3:24 pm. Marine Boyer FRA BB: Switch leap mount is gorgeous. Some leg form in the roundoff layout, little bounce on the landing. Switch leap, switch half, doesn’t connect and wobbles on the latter. Front aerial to jump series, came up short on the latter and had a massive wobble. Side aerial is good, so is the side somi. Hits the full turn. Clean double pike with a great landing.
3:22 pm. Touch for beam is happening now!

3:14 pm. Lee Junho KOR VT: Kaz double full, mostly nice in the air aside from some ankles, lands with his chest a bit forward and a step to the side. 14.466 (5.6, 8.866)
Shewfelt for the second vault, takes a big lunge forward and then brings the other foot up to join, also gets a TON of distance but not quite the height he probably would have wanted off the table. 14.166 (5.2, 8.966)
14.316 average
3:09 pm. Artur Davtyan ARM VT: STUCK DRAGULESCU!!!!! Goes crooked off the table and ends up landing with a foot out of bounds, but this was so good, so nice in the air. 15.000 (5.6, 9.500, -0.1)
Follows it up with a beautiful handspring randi with a small hop back. Ooh, this could take the lead! 15.100 (5.6, 9.500)
15.050 average puts him first!! Literally no one does it better than him.
3:04 pm. Gabriel Burtanete ROU VT: Kaz double full, some leg form throughout in the air and a big lunge back. 14.666 (5.6, 9.066)
Does the Dragulescu for the second vault, HUGE off the table, but lands super deep and takes a big lunge back when he pops up out of that landing. 14.400 (5.6, 8.800)
14.533 average
3:01 pm. Kim Hansol KOR VT: Absolutely gorgeous handspring randi! Tiniest pike coming off the table and some ankle separation at times in the air but he nearly sticks the landing, it was beautiful. 14.900 (5.6, 9.300)
Nooooo, goes for the Shewfelt second vault, but he’s a bit too far back on his heels and stumbles off the mat, sitting it. 12.900 (5.2, 8.000, -0.3)
13.900 average
2:59 pm. Wrapping up the touch for the second half now.
2:53 pm. Igor Radivilov UKR VT: Great landing on the handspring double front half! His chest position isn’t bad. Just a small bounce on the landing, looked like in place, and of course the leg separation in the air but his isn’t even that severe, I think the best we’ll see in this final of anyone doing tucks. 14.800 (5.6, 9.200)
Tsuk double pike, and it’s EXCELLENT! Big lunge back out of the landing but his position and shape in the air is fantastic and his chest on the landing isn’t too far forward. 14.666 (5.6, 9.066)
14.733 average moves him second!
2:48 pm. Carlos Yulo PHI VT: Handspring piked double front half, nice pike shape, landing ends up OOB but it’s an overall strong vault! 15.000 (6.0, 9.100, -0.1)
Kaz double, form is mostly perfect in the air, just deteriorates the VERY tiniest bit before landing, but the landing is a good one, little balance check to the side. This was great. 14.900 (5.6, 9.300)
14.950 average puts him in first!
2:43 pm. Tanigawa Wataru JPN VT: Handpsring piked double front half, tucks his knees a bit, especially in the second flip, and he comes up pretty short on the landing, knees are almost to the mat and his chest is at his knees. Also lands with a foot out-of-bounds and then takes a giant lunge forward. Yeah, they downgraded that to a tuck, which I think is tough because the first pike looked legit, I think a knee bend deduction would have been sufficient? 14.166 (5.6, 8.666, -0.1)
Second vault is a kaz full, really loses his form throughout this in the air in terms of both his hips and knees, lands a bit weird with his hips bending his chest forward, legs are a little locked, hop to the side. 13.833 (4.8, 9.033)
13.999 average
2:39 pm. Caio Souza BRA VT: Handspring double front half aka the Dragulescu, ends up a bit short and has to take a huge hop forward. 14.333 (5.6, 8.733)
Kaz double full, some leg form especially as he gets further through the twist, big lunge back. 14.500 (5.6, 8.900)
14.416 average
2:37 pm. Vault warmups are underway now!
