on beam as Clark mounts.<br />
<br />
5:24 - Smurf Knees may get a slight deduction for a large lunge on her dismount double tuck but goes clean and now Zam is up with Waller on the podium giving her a pep talk. It's the last fx she'll ever compete in NCAA, and it's at home in Supah Six.<br />
<br />
5:26 - Kmieciak & Alexander go 9.85 & 9.875 on beam, and now Clark goes 9.925 as Zam starts her Anchorman jazz flute routine. Get down, it's jazz flute on 4/20 in SoCal!<br />
<br />
5:27 - I think Brewer went clean on beam - I was busy toking up virtually with Anchorman. Apparently she did - she goes 9.85 as Davis messes up her anchor spot with a short cast. Whoops, it's Pritchett time as she skies her giant tucked full-in. Mooring is on beam and hitting her series as the arena claps for Pritchett.<br />
<br />
5:29 - Not sure why ESPN the Tres didn't show Zam's routine live - it's ending now as Pritchett ends her routine in real time - that should get an excellent score after Zam's 9.9.<br />
<br />
5:31 - Individual judges flash 9.95 on both events, and both Mooring on fx & Pritchett go 9.925. Courtney starts with a stuck double Arabian as KJ gives Spears the beam crack and walks off.<br />
<br />
5:32 - Disappointing - Spears has a bobble to mess up a connection as the arena freaks out for Courtney's huge ending double pike. Standing o, as Spears hops her gainer full series dismount.<br />
<br />
5:34 - Now ESPN the TRES is showing Florida vault as Courtney's floor score of 9.90 is flashed. Waller now has the impossible - give Sawa ValCRACK to earn her scholarship as a fx anchor. Spears' 9.9 is flashed - wtf. That would've been 9.825 from me, tops.<br />
<br />
5:36 - Sawa hits her first two passes and is now the only competitor - she's got to erase TheJesus 9.75 and will probably do it - hits the last pass as well as she can do it. Hey crowd, how do you spell UCLA? Oh, thanks for the reminder!<br />
<br />
5:37 - Sawa goes 9.9, and it's time to March! March! March! Georgia starts staring down the beam waiting for one-touch - they're pretty much out of it, but they're back in Supah Six, so residual SuzanneCRACK is wafting in the air like chalk.<br />
<br />
5:40 - Nooooooo - obnoxious UCLA ARENA GUY!!! is standing between the Bama of the Ala fans and cracked out Dawg fans.<br />
<br />
5:43 - Apparently the SEC rivalries did not go away as Sledge nails her leadoff bars routine with a stuck double layout. Persinger is hitting her leadoff beam for as Dickson hits her floor routine.<br />
<br />
5:45 - Persinger sticks her 1.5 dismount, but I think hopped between her front toss & actual jump. Dickson gets 9.85 for floor as Jordan starts.<br />
<br />
5:46 - Jordan is hitting her tumbling as Persinger goes leadoff 9.825 on beam, and Couch mounts with a vengance. Pritchett has a rough fty and hops into a salute to make the best of a bad situation. Couch hits, with a tiny hop on her dismount.<br />
<br />
5:48 - After nailing the vault rotation of their lives last night, UCLA is now out with 2 consecutive 9.75s. Mathis is on floor, and Couch goes 9.8 on beam.<br />
<br />
5:50 - Cheek has a big bobble after her acro series, and Mathis incurs a small deduction on her middle pass hop, but nails a huge dismount double pike.<br />
<br />
5:51 - Baer sticks her fty with a teeny foot movement, and Cheek hits the rest of her routine. Bama is now hitting bars, so far has a 39.45. Baer goes 9.875 on vault.<br />
<br />
5:52 - 3 9.9s in a row for Bama on bars - DeMeo, Clark & Jacob, so with 5 routines they have 49.35. Priess hits her dismount, I think stuck as Savona hits her fiddle Michael Jackson routine. Rodgers sticks her dismount.<br />
<br />
5:53 - Priess only goes 9.825. Zam shockingly falls on her vault, and goes 8.9. Courville mounts floor as UCLA's heart breaks.<br />
<br />
5:54 - Rodgers goes 9.875 on beam and Courville hits the crap out of her floor - LSU is at 39.55 before her and hall as she sticks the dismount double pike. Worley on beam for Georgia.<br />
<br />
5:56 - Worley nails her Kotchekova and shuffles her foot on the dismount.<br />
<br />
5:57 - Llominicia Hall nails the opening double layout, and nearly hit the roof. The entire arena is watching her - Worley goes 9.9 as Earls mounts.<br />
<br />
5:58 - Hall hops slightly on her double tuck dismount, but it will still get a great score. Earls makes a Supah Six side flip look easy, and takes a big step back on her double tuck dismount.<br />
<br />
6pm - ROTATION SIX OF SUDDEN DEATH! UCLA and Georgia are done and done - it will be between the 4 teams left on the floor.<br />

Commenter and other shy people in the arena - don't be shy. Come meet the Catty in the 108/109 aisle. You will know me by my laptop.<br />
<br />
6:06pm - Hey kittens, log your championship predictions now! Mine is Oklahomaha - they look sharp and ready to hit the cracktastic floor judges.<br />
<br />
6:08 - Millner is hitting the CattyCrap out of beam as Dickson hops her fty for LSU. Allbright nails her fx as Millner has a slight hop on her dismount.<br />
<br />
6:10 - King slightly hops her double layout dismount for bars, and Millner goes 9.875 on beam. Clark is on beam now, in full SarahCrack mode and nails her acro series. Jordan steps her vault and LSU is out of it. Brewer is nailing her floor as King goes 9.875 on bars.<br />
<br />
6:11 - Clark I think sticks her dismount, because Bama fans standing ovation yeah!!! Hunter goes 9.85 on bars and Clark goes 9.875 on beam. Williams mounts with cractastic vengeance.<br />
<br />
6:13 - Sloan hops her double layout dismount and Williams is wobbling through her routine. Shocking. Where is the SarahCrack? No SarahCarbs for you Kayla. Dismount hop.<br />
<br />
6:15 - Sloan gets the 9.9 and Macko of the Caquatti nails her routine - DeMeo mounts beam for Bama and Macko goes . Williams goes 9.625 and Macko goes 9.9. DEMEO FALLS.<br />
<br />
6:17 - Johnson STICKS for Gators - it is now between Florida & OU. WE WILL HAVE A NEW CHAMPION KITTENS!!!<br />
<br />
6:18 - Johnson goes 9.95, which takes the Gators to 197.575.<br />
<br />
