All north-american podium.

 

This could be the year when the Americas (the continents) will finally shine at the World Championships. Three nations already got medals, Brazil has very big chances ahead and Colombia has a real chance on the parallel bars.

Simone Biles wins her 10th gold medal in individual events at a WCH. This makes her the most winning female gymnast in individual events, beating Svetlana Khorkina (9). 

 

 

The difficulty tarriff probably won her the gold already before she even took the vault?

Not this time. She opted for a "simpler" vault (6.0 instead of 6.4). Her execution was not the best, but still pretty good. The second vault is both very hard AND her execution is nothing short of extraordinary, so she did deserve this title regardless of how difficult her vaults were.

Unusual mistake from Belyavskiy and immediately we have a huge scoring delay. Gymnastics scoring at its best.

Max Whitlock doesn't reach to win the 3rd gold in a row... he was so close  

[thiago_simoes 1,423]

And now Whitlock got silver. It looks like the clear favorites (Shirai, Whitlock) are only getting silver today.

Well, Petrounias is next and Zanetti was second in qualifications, so let's hope this chain keeps up going strong.

Gold for Ruoteng 15.166, tied Whitlock, but wins with higher execution points.

The Downie sisters are known for being headcases, but man this was really rough. Eliie lost her balance right at the first kip to handstand. This is the easiest skill in her routine! Girl, this is the WCh final, who does that kind of mistake? Then she had another silly mistake in the easiest skills in her routine again, and had to count an empty swing, bad leg form and eventually a fall (only the fall was deducted, though, since errors leading to the fall are not counted).

Wow.
