Slowly catching up on everything Gymnastics! Jazmyn Foberg of MG Elite-Monmouth Gymnastics Academy topped the Junior Women's All Around standings on the first day of competition at the P&G Championships on Thursday. Emily Gaskins of Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy and Nia Dennis of Buckeye Gymnastics rounded out the top three. Dennis was the top scorer on the Vault, whilst Norah Flatley of Chow's Gymnastics and Dance Institute was the high scorer on the Uneven Bars. Gaskins and Alexis Vasquez (Chow's Gymnastics and Dance Institute) tied for the high mark on the Balance Beam with Dennis, Ragan Smith (Texas Dreams Gymnastics) and Victoria Nguyen (Chow's Gymnastics and Dance Institute) all tying for the top mark on the Floor Exercise. Rachel Baumann of WOGA Gymnastics did not compete.

DAY ONE RESULTS:

I came onto the Live Streaming of the Senior Men's first day of competition at the halfway point of the competition. Dylan Akers of the University of Oklahoma who was scheduled to compete withdrew. John Orozco of the U.S. Olympic Training Center/Team Hilton HHonors leads the All Around standings after night one over Jacob Dalton (University of Oklahoma/Team Hilton Honors) and Danell Leyva (Universal Gymnastics/Hilton HHonors). Samuel Mikulak (University of Michigan/Team Hilton HHonors) worked his way back after a rough start to current stand in fifth in the All Around. Orozco top scored on the Parallel Bars and tied for the top score on the Horizontal Bar alongside Danell Leyva. Dalton received top marks on the Floor Exercise whilst Mikulak was the top scorer on the Pommel Horse. C.J. Maestas (University of Illinois-Champaign) and Brandon Wynn (U.S. Olympic Training Center/Team Hilton HHonors) tied for the top mark on the Still Rings, with the Vault top mark achieved by Donnell Whittenburg (U.S. Olympic Training Center/Team Hilton HHonors).

And it's go time. The first day of Senior Women's competition at the 2014 P&G National Championships in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am loving the leotards in this rather smallish field. Most of them we saw at the 2014 Secret U.S. Classic but I am not fussed they are still stunning! The Great American Gymnastics Express leotards are currently my favourite - loving them!! Solid routine from Madison Desch to start. Solid Beam routine for Skinner. Sensational routine on Bars - packed with difficulty for Brenna Dowell. I am super excited to see Veronica Hults competing here this weekend. Same goes with Amelia Hundley. Ashton Locklear's Bars routine is gorgeous. After the first rotation, Locklear (who is only competing two events) leads over Biles and Dowell (who is only doing one event). Oh no Kyla Ross sits down in a deep squat on her first tumbling pass. At the halfway mark Biles leads over Locklear and Madison Kocian (both Locklear's and Kocian's competition has been completed for the day). Headed into the final rotation, Simone Biles leads over MyKayla Skinner and Kyla Ross. From my point of view it looked like Kyla was short on some of her handstands - wow 13.950 for Ross. Maggie Nichols and Alyssa Baumann are above her in the standings! Superb routine for Biles. And at the conclusion of the first day of competition, Biles leads over Maggie Nichols and Alyssa Baumann. Ross is in fourth and Skinner in fifth.
