9:35 p.m. | Shinnosuke Oka (JPN) fall on high bar
9:28 p.m. | Daiki Hashimoto (JPN) on high bar: If he hits this, he’s likely winning his fourth world all-around title. Tak full. Tak half to Kolman. Cassina. Liukin to immediate stalder. Hop 1/1. Just the dismount… Laid-out double-double, stuck, and that will do it. 14.766 – into the lead with an 85.998. No one is touching that.
9:26 p.m. | Illia Kovtun (CRO) fall on floor
9:25 p.m. | Fred Richard (USA) fall? on pommel horse: Richard doesn’t get up to handstand and kind of crumples into his dismount. 12.900.
9:24 p.m. | Arseniy Dukhno (WG2) on high bar: If he hits this, he’s likely on the podium – color of medal TBD, but the gold isn’t out of the question… and he’s off early. 11.566.

9:17 p.m. | Angel Barajas (COL) on floor: Full-twisting double layout, basically stuck. Front double full to front double tuck, hop forward… Barajas and Abbadini in sync on their flairs on floor and horse lol… 2.5 to front layout, hop forward. Double layout, very arched but stuck. 13.833.
9:15 p.m. | Start of final rotation: This is going to be close. Hashimoto has the advantage if he hits his potential on high bar, but Dukhno is only 0.101 back. The race for bronze is also tight, with Yang and Fraser both heading to floor and the likely candidates.

8:26 p.m. | Joe Fraser (GBR) takes the lead from Arseniy Dukhno (WG2): Probably not for long, but Dukhno led the first two rotations. His 12.933 on rings will see multiple athletes surpass him after three.

8:05 p.m. | Fred Richard (USA) on vault: Front handspring double front, crazy large hop almost to the end of the mat – very uncontrolled. He’s trying his hardest not to cowboy but what he gains there he may be losing in landing deductions. 13.533.
8:04 p.m. | Daniel Marinov (WG2) on vault: Kas full, single step back. Great power and fast twisting. 14.366.

7:57 p.m. | Joe Fraser (GBR) on pommel horse = 14.033 – great set for Joe to start his comp.
7:55 p.m. | Illia Kovtun (CRO) on pommel horse: Kovtun absolutely in the mix here as the reigning European champion – qualified seventh. Has a little break toward the end and then a big one as he’s going into a dismount. That disrupts his momentum and he can’t get up to handstand – fall. Repeats and it’s great. 12.466 – nearly a point lower than qualifying.
7:54 p.m. | Daiki Hashimoto (JPN) on floor: Front full to front double pike, right on the line. Full-twisting double layout, small hop. 2.5 to front layout, stuck in a wide stance. Tucked double-double, low chest and a hop forward. Double pike, hop back. 13.666.
7:52 p.m. | Fred Richard (USA) on rings = 13.566. He was engaging with the crowd before and after the routine.
7:51 p.m. | Arseniy Dukhno (WG2) on floor: Laid-out double-double, stuck. Front double full to front double tuck, hop forward. Tucked double-double, stuck. Front full to Randi, stuck. Full-twisting double layout, couple hops back. He can find the sticks so easy, but you only get the stick bonus on floor if you do it on the last pass. 14.666 – massive!
7:44 p.m. | Jake Jarman (GBR) on floor: Clean exercise. Seemed to go one foot out of bounds at one point, but that was the biggest thing. Found some sticks but didn’t find others. 13.933 – couple tenths lower than qualifying.
7:42 p.m. | Shinnosuke Oka (JPN) on floor = 13.966 – improvement over qualifying.
7:41 p.m. | Danila Leykin (USA) on high bar: This is the start of a redemption opportunity for Leykin. Cassina. Pegan, catches it. Kolman – didn’t connect the two like he can. Hop 1.5. Tak full, solid. Tak half. Hop 1/1. Small hop on the dismount. 13.466.
