Saturday Reside Weblog — February 1, 2025

In UCLA lineup information, we’ll see Riley Jenkins within the vault lineup reasonably than Anyimi or Webster-Longin. No Katelyn Rosen in any respect right this moment, with Webster-Longin taking her spot on bars and Chiles coming into the beam lineup as anticipated.

Is Fox conscious that the internets exist, or like, nah? OK we now have an online hyperlink now whereas basketball continues to be self indulgent nonsense.

Ooooooh, at 8 previous the half hour they’re reducing off this basketball to change us to gymnastics. Take that! The longer term is now.

Your identify is Connor Onion.

Harkness – ub – msu – toe on to excessive gienger – small arch on hb handstand – hits bail – dlo, lean ahead to carry stick

After 1: UCLA 49.350, Michigan State 49.300

Each groups will probably be happy with the beginning, scoring fairly free on the finish there but in addition some bizarre choose separations that led to some unusual rankings that perhaps don’t mirror the standard of routines.

Rotation 2

Tucker – VT – MSU – y1.5, long way, step to the aspect, a little bit of knees. 9.850

Malabuyo – UB – UCLA – tight first hs – maloney to pak, small leg breaks on each – good 1/2 activate low – toe on, ftdt, holds stick. 9.850

Smith – VT – MSU – y1.5, and a 3rd stick in a row, largest of the bunch but. 9.950 and one choose goes 10.

McGowan – ub – UCLA – toe to tkatchev to overshoot (which is ok so long as they don’t suppose she was making an attempt to handstand) – brief hs on excessive – dlo, flung out some, chest ahead and a step. 9.750, not sufficient separation between that and Malabuyo beforehand

Stephen – vt – MSU – excessive y1.5 however lands nicely brief with a major lunge again. 9.800, additionally too excessive for a missed vault when a strong hit went 9.850 to steer off

Esparza – UB – UCLA – hits mloney to bhardwaj, somewhat over the b=low bar however works out of it tremendous – small again place on low – good vl – dlo, hop again

After 2: Michigan State 98.900, UCLA 98.500

Michigan State opens up an enormous lead after the perfect vault rotation in gymnastics thus far this 12 months, scoring 49.600 and positively higher than LSU’s 49.550 from final night time. UCLA tremendous on bars however not tremendous crisp within the landings, after which didn’t get the Chiles rating, which they sometimes depend on to convey up the whole.

Rotation 3

Sam’s like, after I was an athlete, all I wished to be was not an athlete.

Lee – BB – UCLA – aerial to separate, clean – bhs loso, hit, perhaps very small squeeze adjustment – swap to a excessive straddle – gainer full, caught. 9.850

Beaufait – FX – MSU – excessive 2/1, principally controls the step – swap to change ring 1/2 – again 1.5 to structure, decrease structure and barely jarring on the step. 9.775

Chiles – BB – UCLA – bhs loso, proper on – cat leap to change aspect, good horizontal place there – comfy full flip – aspect aerial, lean correction with arm wave – 2/1, small rebound. 9.850

Tucker – FX – MSU – rudi to a clean loso, Aly is vicariously speaking in regards to the 92 Olympics proper now – entrance 2/1, controls the step. 9.850

Campbell – BB – UCLA – bhs lay pike, arm wave correction – break up leap to change 1/2, tght, below break up with a wobble – beat to separate soar – gainer full, chest down, hop ahead. A decent one right this moment. 9.675

Harkness – FX – MSU – ftdt, hit with slide again – swap to separate full to wolf full – entrance by way of to double tuck, rebound again. 9.850

Moors – BB – UCLA – clean aerial to bhs – full flip, slight over flip – cat leap to aspect aerial, hit – swap 1/2, tighter swap 1/2 right this moment with chest place and a examine – tuck full off the top, step ahead. 9.700 that may rely.

Stephen – FX – MSU – entrance tuck by way of to rudi, somewhat low, slide again – swap 1/2 to a excessive wolf full, tighter within the swap 1/2 – loso to knee and roll choreo I like – entrance 2/1, large lunge ahead. 9.875

Alipio – FX – UCLA – bhs bhs loso, manner off line and falls as Sam tells us the foundations of beam – aspect aerial, hit – break up leap to change to beat, little lean within the center – gainer tuck full, lean ahead to carry

Smith – FX – MSU – ftdt, chest up, bounce again – swap 1/2 to popa – entrance tuck by way of to double tuck, nails touchdown

Judging delay on Alipio.