6:19 - Olson really, really hits her opening double pike. It's literally OUs to lose - they're already at 187.425 with a 9.9 from Mooring. They're trying to drop one of the 9.85s, but I think they'd have to do 9.975s to catch up. I'm ready to give it to the Gators now. I think I can hear AJ screaming across the country.<br />
<br />
6:21 - Olson's made it close with a 9.925, Scaman is now on and rocks her double layout mount. Mathematically, OU cannot catch up. Congrats to the Gators!!!<br />
<br />
6:22 - Scaman bounces her dismount just to prove to the Gators that they have one. Never give up chomper fans. Betcha Rhonda will have several margaritas to get over this crazy way to her first national title.<br />
<br />
6:28 - I need to fan myself like an SEC fan after that. What a finish.<br />
<br />
That's it from Pauley Pavilion. Congratulations Georgia Gym Durantes - you'll get your coach back next year! Congratulations LSU - you made floor a party. Congratulations UCLA - we already miss your S&M leos, and apparently your vault mojo does too. Congratulations Bama of the Ala - we'll send a search party for your beam mojo. Congratulations OU - literally, an amazing job that didn't capture the judge crack.<br />
<br />
And congrats to the Gators - who would've thought that after last year, you had to lose beam to win the meet? Every single team went over 49 on every event except for Florida. Butter beam didn't phase your floor - congratulations!<br />
<br />
To top it off, as Florida marched out to accept the national championships, the UCLA fans cheered, gave them a standing ovation, and gator-chomped. Good show everyone - this meet rocked.<br />
<br />
Tune in tomorrow for the longest day - EVENT FINALS! For me and UCLA CROWD DUDE who actually wore a suit today, see you tomorrow!<br />

<br />
Kittens it's me, Catty Comments! Prelimino Numero Uno was fabu (except for the sad Stanford Trees - knee gods heal the Ivana!), but just saw that there were not many blogging kittens, probably because of the feed issues.<br />
<br />
So I, The Catty, shall blog Preliminario Numero DOS!. One of my advantages is that I'm in the arena, with a lovely view, and hopefully not a target of CRAZY PUMP UP THE ARENA guy. He's like John Macready except without the dances or knowledge of gymnastics or the gymnastics trivia questions he himself is asking. Or a t-shirt gun, or funny moves or the ability to be funny. THE MEET IS OVER, PEOPLE HAVE CLEARED OUT. ALL TEN OF YOU STILL HERE, LET'S DO THE WAVE!<br />
<br />
The live feed will commence at 9pm EDT / 6pm PDT, but I'll be back in the arena 75ish minutes before that and will start posting updates. Lmk if you have questions in the comments. I'll also try to capture the routine highlights that are not picked up on the feed, and we can comment on the feed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The lineups are in! <a href="https://twitter.com/OUgymnastics/status/325398031530856448/photo/1" target="_blank">Here are the lineups</a>.<br />
<br />
I'm in beam nirvana right now - first row next to Oklahoma doing one-touch. In related news, Mr. AJ has officially gone straight for Megan Ferguson. That's right, she is so amazing AJ actually has lust for a woman.<br />
<br />
Diandra Millner just ended fx warmups with a perfectly stuck double Arabian. Wow. On the downside, Bama is warming up in the dreaded sleeveless crimson leo with a gigantic 'A', which is not body-flattering. Utah is in bright silver & black leos with the lengthwise squiggle, but Dabritz literally makes any leo flattering.<br />
<br />
Rene ex-Cook Lyst has been spotted, and the 4" black stilettos do not disappoint even though the Razorback music cuts do. The Razorbacks are in black leos with many tiger diagonal red stripes.<br />
<br />
6pm - oh noes, here's UCLA's CRAZY FLOOR ANNOUNCER GUY! In other news, UCLA is doing a Project Runway avoid - a low-cut front and back. With three strips to hold the front V and 5 strips to hold the back V. It's a little bit glitter and a little bit S&M. Kittens, if you don't know what that means, look at ex-Cook's stilettos.<br />
<br />
6:04 - is it just me, or do the NCAA streaming vid announcers (Allison Taylor & Joe Cristelloshmo-dude) not have sound? Awkward.<br />
<br />
6:05 - Time to find out if UCLA will compete tomorrow - beam time! Baer is up and no one else is competing yet. Scary side flip with small bobble. Albright is on fx for Oklahoma with a scary front double full that she saves.<br />
<br />
6:07 - and we have audio! Yay! Baer hit her routine and locks in a 9.75 - unanimously! Wong is up.<br />
<br />
6:11 - Wong in with a 9.8 and DeJesus is up. Miss Val is positively young mom tonight, with a white shrug, hair in ponytail, and a grayish shift dress. DeJesus nails her acro series and front toss to changement. One step on running front full dismount.<br />
<br />
6:14 - DeJesus 9.825 (one judge flashed 9.9), and Courtney is up. Giant bobble on her acro series, probably touched the beam.<br />
<br />
6:18 - Courtney has a 9.425 as Zam mounts. She is wearing a flower in her hair - how San Francisco! Gorgeous Onodi. Bobble on her front aerial. Saves the bhs layout stepout. Effortless leap series - she is the only gymnast competing. Easy double full, hop back. No AA title for her, but goreous nonetheless.<br />
<br />
6:20 - Olson from Olsonhokma is powering her way through floor. Zam gets a 9.8 and Francis is up with a Silivas mount. Perfect front aerial, bhs. Smiling at the judges while posing. Sticks her acro series dismount!<br />
<br />
6:22 - Francis goes 9.9 and gives UCLA a 49.075, saving their beam rotation and Supah Six hopes. Scaman powered through her fx, and Shaffer (Ohio State) lands her beam dismount double tuck really low and takes 2 steps forward. Bri Guy on fx now - huge double layout alert!<br />
<br />
6:25 - We are rotating! Btw, the Oklahoma leos are much flashier in person than on video. It's insanely sparkly in here. How nice - individual rotator cuff Caitlin Atkinson of Auburn joins the Utaheans in a "Utes Rock the House" cheer. Good times!<br />
<br />
