World Championships time is upon us!

Today, I'm live blogging the qualifications session of the ladies of team USA. It's probably the only time I'll be able to do any live blogging during these world championships since everything is scheduled for when I will be at work.

Adult probs, HA.

Competition is starting and USA starts on bars.

The US National Championships will end with the final session for the seniors.

The first night ended with Simone Biles sitting at the top of the leaderboard with a huge 60.1, 3.1 points ahead of Morgan Hurd, sitting in second with a 57.100. Simone was also the top finisher on every event. If she wins every event after night two, she will be the first woman since Dominique Dawes in 1994 to do so.


Will she be the next Dominique Dawes? Will Morgan and Simone be the ones to beat this quad? Find out, follow along. Refresh the page for all the good stuff!

The final day of US Nationals is upon us.  The competition was fierce.

Day 1 ended with GAGE's Leanne Wong leading the pack with Sunisa Lee and Kayla DiCello following close behind. Wong was the junior winner at the US Classic qualifying event a couple weeks ago, and it looks like she's on her way to becoming the junior national champ as well.

Will Wong be the next junior national champ? Follow along with all the action to find out, refresh the page for the latest!

Just got off of work and I'm ready for gymnastics, it's my reward for a busy Friday.

We had the juniors session earlier today with GAGE's Leanne Wong leading the way after the first round of competition.

Tonight will feature current reigning world champion Morgan Hurd, current reigning Olympic and 3x world champ Simone Biles, and the current US National Champion Ragan Smith. There's also the NCAA faction, represented by Margzetta Frazier, repping UCLA and Florida Gator Trinity Thomas.

It's going to be an intense competition, so refresh the page every few minutes for all the good stuff.

It's championships time!

I start the festivities with a live blog of the juniors session. It's day 1 of a two day competition. Some faces to watch include McKayla Maroney clone Jordan Bowers, Sunisa Lee, Kayla DiCello. Also, Sarah Finnegan's baby sister Aleah who shows her Finnegan genes with beautiful form and her GAGE teammates, including Classic Champ Leanne Wong and JaFree Scott.

Follow along, refresh the page every so often for updates.

Author's note - I'm at work, so I will be live blogging on my lunch break since I'm working from home today, but updates may not be all encompassing. Apologies in advance.

More live blogging coming your way! This morning, it's the senior event finals.

First up will be the vault final.