Malabuyo – BB – UCLA -bhs loso, clear – aerialnto beat to korbut, very clean – break up to separate ring soar, safe, entrance leg a bit decrease – gainer full, caught. 9.925

Schulte – FX – MSU – ftdt, good chest up, small rebound – swap 1/2tompopa to straddle, good rise in popa – entrance by way of to double tuck brief, chest down, hop. 9.825

After 3: Michigan State 148.200, UCLA 147.500

UCLA goes 49.000 on beam after having to rely two semi misses, so this received’t be the most important complete. Form of the precise reverse beam rotation from final week, the place the state of the lineups each hinged on Chae’s routine. Not the perfect flooring from MSU both, however they did sufficient hitting to have the ability to lengthen the lead.

Rotation 4

Kalefe – BB – MSU – bhs bhs loso, lean correction with arms – swap, little hesitation earlier than tuck soar full – gainer full, caught. 9.750

The Kalefe household isn’t giving them the Mama Raisman content material they had been searching for.

Lee – FX – UCLA – double tuck, clean – entrance lay to entrance full, tremendous, somewhat low – swap ring to change 1/2 – double pike, pulls it out, chest down – 9.875, so appears like we’re getting wild on flooring

Tucker – BB – MSU – cat leap to aerial, retains shifting, if slowly, into bhs – hits break up soar 3/4 – cat leap to aspect aerial, chest manner down, can’t put it aside and falls – sticks gainer full

I really like when Sam form of can’t resist being judgey about beam misses. She didn’t even put her foot down!

Malabuyo – FX – UCLA – double pike, good peak, little bounce again – leaps, most likely good however horrible digicam angle – comes up below rotated on her wolf double – again 1.5 to entrance lay, somewhat low however works out the touchdown. 9.9 with one going 9.950. So brooklyn will get a 51?

Smith – BB – MSU – bhs loso, excessive, safe – beat to straddle 1/2, additionally safe, a bit tight on straddle place – full flip – actually good double tuck dismount. 9.875

McGowan – FX – UCLA – ftdt, good open place to start out, little rebound – swap aspect to popa, only a hair below rotated – again 1.5 to entrance full, lowish however pulls it out. 9.950 oh no.

Zsarmani – BB – MSU – kickover piked, retains shifting to bhs – cat leap to change aspect, big break, retains it on the beam however an enormous lean and leg nup wobble – 1.5 dmt, holds stick. 9.750 very forgiving, saves msu’s bacon there.

Moors – FX – UCLA – fro t 2/1 to entrance tuck, superb – loso aspect go – swap to change 1/2 to wolf full – rudi, retains entrance foot down, strong. Not her perfect however higher than the 9.950s which have been thrown out already. 9.975.

Schulte – BB – MSU – full flip, clean – swap to change 1/2 to beat, not unhealthy on the peak – bhs loso, safe touchdown – swap to gainer full, caught with lean ahead. 9.800

Campbell – FX – UCLA – ftdt, good management – break up full to popa, round – entrance lay to entrance full, controls her step – double tuck chest up, strong. Once more, positively higher than 9.950s we’ve seen on this rotation. One other 9.975.

Sam, don’t act just like the scores are too low. That is probably the most looney tunes rotation of the season.

Stephen – BB – MSU – aerial to 2, strong – bhs loso, excessive, safe, a little bit of knees – beat to straddle 1/2, arm wave examine – 2/1 holds the stick. 9.825

Chiles – FX – UCLA – DLO, nice touchdown – break up full to wolf full, will get them round – fro nt tuck to double tuck, controls the step as nicely. Can be stunned if this one isn’t a ten. And it’s a 10.

UCLA goes 49.800 on flooring, ending with three nice routines, however the huge overscoring of the primary three within the lineup gave us a ridiculous finish to the meet and a ridiculous rating. MSU will really feel laborious executed by this outcome. They positively obtained away with one on the Zsarmani beam rating, so perhaps don’t have that a lot righteous indignation, however had been stronger by way of the primary three rotations

FINAL: UCLA 197.300, Michigan State 197.200