6:34 - ATay just had to tell Joe Schmo announcer dude that Bama isn't wearing "gloves" on bars - those funny things are grips! Somehow I don't think that other NCAA championships have to suffer through male announcers that don't know what the equipment is.<br />
<br />
6:36 - huge score discrepancy for Michigan's leadoff beam - one judge giving her a 9.7 start value. She ends up with a 9.775 - huh?<br />
<br />
6:40 - now the 2nd Michigan gymnast has gone 9.55, so we'll see how Miele cookware can do. She hits a high double pike dismount, but with a step back. Looks like Utah had major problems with Del Priore's floor, and their 2nd routine gets a 9.625. Wilson appears to have finished clean, so they'll probably get back on track.<br />
<br />
6:41 - Miele for Michigan just went 9.6, so now they have serious problems. Sampson just took a step on her gainer full dismount. This is Sampson - how do you step on a gainer full dismount?!<br />
<br />
6:42 - Dabritz hits her huge piked full-in mount, and nails a whip double full second pass to "The Race,", because 1993!!!<br />
<br />
6:44 - Dabriz finishes with a lovely, almost over-rotated triple full that's actually too easy for her. Zurales hits beam for Michigan to the delight of Bieber fans everywhere! Sorry, that's the Michigan team that inexplicably screams as high as 12 year-olds with Bieber Fever, like Anne Frank.<br />
<br />
6:46 - Damianova on fx for Utah, and it's just not the same without the female Ute announcer yelling, "Nancy DAMN-E-YAN CAN COOK-OVAH!!!"<br />
<br />
6:48 - Casanova anchors beam for Michigan because she has the most gorgeous hair in the arena. Has a bobble on a side flip that could be .1 or .3, but beautifully stuck dismount. And some judges go .1, and some go .3 - the scores range from 9.7 to 9.85, and she goes 9.75.<br />
<br />
6:51 - Atkinson on fx for Auburn - opens with a huge pike full-in, and has lovely clean, big dance to go with her lovely, big, clean tumbling and ponytail. Sticks her double pike dismount clean, and hopefully we'll see her in fx EFs.<br />
<br />
7:03 - Francis leading off fx, Millner leading off beam for Bama. DeJesus hits her opening double pike and middle double tuck. She milks the dance in front of the home crowd, hits her 1.5 to front layout, and the crowd goes bonkers.<br />
<br />
7:04 - Millner gets a leadoff 9.85, Clark mounts, and DeJesus earned a fx leadoff 9.875. Sadiqua "Smurf Knees" Bynum starts fx for UCLA and miraculously hits her middle pass. Clark goes unanimous 9.80 on beam and Bynum actually hits her double tuck dismount. This Bruin team is on fyeahhhhhhh.<br />
<br />
7:07 - Williams is full-on Sarah Crack rocking out this beam routine - in her mind, she's currently anchoring Supah Six. Zam starts her Anchorman routine, kicking out of a huge, easy double pike. And the video people aren't showing her. Are they insane? No, they're discussing Bri Guy's vault. And now they're watching Arkansas on bars. REALLY VIDEO PRODUCERS? REALLY? The Bama fans are applauding Zam's routine, literally as good as she can to it.<br />
<br />
7:10 - Nowwww they're showing Zam on floor, while gorgeous DeMeo is hitting beam for Bama. Eeeediots. Pritchett drops out of the sky on the easiest, cleanest tucked full-in ever. She is putting more energy into the dance than she ever has. Williams goes 9.9 & DeMeoMcCool goes 9.85.<br />
<br />
7:13 - Jacob is rocking beam, and only hops the landing. She is more in love with her fringe & ponytail than I am. Now Courtney on fx - sticks the opening huge double Arabian. 2nd pass 1.5, barani, back layout. Jacob goes 9.85 as Courtney skies a double pike, and should go 9.9+. Standing O from the UCLA section, which is full-on Bruin cracked out now.<br />
<br />
7:16 - the arena freaks out as Courtney's fx goes 9.95, and we'll see if Sawa can keep the UCLA momentum going. The first 5 routines have gone 49.425.<br />
<br />
7:18 - Sawa is a great example of Val's lineup - huge opening double tuck, then bigger double pike, everyone claps along to her routine. Final pass of 1.5 to front layout, by putting Zam up 3rd, then having lesser-known Pritchett go better than her, then the strong Courtney, then the unheralded Sawa, this is a prime example of score-building. The judges don't go along, and Sawa goes 9.825.<br />
<br />
7:21 - UCLA finishes 49.45, and Stambaugh prepares to mesmerize on floor. Gorgeous first 2 passes, and she breaks my heart by biffing the 3rd pass. She would've brought a hell of a lot of class to fx finals. Sob.<br />
<br />
7:26 - Halfway point and the top 4 teams (Bama, UCLA, Utah, Oklahoma) are within .05. Advantage UCLA & Bama, who have already completed beam, and Oklahoma, which loves to rock beam.<br />
<br />
7:34 - Fourth rotation, and we're all kind of - hurry up meet. UCLA now vaulting, and S:37 - awa leads off with a matching 9.825. Pritchett sticks her fty, which she just learned during the second rotation.<br />
<br />
7:37 - Michigan starts to lose energy - usually they're solid and now they're starting to crack on landings. Now for UCLA, Wong actually sticks - the team is now on the Val crack. NOW BAER STICKS. WTF.<br />
<br />
7:39 - It's getting loud in hear, because the crowd is now on ValCRACK with a Courtney stick with foot slide. Zam is about to go, and the arena is doing ValCRACK flying arms. Gorgeous with a right foot slide, but lovely. She goes 9.9, shoulda been 9.925. No EFs for Zam.<br />
<br />
7:42 - Utah is going to have to bring it, because Bama has floor & vault to go, UCLA went 49.5 on vault and OU matches with 49.5 on bars. FYEAHHHHHHHHH.<br />
<br />
8pm - Starting Rotation 5 with Ashley Priess opening fx for Bama and Mooring nailing a great leadoff beam for Oklahomaha, with a hop forward on her ro-1.5 dismount.<br />
<br />
8:02 - Wilson leads Utahhhh off on bars with a 9.8, and Hughes is now swinging for the Utes with sloppy legs and a hop on her dismount. This rotation may take them out of the running even before beam.<br />
<br />
8:06 - Sampson nails her vault for a 9.95 and finishes just behind Sloan in the AA with a 39.525. Kmieciak has a balance check on her beam acro series for Oklahoma OK! HO! MA! Oklahomaaa! A step on her dismount shouldn't be too much off, but they need to start sticking more to keep up. She goes 9.825.<br />
