American girls in qualifying!
UB:
-Morgan did great! Doubted herself a bit on the dismount but hit her handstands really well
-Grace was okay! Quite a bit of leg separation but somehow she almost had nearly the same E score as Morgan bc score building?
-Riley, eeeek :\ she missed a connection that would've really helped her D score and landed really deep on her dismount so she didn't even end up beating Morgan. No way she makes EF :\
-Simone
almost went over on one or two handstands but NAILED her dismount and is currently only 0.2 behind the top qualifier!
BB:
-Morgan looked a little hesitant and had some balance checks but nothing major!
-omg and then poor Riley fell in her acro series
but again she only somehow ended up 0.2 behind Morgan bc of bull**** score-building? Sad that she won't make EF for her two best events and will probably only end up with a team medal. Floor won't happen unless there's insane score building or something.
-Kara did great!! Lots of doubt coming in because of her ring positions (almost a reverse "but her inbars!!!!" type of situation from last year) and how harsh the judges were last year, but she ended up doing great! Can't seem to ever nail her dismount but she has the top qualifying score!
-omg and then Simone things, scoring a 14.8 and taking the lead while she has a damn kidney stone
a few balance checks but she's #1 now and Kara's #2 which is awesome
