The 15 year old, making her senior major championships debut, was outstanding competing in the first of the qualification rounds to score a personal best all-around total of 56.190 points, good enough for her to qualify for the final in third place. She will be joined in the all-around final on Friday by Claudia Fragapane who performed in her trademark high energy style to score 55.031 points placing fifth with more to offer in the final. Amy Tinkler, recently crowned British Champions in her first year at senior level also impressed with her excellent all-around performance totalling 54.958 points, however with only two gymnasts per country allowed to make finals she just missed out despite placing sixth. Reigning European bars champion Becky Downie confidently progressed through to both the bars and beam finals placing second in both, with more skills to offer in her beam routine and small improvements to her bars she will hope to be amongst the medals over the weekend. Claudia has a busy weekend ahead having qualified for the the floor, beam and vault finals whilst Ellie Downie will also compete in the vault final and in the bars alongside her older sister with Amy Tinkler making it into the floor final in third spot. That means we have two British girls in every final – the maximum possible Reaction Ellie was close to tears afterwards saying “I’m absolutely over the moon.

Both girls, competing in their first World Championships, were hampered by problems on beam early on in a competition that was won by American Simone Biles (60.212) from teammate Kyla Ross (59.332) with Russia’s Aliya Mustafina taking the bronze (58.856). The British girls were in the same group and began on the beam. Rebecca had a long wait on the podium to begin her routine, starting with round-off straight she couldn’t quite stick the landing and fell; a good double pike dismount scored her 11.966. Ruby followed up and unfortunately also had difficulties, her flick layout was out of line and she couldn't hold on and with another fall on her change ring she scored 11.066. On the floor Rebecca stepped out on the first of her explosive tumbles but fought back beautifully to perfectly stick her remaining passes ending with double pike and scoring 13.000. Ruby produced an outstanding floor routine, the huge crowd clapping her along, she landed each of her tumbles dead to score her an impressive 13.700. On vault both girls performed the double twisting Yurchenko, Rebecca landing perfectly to score 14.866 and Ruby, with a small pace back scored 13.900. Finally on bars, Rebecca Tunney started off well but couldn’t quite make it over giant half and fell, she jumped back up to finish strongly for 13.033 and a total of 52.865.
