World Age Games - Day One Qualifications...

Session 1
11-16 Women's Pairs (BALANCE)

11-16 Women's Groups (DYNAMIC)

After their first routine, the 11-16 Women’s Group from Spelthorne - Burgon, Matthews and Seabourne, shot past the already impressive Polish group with a score of 28.150. Their energetic and cleanly performed routine impressed the judges enough to give them the top score of the first session. The Brits continued to lead until the Russian group took to the floor after the break, giving the audience and judges an immaculate, near non deductable routine, scoring 28.600. In the 11-16 Women's Pairs competition, no one seemed to be able to catch the almost robotic Russian partnership of Samarina and Vikhryanova with their impressive opening score of 28.850. The GBR partnership of Cook and Stephens made slight errors in their routine, costing them a 1.2 penalty score, taking their overall balance score to 26.450 with 8.9 for Execution and 8.75 for artistry for their remixed pink panther routine, putting them in 5th place after their performance with 13 remaining. Both American pairs delivered strong performances, as did the Polish pair, Bialas and Chelbisz. A strong field followed the British partnership with the French and Israeli teams both looking strong in the balance routine. The Russian partnerships in both disciplines continue to define and dominate the 11-16 competition with their clean and precise routines polished off with excellent execution. Great Britain also showed their strength, with the Women's group holding on to second place after the dynamic routine. The British pair is currently in 15th place, with the dynamic qualification tomorrow for the ladies from Deerness Valley.
