Simone Biles (USA)
  1. 2.5 twisting Yurchenko (Amanar) – Perfect in the air. Only thing is a hop back. So great in the air. So much height. 15.900
  2. Half on, 1.5 off (Cheng) – Again, perfect in the air. Just a hop in place. 16.033. 15.966 Average. She wins it!
Maria Paseka (RUS)
  1. Half on, 1.5 off (Cheng) – Serious pre-flight issues, legs are in an extreme V in pre-flight. Bends her knees and crosses her legs. Sticks the landing but one foot is out of bounds. 15.266
  2. 2.5 twisting Yurchenko (Amanar) – More leg separation on the pre-flight. Crosses her legs and bends her knees. Lands in the middle of the mat but takes a large step back. 15.241. 15.253 Average.
Dipa Karmakar (IND)
  1. Tsukahara double twist (Zamolodchikova) – Legs separated on pre-flight. Legs are glued together though tucks a bit. 14.866
  2. Handspring double front (Produnova) – Very nice! Cowboys in the air. Large knee bend on landing, definitely hits her feet first but her but hits the floor. 15.266. 15.066 Average
Giulia Steingruber (SUI)
  1. Handspring Rudi – Legs a bit separated on pre-flight. Gets loads of height. Pikes down after she is done twisting. Lands well but takes a hop. 15.533
  2. Double twisting Yurchenko – Nice in the air but pikes down again after twisting. Hops back. 14.900. 15.216 Average
Wang Yan (CHN)
  1. Tsukahara double twist (Zamolodchikova) – Nicely rotated. A little piked throughout. Lands very well but lacked height and distance. Takes a large step back. 14.866
  2. Handspring Rudi – Very nice! Legs together throughout, though had some bend knees. Lands well but with her chest down and takes a tiny hop forward 15.133. 14.999 Average
Oksana Chusovitina (UZB)
  1. Handspring double front (Produnova) – Cowboys in the air. Lands super low and forward and has to do a flip out of it. 14.933
  2. Tsukahara double twist (Zamolodchikova) – Pretty clean in the air! Lands a tiny bit underrotated and needs to take a large step out of bounds. 14.733. 14.833 Average
Shallon Olsen (CAN)
  1. 2.5 twisting Yurchenko (Amanar) – Her legs are crossed, but otherwise, decent in the air. Lands and takes a couple steps. Her knee slides on the mat, do not know if the judges will count it as a fall. 14.966
  2. Half on, 1.5 off tucked (Khorkina) – Nice in the air, lands with her chest down and almost sticks it. 14.666. 14.816 Average
Hong Un Jong (PRK)


  1. Half on, 1.5 off (Cheng) – A little piked in the air. Tucks her legs in the last twist. Lands with her chest down a little and takes a step back. 15.400
  2. Triple twisting Yurchenko – twists so fast but her feet landed after 3.25 twists and her body was a bit behind that. She falls back. They devalue the vault to an Amanar. 14.400.  14.900 Average
