After 5:

1. Fred Richard - 70.726

2. Danila Leykin - 70.373

3. Shane Wiskus - 69.657

Ummm. I do not understand Shane's E score on high bar. Expect mad floor incoming.

OK NBC is explaining that they did give Fred the salute deduction. Wild. He did salute but just not DIRECTLY AT THE JUDGES ok.... Simone moment should be incoming.

Alex Nitache sticks the Yurchenko triple.

Brandon is great! Just doesn't do full difficulty and goes into 3rd.

Stephen Nedoroscik is commentating his competitors. That is wild. But he's actually quite good at it. HOLY WOW Patty Hoopes. Added the Manukyan in so that's the 6.1. So clean. That will Pass Steve

Rotation 5

COOPER KIM You Legend!!!! Wow that was incredible on high bar! Broke 15.

Shane Wiskus was money on Pbars

Asher Cohen was quite good on Rings and fought for the stick.

UM IDK how Fred stayed on horse. Also he got a -0.3 ND.... there aren't NDs on horse except general like Salute but he did salute so IDK what happened there

OU had a really really rough go on vault.

Nick Kuebler (Stanford) off on the Cassina which is a shame because he's SO good here.

After 3:

1. Fred Richard - 43.066

2. Taylor Burkhart - 41.867

3. Shane Wiskus - 41.602

4. Danila Leykin - 41.152

5. Elliott Foster - 40.800

Charlie Larson seemed like he was trying to get out of Phoenix early and few out of one of his passes. I think he's going to get his dismount downgraded.

Looks like Dante Reive (OU) is out of the meet. He's currently on crutches.

EVO has overally done pretty well on vault. Shane stuck and looked great. Kam stuck his second vault - the handspring double front. Dani's Yurchenko 2.5 was very clean.

Rotation 3

After 2:

Fred Richard - 28.308

Taylor Burkhart - 27.867

Nick Kubler - 27.805

Ellito Foster - 27.750

Shane Wiskus - 27.302

Danila Leykin (EVO) Gets through rings but hit his head on the straps. LOL he ran off and told his coach he hit his head on the straps.

David Ramirez (OSU) just locked in and looked SO good on floor.

David Shamah (Stanford) Hands down on the double front on vault.

Shane Wiskus (EVO) - BIG arm bend on rings. Step back on the landing.

Yul Moldauer (OU) Off on pommel horse.

Rotation 2

Of those doing AA:

1. Fred Richard - 14.608

2. Danila Leyken 14.302

3. Nick Kuebler - 14.255

4. Josh Karnes - 13.913

5. Zaiden Kyte - 13.200

Colt Walker (Stanford) stuci dismount. 13.750

Yul Moldauer (OU) sticks the opening pass. Some hops with the Randi and side pass. small hop back on the dismount. 13.700

Looks like Fred Richard might have been held for TV. He's in a different iteration of his uniform. It's white with a splatter paint vibe. Stuck dismount. 9.0 E feels a little generous. Very good routine but slightly out of range IMO for international scores. 14.608

Stephen Nedoroscik does make the upgraded flop sequence. Wu. Really really good form on the Magyar/Sivado. Wow. Really good way tot start the meet. 14.958
