RECAP: Subdivision II (Italy over Australia)
Italy and Australia headlined the second subdivision, both coming in with hopes of advancing to the team final.
The Aussies began with a solid start on floor. Leadoff Emily Little stuck a piked full-in to mount, but touched her hands on a double pike dismount. Larrissa Miller got things back on track, showing a pretty knees-together double arabian. Then Ashleigh Brennan (14.2; full-in immediate split jump) and 2010 World Floor Champ Lauren Mitchell finished with a flourish. Mitchell had a slight bobble on landing her piked full-in, but nailed the whip to double arabian pass she struggled with in podium training.
On vault, Australia was led by Little, who nailed a big double-twisting Yurchenko (14.766). The Aussies hit bars, but struggled to post high scores. Larrissa Miller anchored (inbar stalder 1/2 to Jaeger; stuck dismount) and put up a 14.025.
Australia ended on beam and had to count a fall to end their day. Georgia Bonora hit all of her skills, but tumbled off on a side aerial. Brennan seemed to right the ship, but came up short on her double pike dismount. Lauren Mitchell soldiered through her routine and stayed on, despite wobbles (14.3).
Italy started well on uneven bars, led by Vanessa Ferrari's 14.233. The Italians showed aggressive routines on beam, again highlighted by Ferrari (14.433) as well as Carlotta Ferlito (14.425). Elisabetta Preziosa had a gorgeous routine going, but fell on her double back dismount.
Ferrari shined on floor exercise, where she hit one of her finest routines to date, mounting with a tucked double-double and tagging a back tuck onto the end of her full-in second pass (14.9!) Carlotta Ferlito (13.9) and Erika Fasana (14.033) also put up good routines for Italy.
Italy finished up on vault, with some loose form in their Yurchenkos. Ferrari (14.366) again led the way.
For individuals, Giulia Steingruber (SUI) was off line on her Rudi vault and then suffered disaster on her Tsuk double full (13.924 average) putting her event finals bid in jeopardy.
Ukrainian talent Nataliya Kononenko showed an interesting bar routine, and unfortunately fell on her Tkatchev 1/2-Jaeger combination.
Poland's Marta Pihan-Kulesza was entertaining on floor exercise (14.333) and also scored well on uneven bars (14.033).

RECAP: Subdivision I
Yamilet Peña sits her handspring double front, but her feet hit the mat first. She scored 14.933. She then landed a decent double-twisting Yurchenko to average 14.699. That score will likely advance her to finals.
Vasiliki Millousi (GRE) and Ana Sofia Gomez Porras (GUA) both hit lovely beam routines, and both stumbled on dismount landings. Millousi earned a 14.366 and Gomez Porras a 14.333.
Mexico's Elsa Garcia did not compete all around. After warming up a double-twisting Yurchenko, she mysteriously scratched vault and bars. She gave a shaky beam performance before hitting her floor routine for 13.733
Brazil struggled throughout, failing to break 13.0 on uneven bars. Veteran Daniele Hypolito looked off, putting her hands down on a double pike on floor and also stumbling on her Yurchenko 1 1/2 vault. She hit a solid beam routine in the final rotation, however , sticking her double pike dismount (14.166).
Daiane dos Santos tumbled a high full-twisting double layout, earning a score of 14.166.
