Gold - Huang Huidan CHN
Silver - Kyla Ross USA
Bronze - Aliya Mustafina RUS
Yao Jinnan of China was first up for the bars final. Since I wanted the 2 Americans and Aliya to medal in this final, I was really nervous that Yao would take the gold with her Mo. Unfortunately, she fell on the skill during finals, ending up with a score of 14.633.
Huang Huidan also from China came next. She had a wonderful routine and stuck the landing cold! Huge score -- 15.400!! I knew that would be extremely hard to beat, but I thought they were pretty generous with that score.
Becky Downie was next up for Great Britain. I'm very disappointed that she had a fall during her routine because her routine was actually one of my favorites of the final. She had lots of exciting release moves and it was a shame to see her fall.
Sophie Scheder was next. Ultimately clean routine -- 14.633.
Next was Simone Biles from the United States. For this being Simone's "weakest" event, she has steadily improved. It was a great routine and had her thinking about a medal possibility at that point with a score of 14.716.
Kyla Ross's routine was gorgeous and flawless as usual, with her normal stuck landing!! I though it was definitely as good as Huidan's but the score was 15.266.
My girl Aliya Mustafina was up next. Her bars routines are ALWAYS amazing to watch, but during finals she missed a connection when she was supposed to go immediately from the low bar to a shaposh to the high bar, and unfortunately it cost her the gold because her SV was lowered by .2 -- 15.033
Ruby Harrold was last. She had an exciting routine with lots of different skills, but SV was a bit lower than the others.