<br />
8:08 - Dabritz "no gloves" Georgia is now up on bars for Utah, following Damianova 9.925. Hitting handstands, even on her bail, and sticks her full-in dismount cold. And Utah keeps themselves in to fight to qualify to Super Six on beam.<br />
<br />
8:11 - No Gloves goes 9.95 and Kim Jacob hits floor as there is a bad fall from Caitlin Atkinson. She peels off the low bar onto her face, and we'll probably have to have the medical team out - she is dowwwwwn.<br />
<br />
8:13 - Atkinson is sitting up, and is now getting up. I still think she should stop & get checked out. Millner sticks her double Arabian COLD - stunning pass. Hits the middle pass, and skies a double pike - probably little too much lunge on the end, but lovely routine.<br />
<br />
8:16 - Bri Guy hits a great beam routine with a large step forward on the double back dismount, only minutes after her teammate had a scary bars faceplant. And Rodgers from Washington performs on floor to C&C Music Factory, because 1990!!!! Why NCAA programs, why dig out old old old music? New music is made alllllll the time. It's called iTunes - look into it.<br />
<br />
8:20 - One rotation left, and Oklahoma is in the gate with a 197.2. With my shaky math, I think UCLA needs a 49.2 on bars to pass them, Bama needs a 49.225 to pass Oklahoma, and Utah needs a 49.25 to pass Oklahoma. UCLA is the MOST vulnerable in a tie-breaker - their 6th scores include the 9.425 on beam. Utah has a 9.725 to count. Seriously, Bama (so far) and Oklahoma have gaudy 6th scores - nothing less than a 9.8.<br />
<br />
8:27 - UCLA starts with a 9.825 on bars and Bama starts with a vault leadoff of 9.85 from Willams, the 2009 vault world champion.<br />
<br />
8:29 - Wong goes 9.75 for UCLA on bars, which is not the direction they want to go. Weirdly, Preiess has a wonky fty for Bama, but then Clark sticks her fty. The crowd just went bonkers as DeJesus stuck her tuck full-in dismount.<br />
<br />
8:31 - DeJesus goes 9.9, and De La Torre is now up - covers a handstand that goes over, and hits the hop full to double layout dismount with one step. Scary times for UCLA!<br />
<br />
8:33 - De La Scary scores range 9.75 to 9.9, and her 9.825 pretty much seals a Supah Six for them. Utah is out with an uncharacteristic fall from Lopez, even before Lofgren & Dabritz compete.<br />
<br />
8:35 - Courtney goes 9.8, and Zam was doing a perfect routine until she did a Stanford-like low double layout and step forward. No matter, because Utah has taken themselves out on beam. Zam goes 9.825, finishing 197.2 - they tie Okalahoma!<br />
<br />
So congrats to the now-lucky UCLA S&M leotards! Congrats to the Bama of Ala! Congrats to O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A-H-Aaaaaah Oklahomaha!

<br />
2:03pm - the Sooners are starting on vault and sticking them!<br />
<br />
2:08pm - another good vault, small hop back by Kmeciak that only goes 9.825. Judging will be tight here today.<br />
<br />
2:12pm - another good OK vault, another hop back. Bree Olson goes 9.875 and no Bart, she didn't stick it. That was an 80's stick, not a 2013 stick.<br />
<br />
2:15pm - Iowa girl rocks her double layout dismount, then trips & falls on the bars cables. Typical gymnast! I wish there were some team lineup lists so I know who she is.<br />
<br />
2:20pm - Oklahoma finished vault with a 49.375, so they're on track to peak during nationals. Iowa is having bars issues (2 falls so far), and Washington has already bombed a fx (8.625) from Northey, so both of them will have to werq for a good day. Vaccher on fx for Washington now, mounting with a clean double tuck. But where's the excitement? No energy to this music or routine - its. just. clean. *snore*<br />
<br />
2:21pm - Rachel Updike just pulled off a crazy beam acro series - bhs to Kotchetkova (full-twisting bhs). The way her legs spun around I didn't think she could make it at all.<br />
<br />
2:23pm - Rodgers on fx for Washington. Nice kid, bored already. Middle pass of running front layout to front full. Trying to do vague hip-hop moves to techno music while smiling. Nice double tuck dismount.<br />
<br />
2:27pm - the last performer on floor is an individual who already stumbled oob on her opening double tuck. She doesn't seem very interested in her choreography, and ends with a slow double pike, landing with a low chest. I'm peeved at the small video, because I can't see her leotard all that well. It appeared to be maroon. Singing the slow ballad, "I won't remember youuuuuu...."<br />
<br />
2:30pm - I found the regional rotations and posted the link above! Apparently I won't remember K. Hawthorne of Air Force. Yo Air Force - you need zippier leos and choreo. Pop some No Doz and get on that.<br />
<br />
2:35pm - Okay, we've got Washington, Stanford, Iowa & Penn State this rotation. I kind of like the Penn State leotards - meh tumbling. I'm not a first-pass rudi kinda gal. Shona Morgan starts on bars for Stanford and has a perfectly okay routine, ending with a cowboyed, stuck double front.<br />
<br />
2:39pm - the Iowa routine up was starting out well with a cool mount, but is off on her two standing back tuck series. In the meantime, Ashley Morgan picked things up with a nifty, fast bar routine for Stanford.<br />
<br />
2:41pm - Ivana Hong up on bars for the Cardinal - low Tkachev, nice hs in her bail 1/2. Gorgeous dlo dismount, but slooooow rotation, and a hop forward. The Cardinal leos are okay - black torso, red sleeves.<br />
<br />
2:43pm - Some of these NCAA teams have a better pop music vault than NARAL - this Penn State kid is tumbling to old pop techno music WITH A SAX SOLO. How much dust did that music have on it when they dug it out of the archives? Cue Sonny Crockett.<br />
<br />
2:47pm - Sami Shapiro love on bars. She still has amazing form, still don't know why she can't keep her feet together on her Pak. Another slow double layout, landing with low shoulders and a teeny step forward. Bart is already loving on Stanford's bars, not realizing that the trick is if they can field 6 vaults that start from a 10.0.<br />
<br />
