[urara-ashikawa]

good morning gymternet i'm tumblr user urara-ashikawa here to explain why urara was left off the team and why i think that's point blank the stupidest thing JGA has done since leaving mai at home for stuttgart 2019

japan’s worlds selection procedures

the team must be composed of

the top 3 AA finishers at the NHK trophy, which combines its scores with that of the two-day total of the all-japan AA championships in order to get the final standings

a gymnast A chosen for contribution to the team total points (and must have finished within the top 10 AA at NHK)

a gymnast B chosen for contribution to the team total points (no AA requirement)

japan’s WAG team is as follows:

miyata shoko (NHK trophy winner)

kasahara arisa (NHK trophy second place)

yamada chiharu (NHK trophy third place)

sakaguchi ayaka (NHK trophy fifth place, national beam silver, floor and vault bronze medalist)

fukasawa kokoro (national uneven bars champion)

how gymnasts A and B are selected

“when combined with the three gymnasts selected through criteria 1 for a team total (the three best scores [per apparatus] among the five gymnasts), the two gymnasts (gymnasts A and B combined) who can contribute to the highest total are to be selected.”

I. the “scores” of the three gymnasts selected through criteria 1 on each apparatus are calculated by getting the average of the top 2 scores among three competitions (all-japan AA championships qualifications, finals, and the NHK trophy)

II. the “scores” of the two gymnasts selected through criterias 2 and 3 (that is, gymnasts A and B) on each apparatus are calculated by getting the average of the top 2 scores among five competitions (all-japan AA championships qualifications, finals, the NHK trophy, all-japan event championships qualifications, and finals)

here are my calculations:

as you can see here, shoko, who won NHK and as such was automatically named to the team, only hit UB on 1/3 of the days, which is why her average above (which would be one of the counted UB scores under the japanese algorithm should urara be on the team) is so low, and why kokoro, a UB specialist, got the advantage over urara.

why it is so stupid of jga to leave urara at home

she is the reigning beam world champion. no matter what kind of form she’s in at domestic championships that take place four to six months before worlds (urara only hit the two 14.1+ scores she needed to put her in contention, ended up falling at NHK, event championship QFs, and the EFs), she is still japan WAG's best chance at an individual medal

(half jokingly) anyone who can do a save like she did in kitakyushu quals deserves the benefit of the doubt tbh

shoko is clearly capable of UB scores that are above 13. had her average been 13.3 or higher (not an exact number) urara would have definitely made the team (not to mention that just a month before all-japan AA shoko’s arm was in a cast, which makes it impressive that she even won silver)

i also posted a shortened version of this explanation in a thread on twitter @ryuseisrudi but this is the more detailed version. anyway justice for urara!!! she will most definitely be an alternate for worlds so we’ll see what happens by then. feel free to ask me things!
