40th WOMEN's WORLDS - The FINALS
 |
|
Simone BILES, the unbeatable! |
* WOMEN's ALL-AROUND FINAL
Glorious expected start-finish Victory for Simone BILES (USA), who won her 5th World Championships all-around title and thus her 16th Worlds gold confidently at the AA-Final final in Stuttgart today. With a dream score of 58,999 never reached at world championships, she defeated China's TANG, Xijing (56,899) in the silver Rank with a 2-point advantage. For Russia's European Champion Angelina MELNIKOVA (56,399) remained the bronze medal. Behind the vice-world champion of 2017, the Canadian Elsabeth Black and last year's fourth Nina DERWAEL (BEL), Germany's record champion Elisabeth SEITZ finished sixth in the best competition of her career (55,999) - the best since 1987 (Dörthe Thümmler in Rotterdam) WCh all-around placement by a German gymnast; and with Germany's Champion Sarah VOSS in 10th position, the German gymnasts again brought two female athletes to the top ten in the world after 2017 !!
Nothing seems clearer than the USA's fifth US victory since 2011 in the team final of this 40th Women's Worlds in continuous row!
Topping the Russian Federation and Italy, Simone Biles led the U.S. women to their 5th consecutive world team title as the first medals were awarded at the 2019 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Stuttgart (GER).
The top eight teams from qualification - the U.S., People's Republic of China, Russian Federation, France, Canada, Netherlands, Great Britain, and Italy — advanced to the team final at Hanns-Martin-Schleyer Hall. In the team final, three gymnasts per country competed on each apparatus with all scores counting toward the team total.
For the pursuit nation CHINA, the US girls already had a +5-point difference in qualifying. However, the fight for silver seems to be still open between the 2018 bronze medallist China and vice-worldchampion Russia. In contrast to the qualification, all three gymnasts per nation and per apparatus go into the evaluation, so that the daily form plays a decisive role and provides suspense. Errors in this rating mode are almost unforgivable!
In the previous year Germany still ranked on 8th place, but had missed this time on ninth place this team final bit consoled itself by winning the Olympic ticket among the 12 nations eligible to start in Tokyo 2020 ...

Simone BILES unstoppable in Stuttgart
Biles, who last year became the first female gymnast to win the world All-around title four times, led from start to finish on Thursday at Hanns-Martin-Schleyer Hall. The 22-year-old Texan tallied 58.999, more than 2 points ahead of the silver medallist, with the top scores on Vault (15.233), Balance Beam (14.633), and Floor Exercise (14.400), and the third-best score on Uneven Bars (14.733), where she dismounted with a neatly done double-twisting double back. Needing a score in the low 12s on Floor to clinch her fifth title, Biles bounced out of bounds several times but soared on her tumbling, including her new triple-twisting double tuck mount.
Biles found it difficult to compare the five All-around titles that she has won since 2013.
With 22 world medals to her name, including a record 15 gold, Biles is within reach in Stuttgart of breaking the all-time record of 23 won by Vitaly Scherbo (URS/BLR) from 1991-96. Biles, who qualified to all the women's apparatus finals, has four more opportunities to take medals in Stuttgart. The world All-around title is the seventh consecutive for the U.S. women, who have won every year since 2011.