2:49pm - Alex Archer on bars for Stanford. Nice Gienger, and a great double layout dismount, with high shoulders and a small step back. Stanford coach now helping set the bars for their individual rotator, King of Illinois State.<br />
<br />
2:51pm - Ten times more interesting than the choreography of Penn State is watching the 3min pep talk the Penn State assistant coach gives each gymnast before she competes her 90 second routine, complete with arm and head choreography.<br />
<br />
2:53pm - While I get you linkage to the 3 regionals starting at the top of the hour, quick shout out to Southern Utah - nice leos and they went an impressive 6 for 6 while starting on beam. You've got some spunk, young Mormons! I believe!<br />

<br />
3:06pm - WE HAVE LINKAGE! I'll triple-check those Columbus regional links - they're not all on the air yet. This Regionals merde is now a 16-ring circus.<br />
<br />
3:09pm - Gainesville is online, with the sloooooooooowwwwwwwest Star Spangled Banner. Say it, "Man and wife! Just say man and wife!"<br />
<br />
3:13pm - Mr. AJ will be freaking out now that Florida is starting. I'm watching the UCLA vault rotation in Columbus. It's taking forevahhhhh to start. Miss Val is lovely in flowy black pants, heels and a white top. And she's flashing the vaulter numbers for the judges. Starts off with a decent vault with what looks like Pritchett. Interesting details to this new blue leo - fancy black band across the low back and some black detail in the neckline as well - an under-leo illusion if you will.<br />
<br />
3:17pm - looks like de al Torre was 2nd - the vid resolution is distracting. It literally makes all of the gymnasts look short, wide and ginormous. Kittens, UCLA didn't eat their feelings about losing Pac12s - it's just the resolution.<br />
<br />
3:20pm - I shouldn't have commented about Stanford's vaults - UCLA's vaults are downright average, with awkward preflights and bounces/steps on landings. Let's see if Zam can rock - excellent vault, small hop back. If those other vaults were 9.8s, that should be a 10.2.<br />
<br />
3:23pm - Courtney rocked a 9.925, and Zam should go around there. In the meantime, Florida is starting off on vault in more traditional shiny blue leos with sparkles. The UCLA leo is highly complicated, probably to distract me from the injured World & Olympic medalists on their bench.<br />
<br />
3:27pm - And for Florida, Hunter just nailed a ginormous Y1.5 with a tiny step afterwards. I'm not sure why she just doesn't do a double - vaulting seems THAT easy for her.<br />
<br />
3:31pm - Morgantown is featuring Michigan on vault, who apparently had to weather a right boob-grabbing glitter storm to arrive at the arena - congratulations Wolverines! Way to vault while bedazzling! Seriously, the vaults look solid - gorgeous preflights, solid landings. In this regional I'm loving the Kentucky (sorry about your "KY" postal code there...) leotards - blue torso - black sleeves, shoulders & back with nice sparkles on the front.<br />
<br />
3:40pm - Weird fall on vault by Austyn Fobes. Here's what you need to know for UCLA - they went 49.225 on vault and stuck a couple of landings. Florida went 49.6 on vault and also stuck a couple of landings. The vaults were that much better in the air. Hopefully Sawa will come back into the lineup for UCLA.<br />
<br />
Ready for the 24-ring circus? Let's do this kittens!<br />
<br />

<br />
3:54pm - Fun times - the Corvallis regional already has live video, but no one has told the drunk person holding the camera. Let's see how this goes!<br />
<br />
4:11pm - Still trying to get appropriate event links for Columbus. And the Oregon State pep band is playing the MOST sad, depressing national anthem ever. Kittens, you're getting scholarships - those notes should be perfect & memorized.<br />
<br />
4:15pm - OSU pep band is now earning my love with a peppy version of the B52's "Rock Lobster." I'll let you live. In the meantime, UCLA is again earning good, not great scores on bars. The Norman Regional will be close - 2nd place is only .125 after 3 events - Stanford in 2nd, Penn State in 3rd. The hope for Stanford is that Penn State will falter on their last event, beam. But like I was alluding to earlier, Stanford currently has a tough time fielding 6 10.0 vaults, and that's with an fty still worth a 10.0.<br />
<br />
4:19pm - King rocked a huge bar routine for Florida, disguising her short dismount by holding her feet in place and falling forward into her salute. Fick it until you Stick it, or er, something like that.<br />
<br />
4:24pm - UCLA is going to have to bring it after faltering to a 49.05 on bars. They're 2nd, but in 3rd place is Arizona, only .025 behind. Both teams still have to do beam, whereas LSU has already finished on beam and is slightly in front of both of them.<br />
<br />
4:26pm - one of my more favorite western teams is Idaho State, and they've got a gymnast rocking her Inception music at the Corvallis regional. You go pale kid - lovely routine!<br />
<br />
4:34pm - Stanford is hitting vault, so we'll see how Penn State does on beam. Each Penn State gymnast is getting the same 3min pep talk, with arm & head choreography, from the flowy-headed assistant coach.<br />
<br />
4:39pm - Stanford rocked vault for 49.425, so they're in the gate with a 196.800 - it appears Stanford & Oklahoma are safe and sound, both qualifying full teams to NCAA championships. Penn State is not going to catch them with a 9.6 & 9.625 on beam. Congrats Cardinal! Congrats Boomer Sooners!<br />
<br />
4:53pm - AJ is already calling Florida as good as 2007 Georgia. We shall see, but they're looking awesome. Getting Alaina Johnson back in the lineup has really done the trick for them.<br />
<br />
4:54pm - AJ - "What (Florida lacks) in form and extension they make up for in badassness in a time when everyone else is doing level 9 gymnastics." You heard it here, kittens!<br />
<br />
4:56pm - Macko rocks her beam routine including an absolutely stuck ro-double full dismount. I'd like to point out that she was not an excellent beam competitor until she arrived at Florida. Now she's clutch.<br />
<br />
