The bars final was good in the fact that nobody had a fall. The beam final always seems to have a fall or two, maybe. But we've got the Olympic Champ and the current world champ in the final. HAHAHA! The commentator made a funny, he said after "the drama of the vault and bars, we need something calm, like a beam final" HAHAHAHA!

Marine Boyer, France:  fro aerial + spl + wolf 1/2,  round off + bhs + 2 ft layout, sw leap + sw 1/2, splits under 180 a bit, L turn full,  side aerial + spl + side somi, wobble on a spl 3/4,  round off + dbl pike, step back on landing. She was definitely nervous and it showed, some little wobbles here and there. 13.166 (5.8, 7.366)

Maellsye Brassart, Belgium: front walkover mount,  fro aerial, small wobble, spl, broke a connection i think, BHS + LOSO,  sw, another wobble between that and her sw 1/2, full turn, side aerial, solid there,  sw ring,  wolf jump,  spl leap + sw,  good there, split positions nice,  round off + dbl pike, chest a bit down on landing, maybe a slight step, but not bad.  The broken connections are going to kill her D score. 12.266

Commentator man "Having some technical issues, someone forgot to pay the phone bill." OMG, that is hilarious!

Melanie De Jesus Dos Santos, France - front pike mount, nailed it,  front pike, solid,  BHS + 2ft lay, solid,  sw + sissone,  lovely,  sw 1/2, very confident,  front aerial + spl + bhs, small wobble, but is ok,  spl 3/4, big balance check, almost off, 1/1 turn,  round off + dbl back, small hop. Overall, really solid, only had 2 real errors and that was a slight wobble on a mixed connection and a big wobble on her spl 3/4 jump, on the replay, it looks like she landed with her shoulder slightly dipped, which caused the error. 13.066 (5.4, 7.666)

Sanne Wevers, Netherlands -  round off + BHS mount,  L turn 2/1, didn't complete the 2nd turn with the leg up, side aerial + BHS, beautiful, nice extension,  front aerial + spl + bhs 1/1,  L turn 1/1 + 2/1 turn + spl jump, beautiful,  pike gainer full dismount, stuck cold. BAM! Sanne is calculating her D score in her notebook, I love it. 13.9 (5.6, 8.3)

(I just realized there is not a single Russian gymnast in this beam final. Huh. I missed qualifications because I was at work, so I don't know all that happened there)

Vasiliki Millousi, Greece -  off on her LOSO mount, sigh,  BHS + LOSO, solid,  spl + front aerial + spl ring jump,  side aerial + spl + dbl stag ring, sw + spl ring leap,  full turn, nice extension,  sw ring, slight bobble, lovely low beam work,  round off + 2/1 twist dismount. small hop.  She's a year younger than I am and she's still amazing. I love it. YAY! 12.133

Ilaria Kaeslin, Switzerland - sw leap, great split position,  BHS + BHS + LOSO, wobbles, but saves it,  beautiful onodi + sheep jump, small wobble,  BHS 1/1, spl ring, small wobble, Y turn 1/1,  fro aerial + spl + wolf jump,  side aerial,  round off + 2/1 twist low landing, just missed going overtime. She landed right as that bell went off. 12.466, she got a 0.1 penalty for going OT.

Nina Derwael -  round off + loso mount, solid,  BHS + LOSO, solid,  fro aerial,  side somi, crisp, sw + spl, nice extension and fluidity, wolf turn 3/1, solid,  gainer pike full, small hop. That was awesome. That's going to challenge Sanne for the beam title. 13.6 (5.0, 8.6)

Pauline Schaefer (the current world beam champ), Germany -  sw leap mt, spl + y turn 1/1,  BHS + LOSO, small wobble, sw ring, beautiful, solid,  full turn, falls off on her eponymous skill(side somi 1/2) she just slid off (in the replays, looks like one foot was almost off the beam), I'm done. I'm crying, Spl 3/4,  side somi,  side aerial + spl + dbl stag ring,  laid out gainer, stuck. 12.4

The final result is:
1. Sanne Wevers 13.9
2. Nina Derwael 13.5

"The only survivor from Russia's Rio 2016 team." Ok, interesting choice of words. I didn't think that it was some kind of disaster

Golgota, Romania -  beautiful stuck DLO,  dbl arabian, huge cowboyed, sw side, solid leap positions, DBL L turn + 1/1 turn,  full in, bit messy but get's it round,  2/1 wolf turn, super fast, sw ring + tour jete 1/2,  clean dbl tuck to finish. She maybe tiny, but she is very powerful. 13.6 (5.5, 8.1)

MDJDS, France - the closer of the competition -  DLO 1/1, chest down on landing, bit piked on landing,  big full in, bounce out,  tour jete 1/2,  wolf turn 3/1, may have fallen out of last turn,  front lay + dbl tuck,  clean dbl pike, bounce, out, sw, sw 1/2. 13.766 (5.5, 8.266) She's the winner!
