And her switch ring was also great

[@sawyer7191]

Soooo improved!!!

[@tambam6744]

Agreed. I would actually credit it!

[@Appaddict01]

I guess, Nastia wasn’t lying and it was just nerves in competition.

[@colesmith7509]

@@Appaddict01 That's how it is with most people that don't get credited for switch rings now. They could easily reach the position, but it's risky in competition

[@liceous]

i'm crying. so proud of konnor, she has had so many setbacks, and managed to give us peak konnor mcclain jaw dropping layout perfect form stunning dismount

[@stephaniecline7648]

That was so elegant and solid! She's the 'lightest' looking beam worker I've seen in ages but still has the difficulty to put up huge scores.

[@melissawingfield8666]

That was excellent! I hope she does that well on Day 2! Congratulations to her!

World class! She has some abilities that can not be taught. She can make and then hide little corrections in the moment like Laurie Hernandez can. Her upper body positions in leaps are peerless. I could go on and on. Such a beamer!

[@jocelynwilson]

So beautiful and no wolf turns in sight!

easily her best routine yet, stunning form and almost every skill was spot on

that fulkl backwards pass was amazing and beyond difficult to pull off. it's like blind beam work.

[@cleversonhenrich1661]

eu sempre volto aqui . amo essa rotina

[@emanuelrosendo2077]

8,400 domestically is acceptable because they do it to gain notoriety in the world rankings. But I calculated 8,100, I think that would be a fair score in a Worlds. Anyway 14,500 would be an amazing score!!

[@tambam6744]

I got around the same. 8.2-ish execution.

[@rafaelteixeira7961]

But her reversion + split would not get the CV credited (took long and she lost posture before connecting)

[@emanuelrosendo2077]

@@rafaelteixeira7961 Yes, I noticed that too by watching it again. And I also do not made artistic deductions... so I think at the Worlds that 8,400 would be reduced to 7,900.

[@rafaelteixeira7961]

@@emanuelrosendo2077 that would give a 6,2 7,9 for 14,1. Around rebeca, a little behind the Chinese and flavia

[@emanuelrosendo2077]

@@rafaelteixeira7961 The beam scores at the Worlds will be a mystery. I remember in 2017 everyone who scored 7,5 ~ 8,0 in World Cups ended up getting up to 6,5 ~ 7,0 without falls at Worlds.

[@gymnasmic7425]

Was she credited the front aerial plus jump series?

[@gymnasmic7425]

I stopped being lazy and calculated it. I got a 6.4 so she did get the connection. Domestic judging is awesome

[@ThePrintMajesty]

I noticed she took out the back tuck after her leap series, had she kept it in would she have gotten any CV on that? other than that this was amazing

[@gym_fan9046]

Slayyyy

[@hannah_rad5220]

So so happy for her and she's come such a long way - but for me she still needs to get rid of those long pauses before her skills, worlds judges will hammer her for them

Amazing. Nastia it's funny I just watched a video earlier that had little Miss Drew East at Flip Fest wearing two different leotards you sent her and now here you are reporting on gymnastics.

Side aerial near the end of the performance.

[@beautitudes]

great gymnastics but are we gonna continue to disregard Wogas abusive techniques and Valeris just for medals. The old way of medals over gymnastics is done.

[@gymstyle5091]

About 4 tenths too high thanks for US scoring but certainly one of her better routines. That one connection she missed

[@tambam6744]

4 tenths? Nah. More like 2. And this is easily her best routine thus far, with better ones in the future. We know you and that LaLaReal bitch don’t like Konnor. Pls gtfo.

[@copper0]

Meh. Sadly it will not score well internationally. She’s clearly missing the required skills from Group XII “Unnecessary Boob Thrusting”. I’d have to go back and watch again, but I also think she’s also missing three skills from Group XIII “Pointless Karate Chops”. Clearly a fail.

[@Appaddict01]

Lol...Not going to score well internationally.