4:59pm - Kittens, we need to discuss the ASU leos. Disappointingly, they're not as hiddy as usual. However, the flames! The flames! Between the glitterbomb flames & the horizontal back slit (I wish I were joking), it's a lotta look.<br />
<br />
5pm - King nails her beam routine, and per AJ, like 1996 Turgalan, Rhonda's Romanians hid her in the beam lineup and it worked out. I'm also liking what I see of Bridgeport, despite the tin foil leos. TIN FAIL. With their last names in glitter on the back.<br />
<br />
5:02pm - Oregon State of course is having issues in the post season, even at home, but starting to pick it back up on bars.<br />
<br />
5:08pm - Oregon State has officially imploded - 3 falls on bars, so they'll count two. Including Stambaugh, who was rock-solid in the early part of the season. Stunning. We'll see who makes it out of this regional!<br />
<br />
5:13pm - I even like the Arkansas leos - classy black with thin white Vs at the neckline & sleeve ends. WHO AM I? And why can't I see the Columbus regional?<br />
<br />
5:20pm - Oregon State is clawing back on beam, and they just showed Chelsea Davis' 9.9 bars routine for Georgia - gorgeous. And finally have the feed going for UCLA fx - I complete me.<br />
<br />
5:31pm - Finally get to watch Zam rock her Anchormanesque jazz flute music. Solid double pike, tried to stick it like an elite landing but had to lunge. Solid double full to layout step out. Easy rudi to end.<br />
<br />
5:33pm - Watching Pritchett explode her tumbling in Columbus while Cal's Crystal Paz shows what actual current pop music is dancing to Muse.<br />
<br />
5:36pm - Now Olivia Courtney is rocking floor, even the spider belly choreo move, and nails both the opening double Arabian and closing double pike.<br />
<br />
5:45pm - Florida is sitting on a gaudy 148.75 heading into floor. Bridget Sloan nails her routine, and the gators will probably go 198+. As ranked, Auburn & Minnesota are neck & neck for the 2 spot. I give it to Auburn based on their leos, but we'll see.<br />
<br />
5:49pm - I take it back - Auburn's on beam and Minnesota is on vault, so I'll guess that Minnesota is qualifying.<br />
<br />
5:50pm - AJ - "The Minnesota vaults are my everything. And Ashanee sticks like a dude and we live for it." Dave has declared that Florida has something for everyone, so the gators have received my 31 Flavors award. You go ice cream dream team!<br />
<br />
5:52pm - Minnesota nails another vault like they're 2007 Georgia. They're on fyeah like ASU's leos.<br />
<br />
5:54pm - Now the gymnast I live for, Kytra Hunter. Why in an open-ended code did Marta ignore a Hill's-coached Kytra I'll never know. She makes the double layout & double tuck look insanely easy.<br />
<br />
5:57pm - LSU & UCLA have qualified from the Columbus regional scoring 197.275 and 196.95 respectively. Good scores for both of them, and Arizona won the battle for 3rd over Ohio State, 196.1 to 196.05. Congrats Tigers and Bruins!<br />
<br />
6:05pm - To confirm, Florida & Minnesota have qualified with 198.400 and 197.100 respectively. The Morgantown regional has our first unofficial upset of the night - Illinois has qualified by .15 over Nebraska, who was 8th in the nation. Congrats Illini and Michigan!<br />
<br />
6:12pm - Oh fine. I'll also pull up the Tuscaloosa regional. Someone in a nice deep red leo with black mesh sleeves is on bars. And someone with a very loud yellow & blue leo with bad hair is on beam. Ladies, COMB YO HAIR. That is all. Oh wait - del Priore on floor. Why weren't we watching her, video producers? Gah.<br />
<br />
6:15pm - Arkansas just had a 2-fall bars routine, so Corvallis could get verrry interesting. I call butter bars.<br />
<br />
6:22pm - The Corvallis scores are all close - I don't think OSU can pull it out with the disastrous 47.525 on bars, but vault is getting scored big in this regional, so we'll see. In the meantime, Arkansas and Georgia are both doing well, and Cal is right behind Arkansas with an okay beam (counting 1 fall), good floor and excellent vault.<br />
<br />
6:29pm - Now Oregon State's Makayla Stambaugh on floor, who is just stunning. I could watch her & Cal's Alicia Asturias on floor all day long - tall, solid yet liquid, and dramatic.<br />
<br />
6:31pm - In Tuscaloosa, Bama is rocking and will easily qualify with a 3-event score of 147.925 and only floor left. While Utah & Denver are tied for 2nd with 147.0, I think Utah will easily qualify - their last event is vault, while Denver finishes on beam. Life is never easy for the 3-seed in a regional.<br />
<br />
6:54 - ASU had a great day to finish ahead of Oregon State, 195.700 to 195.375. Georgia & Arkansas look to qualify in the Corvallis regional.<br />
<br />
6:58 - And Bama (197.400) and Utah (196.400) have qualified out of Tuscaloosa. Denver finished behind Iowa State.<br />
<br />
7:01 - On the phone, talking to my buddy Onodious, and we're bemoaning that the team we could count on for leo hiddy, Arkansas, is wearing tasteful leos today. Where's the back pig? Where's the "Gymback" on the ass? Darn you, Arkansas, I love your leos.<br />
<br />
So that's it from regionals, and Oregon State goes down - congrats to Georgia (197.425) and Arkansas (196.95) for advancing to NCAA finals! Thanks to the Oregon State pep band! Thanks to Bart Conner and the woman who was commentating for the Pac 12! Thank you for tuning in! We have 12 teams going back to Cali - on April 19, be readdddddy to rummmmmmble in Pauley Pavilion!OlympicEffecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11708554152461551887noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-82445950022988191152013-04-01T17:42:00.000-07:002013-04-01T17:42:17.519-07:00TSL: Interview with Elaine Zayak<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cAlLabjukps" width="560"></iframe><br />

Yesterday, my friend La and I decided to take a hot yoga
class on the Upper East Side together and then have dinner at a lovely vegan
restaurant. We’re not actually vegan, but we’ve considered it. Granted, while
our people were out consuming an abundance of liquid calories, we struggled to
make difficult decisions: Curried Unchicken Salad or Pine Nut Crusted Seitan.
