My predictions for the podium….
- Aliya Mustafina
- Kyla Ross
- Rebecca Downie
The Chinese are without a doubt the leaders. But I just have a feeling they will both fall. I hope not!!! I think Aliya will pull an Aliya… come out super fierce for finals. But this one is pretty wide open. If Yao Jinnan hits, she will win it.
Here were their routines in qualifications:
1 YAO Jinnan CHN 6.700 (D) + 8.733 (E) = 15.433
