Summary
- The Pan-American Championships saw the US women win team gold alongside a stellar performance from the Mexican women's team that earned silver
- We continue gushing about Mexico's meet (the vault difficulty! the dramatic bars! the leap completion!) and assess how they would have stacked up at worlds last year
- Which fan favorites qualified to worlds as individuals, which didn't, and what was most surprising about this weekend's race to keep Olympic hopes alive
- Event titles for Alexa Moreno, Nola Matthews, Tiana Sumanasekera, and Josc Roberson, and a special shout-out to everyone who is doing a double front at 30.
- At African Championships, Kaylia Nemour made all our dreams come true, Sandra Elsadek qualified to worlds, and South Africa turned the tables on Egypt
- Qiu Qiyuan continued to be the star of Chinese Nationals, with titles in the AA and on bars and beam, and Ou Yushan took silver with the whip, whip, 3/1 that dreams are made of
- Plus, Shang Chunsong putting all those young whippersnappers to shame, exciting work on bars from Huang Zhuofan and beam from Zhang Qingying, and we wonder whether it's time to start panicking about the state of China's vaulting
