Why Gabrielle Black Vaulted Twice
Gabrielle Black did her second vault at Worlds, then did it again. Here's why.
The green light came on, but nobody told the judges. The right call when it's the system's fault, not the gymnast's.

Canada's Floor E-Score Secret
Only three floor routines in all of Worlds qualifying scored an 8.0 E score or higher. All three were Canadian.
What has Canada figured out? Full-body dance from start to finish, and three-pass routines.

Flavia Saraiva's Vault Saved Brazil
Flavia Saraiva didn't vault in podium training. In qualifying, her Yurchenko full got Brazil into the team final.
The margin over Great Britain was less than 0.2. Plus a beam routine good enough to lead until China went.

China Qualifies First Despite a Bars Meltdown
China qualified first at Worlds without a single gymnast in the bars final.
Two massive beam routines and a vault rotation that finally keeps up. China was further below its potential than the U.S. and still outscored them.

Names but No Faces
The neutral Russian team was introduced at Worlds with names but no photos. They weren't there for picture day.
Which is why Worlds needs a yearbook. With senior quotes.

Japan Wins the World Team Title
Japan are world team champions, but they made sure it wasn't boring.
Misses on P-bars, then Kawakami fell on high bar in the last rotation. Not-Russia took silver, China bronze.

The Floor Broke at Worlds. Again.
The floor broke during the men's team final at Worlds. Again.
A Dutch gymnast caught it in warm-up, and the Spieth crew had to rebuild the corner mid-meet. Montreal 2017 flashbacks, and of course Bart texted immediately.
