World Championships: Women's Team Final

The US women won their sixth consecutive world team title, a record.  The US team included UCLA's Jordan Chiles, Oregon State's Jade Carey, Florida's Leanne Wong, Florida commit Skye Blakely and Florida commit Shilese Jones.  Canada won a historic bronze medal, upsetting an error-prone field of favored team medalists.  That squad featured Nebraska's Emma Spence, former CMU star Denelle Pedrick and Iowa commit Sydney Turner (corrected).  Great Britain won a historic silver and all three teams punched their tickets to Paris in 2024.

Stanford frosh Asher Hong and teammate Brody Malone, a fifth year senior, led the US to a third place finish in the qualifying round at the 2022 World Championships.  Hong qualified for the AA final in 6th position while Malone qualified in 8th.  He also qualified to the HB final.  Former PSU star and defending World Champion Stephen Nedoroscik was 2nd in PH qualifying.  Stanford's Colt Walker also contributed to the team qualifying effort.  The fifth American, Donnell Whittenburg made the Rings final.  

The World Championships kicked off this weekend with the Women's Qualifying rounds on Saturday and Sunday.  The US qualified to the team final in first, led by Florida commit's Shilese Jones' 2nd place AA finish.  She also qualified for the UB final and is the first reserve on BB.  Oregon State's Jade Carey was the 3rd AA qualifier, and leads the field on VT.  She also qualified to the FX final.  UCLA's Jordan Chiles was 12th AA (non qualifying due to the two per country rule and some two falls on BB) but qualified to the finals on VT and FX.  Florida commit Skye Blakely qualified to the BB final in 2nd position.  Florida's Leanne Wong competed on the VT, placing 9th.   Brazil's Rebecca Andrade was first in the AA and qualified to the finals on UB, BB and FX.  She shockingly missed the VT final, where she is favored, due a miss on her Yurchenko entry.