La had already done spinning at Fly Wheel earlier in the day and I had already
skated, but working out again seemed like the appropriate life decision. As we
walked around in Lululemon debating the merits of $180 yoga pants and taking
yoga teacher training, it came to my attention that we’ve become <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">those</i> people: We’ve gone too far.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Millions of people around the world do yoga every day, but
they simply aren’t on our level. While yogis all around the world are intense,
OCD and bonding over ‘good energy’ with fellow anxious, body-dysmorphic
-over-achievers, the ones who gravitate to hot yoga are simply on another
level. Paying extra to do yoga in 105 degrees and 40 percent humidity is a life
choice and there is no going back. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yoga is addictive and a lifestyle, but hot yoga is simply a
cult. You can fight it or you can embrace it, but you will be sucked in. I
regularly pay too much money to do yoga all over NJ. I continually debate
whether I should do yoga near work or at home and regularly purchase packages
at a number of studios. I naturally feel guilty for not going every day to all
of them, because the fit, Zen teachers always appreciate my energy and my
downward dog---or at least that’s what they tell me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">As Bikram says, “You
can mess with the Gods but don’t mess with the knees.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>

<o:p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XRYZIXxzaME" width="560"></iframe></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For those who stalk me sufficiently, it is no secret that I
have descended into a level of insanity known as Bikram yoga. Bikram yoga is
like hot yoga, except that it is so not the same thing. Bikram is a series of
26 poses and 2 breathing exercises designed by Bikram Choudhury. He is a
discussed in ‘Bikram yoga’ classes (oh, he trademarked the series of 26 poses
and will sue anyone who tries to copy it without paying royalties), as
somewhere between an inspirational leader and God himself. He has written books
about his postures that are overpriced and purchased by all of the
practitioners who do Bikram. “<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
teachers of his classes all attended his teacher training in Los Angeles, where
they spent thousands of dollars to become teachers and eventually own their own
Bikram studios, where they will overcharge students who will eventually aspire
to do the same. These teachers will forever discuss their time with Bikram and
convince you that each pose in Bikram yoga has mystical benefits that may
boggle your mind after class, yet sound ultra convincing in the 105-degree
heat. This sounds like a religious experience needed to be had by all until
you’re a cynical gay bitch who googles him and watches youtube clips where he
is accused of being everything from a money-grubbing misogynist to a rapist to
just plain fucking crazy. Bikram himself claims to sleep just under 30 hours a
month. And for all of that yoga, he is beginning to develop a bit of a gunt. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I continually debate the merits of doing hot vinyasa vs.
Bikram. If I go to either studio, I will inevitably purchase a package and be
addicted to that for months until I make a rash decision and switch hot yoga
studios, only to feel that I’ve fallen behind in either my Bikram or my vinyasa
practice. Bikram yoga feels so good during the first few hours after class
(until you come down with intense soreness of which the only cure is taking
another class—Aleve does not alleviate those sore hamstrings or back muscles),
but not all of the practitioners are at ‘normal skater weight.’ The workout is
difficult, but it does lack the cardiovascular aspects of vinyasa. Difficult
doesn’t cut it: some of the poses are painful, unpleasant, and downright
annoying. Because every class is the same, one begins to dread the Bikram
versions of Triangle, Camel, Standing-head-to-knee, Half Moon (which is nothing
like normal half moon), and standing backward bend. Unlike vinyasa classes that
feature ipods playing music performed by potheads, Bikram is done to the
soundtrack of teachers with microphones bitching at you for drinking water,
threatening you not to leave the room and guilting you into participating in
30-day challenges. Doing one class is never enough either. If you aren't doing two classes or pondering it, you aren't committed enough. Four hours in a sauna may not be recommended by doctors, but it is perfectly fine for most yogis. While my recent Sinus infection has me doubting that choking
my throat and cutting off my airway during certain poses is really boosting my
immune system and I don’t have enough free time to measure whether Eagle pose
is really improving my orgasms, my body does feel better and my hips do feel
more open. It does seem to help my skating.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Vinyasa is almost like candy. This is where the crazy yogis
are doing headstands, inversions and Cirque du Soleil contortions. This is
where the overly-buff-former- softball players teach you to activate your core
and reach your full potential. This would be my yoga of choice, but it involves
planks and downward dog which aggrevate my wrist that is permanently fucked up
from falling on too many axel jumps at twenty six to function properly. I
sometimes wear a wrist brace to do push ups. My friend La actually wears one to
class like middle-aged woman, but she too is in her mid twenties and damaged from
chaturanga and far too many years spent in an ice rink. La doesn’t actually
consume calories and has pondered befriending Lululemon ambassadors for the
perks of free shit: she is a gem.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
La also lives on the Upper East Side. While I do Bikram on a
carpet in Jersey, La is doing Fly Wheel and Hot Yoga at the uptown versions of
places Nastia and Tara would frequent if they ever left their respective
neigborhoods. (We’ve actually discussed going to Fly Wheel with Tara, but she
doesn’t leave her neighborhood and we really don’t want to go to a place with
her that records your time. Tara will go apeshit before she is second best in
class.) I also don’t know if instagram works uptown, which would simply not give
them a reason to breathe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Every hot yogi knows the benefit of the guest pass. Trying
out a new yoga studio is expensive. Walk-in classes can cost anywhere from
$20-$30. If you come from Jersey like myself, you will lug around a mat and
towels (and a terrycloth towel for your mat so you don’t slip in the heat)
because you’re used to renting such things in Jersey. Yet, La took me to yoga
nirvana and it is called Pure. This studio is so fancy that you have to call a
Yogi ambassador to get a free class and they have waiting lists, but I managed
a guest pass and all that shit I lugged from Jersey was for nought. Pura Yoga
is a place that even Tara and Nastia would approve of (they should look into
endorsing their workout places.) There are four floors of hot yoga and figure 4 (if you haven’t done fly barre, you haven’t worked out) goodness. The bathrooms
have every complimentary amenity known to man and the body wash smells so good.
