Gymnastics World Cup Montréal – day 2

The Finals are complete.

Again the Men’s apparatus finals were competitive:


VAULT

=====

Sadly, the Women’s competition again had only a handful of competitors.

FLOOR (4 girls)
1. Mattie Larson USA 14.950
2. Charlotte Mackie CAN 14.500
3. Sydney Sawa CAN 14.300

BEAM (5 girls)
1. Mattie Larson USA 14.650
2. Marine Petit FRA 14.150
3. Charlotte Mackie CAN 14.050

Better than Day 1 but, still, you must admit that calling this competition a Women’s “World Cup” is a joke.

well, this meet was decided to be a world cup last year

they probably expected a higher attendance rate as in previous years they got Russians and such

The reason I believe is because to be considered a “world cup” competition you need a minimum of 8 athletes on each event to qualify it as such. Many of the girls that were supposed to compete got injured during training and had to withdraw from the competition.
I also believe the people in Montreal were very dissipointed that so many girls withdrew at the last moment because of injury.
