7:39 US needs to score 39.916 on FX to catch Russia. That's a 13.3 average. @nrarmour
7:37 Russia has silver unless USA has huge problems. They won't go below that, though. @BTOgymblog
7:35 I'm liking Komova for Olympic champion. These setbacks at her first Worlds might MOTIVATE more serious training leading up to London. @GymCoaching
7:33 Agreed // RT @icoachgymnastix: Komova psychologically out after beam. Not fighting after stumbling back after first pass. @Double_Front
7:32 Big stumble for Komova on double arabian mount on FX @Double_Front

7:21 Ponor is doing a nice routine on floor starting with a quad turn to a popa and a nice double layout. @USAGym

7:13 A 15.033 for Wieber gives US 135.413 points. Your turn, Russia. @nrarmour

7:09 A 14.866 for @Aly_Raisman @nrarmour
7:08 Aly Raisman is a machine--completely unfazed by the pressure. Super solid beam routine. Only two tiny wobbles and a small step on dismount @Double_Front

6:52 So that gives US 90.681. Russia with 89.197. @Nrarmour
6:51 And that why Gabby Douglas on US team. Toe-on full on into pirouette Tkatchev and connected immediately to Pak salto on low bar. Uh, huge. @nrarmour
