Doha World Cup debuted on Wednesday with qualifications for all four events. A quick look at the marks indicates that the scoring was quite strict overall. It will be interesting how these results will be followed-up in the next days.
The vault final will be led by European Champ Giulia Steingruber (Rudy and a full twisting Yurchenko). On this event, Thi Ha Than from Vietnam and Teja Belak from Slovenia will make sure she will provide her good competition as they followed her closely with the 2nd an 3rd scores, only a few tenths behind.
Two Romanians (Jurca and Bulimar), two Swiss (Diacci and Kaeslin) and two French (Perdeau and Dufournet) took the first qualifying spots to the bars final. Laura Jurca from Romania is an early favorite although she qualified only a tenth ahead of France’s Lucie Perdeau.
Laura’s more experienced team mate, Diana Bulimar, has competed in only a handful of international competitions over the past two years due to a string of knee injuries. But is now back in competition at Doha and she managed to qualify to two event finals: she earned the 4th bars score and the 3rd beam score. Unfortunately on floor, a favorite event for her, she is only the 2nd reserve.
Diana debuted at Doha a new floor routine. Here is a podium training video of that routine:
2014 bronze medalist Thi Ha Thanh Phan qualified with the highest score for the beam final. Daniele Hypolito from Brazil was 2nd.
Floor was dominated by Giulia Steingruber with a very difficult routine, out of 6.0. She was followed by new Romanian senior Laura Jurca.
Apparatus Finals will take place on Thursday March 26 (17:30-18:00 MAG Floor Exercise Final,18:00-18:30, WAG Vault Final, 18:40-19:10 MAG Pommel Horse Final, 19:10-19:40 WAG Uneven Bars Final, 19:50-20:20 MAG Rings Final) and Friday March 27 (17:00-17:35 MAG Vault Final, 17:35-18:05 WAG Balance Beam Final, 18:15-18:45 MAG Parallel Bars Final, 18:45-19:15 WAG Floor Exercise Final, 19:25-19:55 MAG Horizontal Bar Final).