TANG, Xijing takes advantage of opportunity
Tang, 16, was a substitute for teammate Liu Tingting, who on Wednesday withdrew from the All-around final. Competing in her first world championships, Tang hit four events cleanly, with her top scores on Uneven Bars (14.566) and Balance Beam (14.600). On Beam, where she fell twice in qualification, Tang tallied the second-best score behind Biles, impressing with a layout stepout mount and round-off two-foot layout. Needing a hit routine to stay ahead of Melnikova on Floor Exercise, Tan delivered once again, tumbling a tricky triple twist-punch front combination for a 13.600. It is the first world medal for the Chinese women in the All-around since Yao Jinnan won bronze in 2011, and matches the best result, silver, won by Jiang Yuyuan in 2010.
Angelina MELNIKOVA wins first individual world medal
In her third world championships, Russian champion Melnikova, 19, finally captured her first individual medal, taking bronze behind Biles and Tang. After a strong start on Vault, Melnikova's hand grip came loose on Uneven Bars, where she lost valuable points after a missed combination and other small errors, including grazing the mat with her feet, to drop her score to 13.900. But the 2016 Olympian rebounded to score 14.000 on Balance Beam, where she performed with newfound confidence. After hitting two big tumbling passes on Floor Exercise (full-twisting double layout and double layout), Melnikova scored 14.066, enough to win bronze, 0.5 behind Tang.
Melnikova was happy for her improvement on Balance Beam, earning the highest Execution score on the event so far at these world championships (8.600), and said she was confident going into her final routine on Floor Exercise. It is the first world medal for the Russian women in the All-around since Elena Eremina won bronze in 2017.
Ellie BLACK injured en route to fourth
Two-time Olympian Elsabeth Black (CAN), the silver medallist in 2017, finished fourth, less than 0.2 behind Melnikova, but suffered a high ankle sprain after landing a layout Rudi on Vault in the final rotation.
Nina Derwael (BEL), the world champion on Uneven Bars, had the best mark on that apparatus (15.200) and was in the hunt for a medal through three events. She fell to fifth after her vault, a full-twisting Yurchenko, scored just 13.600.
Elisabeth Seitz (GER) delighted the home crowd with her sixth place, ahead of Flavia Saraiva (BRA). Sunisa Lee, a member of the gold medal-winning U.S. team in Stuttgart, fell off Uneven Bars on her Pak salto to place seventh.
Other medal contenders also succumbed to mistakes in the final. Giorga Villa (ITA), 16th, fell off on her wolf turn on Balance Beam and Melanie de Jesus dos Santos (FRA), 20th, suffered two falls on Uneven Bars.

and the > List of Qualifiers
The U.S. women bested runner-up Russia by nearly 6 points, with Biles competing all four events. The Olympic champion scored more than 0.3 higher than she had in qualification in Stuttgart. She posted the two highest scores of the competition with 15.400 on Vault in the first rotation (Cheng with a small hop) and 15.333 on Floor Exercise, where she perfectly executed her new tumbling pass, the triple-twisting double tuck. The U.S. earned the highest team total on Vault, Balance Beam, and Floor Exercise.
Silver medallists in 2018 and at the 2016 Olympic Games, the Russians retained its familiar place behind their U.S. rivals. 2016 Olympian Angelina Melnikova performed consistently on all four events to pace her team. Former world champion Daria Spiridonova contributed the top score of the day for her team with her 14.766 on Uneven Bars. Like the U.S., the Russians hit 10 of 12 routines, suffering falls from Anastasia Agafonova and Lilia Akhaimova on Balance Beam in the second rotation. The team trailed Italy going into the final rotation, but three solid vaults, including a layout Rudi from Akhaimova that brought 14.733, were enough for silver.
ITALY makes history with bronze
Just eighth in qualification, an inspired Italian team turned in the most consistent performance of the day to win bronze, nearly 70 years after their only world team medal, bronze at the 1950 World Championships in Basel (SUI). A quartet of first-year seniors — Giorgia Villa, twins Alice and Asia D'Amato, and Elisa Iorio — all competing in their first world championships made up the core of the Italian team, contributing 11 of the team's 12 routines. Desiree Carofiglio, 19, performed on Floor Exercise. While their rivals succumbed to the pressure, the Italians moved from event to event with hit performances. Villa, a triple gold medallist at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games, competed like a steely veteran, saving a handstand on Uneven Bars after a pirouette nearly went awry.
Costla mistakes drop China
Second to the U.S. in qualification, the People's Republic of China was unable to defend its team bronze from 2018 after major mistakes routines from its most experienced gymnast, Liu Tingting. Liu fell twice from Uneven Bars in the second rotation, coming off the bar both times on her elgrip pirouettes. She dropped off Balance Beam, where she is the defending world champion. The team finished just over half a point behind Italy.