The studios have refrigerated Eucalyptus towels outside for your dabbing
pleasure. Not only will you zen-out to Marvin Gaye while you flip your downward
dog (on their yoga mats), they will have an assistant come around and gently
push you into a deeper stretch. That assistant will then facebook message you
that she ‘didn’t want to interrupt your practice’ but believes you are the host
of The Skating Lesson. (Yes, the yoga and skating worlds do overlap over body
dymsporhia.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She gently pressed
down on my glutes, but she felt that asking about the Skating Lesson might’ve
simply been too intimate. The class was so much fun that an hour in the heat
felt far too short after being used to 90 minutes of Bikram torture. Somehow, a
month of hot yoga at Pure is cheaper than Bikram in Jersey. For $150 a month,
you can never leave their studio. And with their amazing bathooms and lounge
chairs, why would you?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For $250,
you get unlimited figure 4 and yoga. Working out is far better than eating or
paying rent anyway.</div>

After class, La and I did the only natural thing and went to
Juice Generation. I’ve long had a love affair with juicing ever since my love
interest in Seattle tried to convince me that carrot juice did everything from
regulating my bowel movements to curing cancer. (He failed to mention that
following Dr. Lorraine Day’s instructions would turn my heel orange, but that
was really a minor detail.) Juicing is the only natural way of replenishing
your body after dehydrating it while working out. Normal people may juice once
in a while for taste, hot-yogi-natural foodies know that drinking something
that tastes like feet is worth it if it includes carrots, spinach, beets and
wheat grass. <br />

After yoga, we walked around the Upper East Side, looking at
overpriced colored T-shirts at American Apparel and soon wondered into
Lululemon. For those of you out of the loop, Lululemon is the only place to by
yoga clothes. The clothing is so expensive that they hold free yoga classes in
the studio to reel you in. Of course, the classes aren’t hot yoga, so it isn’t
even like working out. These pants may cost $180 and may need to be your entire
wardrobe, but they seem reasonable when you’re like me and bought a $52 pair of
new yoga shorts because you forgot yours and were having a fat day and needed
to go after work. (And like, I had a $10 studio credit, that shit was practically
on sale.) The real gem of Lululemon is the employee and ambassador program,
where you write goals and visions that are posted in stores. “I will be married
with 3 kids in January 2018 and be a certified Fly Wheel instructor, travel to
India with my husband, visit my parents at least three times a year and teach
Hot Yoga and Fly Bar in the mornings. I will take five fitness classes a week.”
You will read and scoff at these because you take five fitness classes in four
days. (La actually did.)</div>

As we wandered around to kill time before our Vegan
restaurant reservation, we wound up in a Natural Foods Supermarket. Hot yogis
and natural foodies LOVE supermarkets, even if they don’t look like they
actually consume calories. They also love taking pictures of their food. An
entire blog revolution occurs <a href="http://www.peasandcrayons.com/p/what-i-ate-wednesday.html">every Wednesday where true vegans take pictures of everything they eat during the day and post them online</a>. We admire their
efforts, but we don’t make enough money to afford plates that make our food
look that nice. (Our lettuce would never glisten like that either.) La pondered
buying a powder that becomes ‘like peanut butter’ when you add water to it. I
checked our ‘Fire Cider,’ which everyone in Bikram class is doing. It is
supposed to be good for your immune system and many yogis take apple cider
vinegar mixed with jalapenos several times a day even though WebMD is pretty
sure that that shit is seriously bad for you. I don’t know why regular Peanut
Butter won’t suffice in smoothies, but I’m considering trying it. I’ve already
done spirulina pills and juiced beets; eliminating the calories and supposed
‘good fat’ doesn’t seem that serious.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Walking to the restaurant, we discussed where we want to go
on our yoga retreats. They may be about as expensive as going to Dorothy
Hamill’s Fantasy Skating Camp, but when you’re intense enough to be an adult
figure skater or hot yogi, spending $3,500 to do yoga in Hawaii instead of
lounge on the beach in Hawaii seems like a good life decisions. (And if you’re
gay, there is always fine print that mentions these retreats are clothing
optional.)</div>

Eating with hot yogis is very telling. The stories you tell
may be normal to you, yet shocking for your friends who join you and aren’t
eating to avoid the calories of actual food. You may be like me and have
recently gone on a date with someone from Bikram class who told you that you
aren’t getting your money’s worth on your cruise if you don’t gain ten pounds
(he clearly doesn’t know who he is talking to), he doesn’t do yoga to work out be
fit---he does it for inner peace (red flag #2), and that he and his boss often
split a bucket of fried chicken for lunch (my inner figure skater was pushed
over the edge and know sees fried chicken in his problem areas while he is
doing yoga for inner peace and sometimes sitting during poses.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I sit here drinking green tea (Nastia once told me it would
boost my metabolism), I am pondering the end goal of it all. Yoga is about the
journey to which there is no end goal. But one day, when we all work at
Lululemon and have completed our fifth teacher training and co-own a Juice
Generation, we will reach those many goals we write on the wall, even if we don’t
have the money or free time to do them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though we may never know if a smile is truly the window to
your soul being happy and at home, it sounds really nice in the moment. And we
may be too intense for many who date us, but for those just like us, we’re
normal.</div>
