8:33 - Kayla, the current leader, will be 4th up. She's rockin' the old flame leo - you go girl!

8:34 - What's with all the sleveless leos? Not a fan.

8:35 - Myzdrikova of Russia will be first. Nice 1/2 on... uh, something off. 14.275 for the first vault. Sloppy yurkchenko double, stepped out of the corridor, so there will be a penalty. 2'd vault - 14.1. Average -14.225

8:40 - Kaeslin vault one - very nice front layout 1 1/2. Very close to stepping out, but she saved it. Score: 15.075.
