Today, I'm live blogging the American Cup.
Still in pain as my wrist is not healed completely, but I'll see if I can survive.
I'll mostly follow the ladies because I'm not really as familiar with men's gymnastics.
Tisha Volleman Netherlands Vault - FTY
Asuka Teramoto Vault Japan - handspring front 1/2, piked the landing, but decent height.
Melanie Dos Santos France Vault - FTY, step back on landing, nice body position - wished she held it longer because she piked down to land. 13.466
Xie Yufen VT China - FTY - maybe a DTY, I think I missed it.
Riley McCusker USA VT - DTY, chest down on landing and takes a step to the side.
Emily Whitehead Australia VT - FTY, lots of height, big hop on landing.
Yul Moldaur is on rings for the USA guys. He's got nice lines and toes.
Amy Tinkler VT Great Britain - DTY, nicest of the competition so far, good body form in the air, smallish hop on landing.
