Komova FX: 1.5 thru to dbl arabian right on. triple twist 3rd pass. Landed low on her double pike but stood it up. Not her best, but thinking that will do it

Tanaka UB: shaposh+overshoot+toe shoot. jaeger. Very straight double layout. Good routine
    

Yao FX: stuck double layout. Where does this tiny girl get that power! triple twist. 1.5 thru to 2.5. Hit routine. She'll likely medal.
