That routine was featured on the Colbert Report, my favourite TV comedy.

Back to competition after injury, Fab’s Pommels are improved. And he’s perhaps stronger on Rings.

Looking forward to seeing what he brings to European Championships.
GymNiceTic:
Hambüchen says that he won`t compete at Europeans. The Euros don`t fit in his schedule as he is mainly preparing for London. So his next competition will be the national trials for the Olympics in June.

Daniel Corral MEX – Olympian
January 25th, 2012 — Gymnastics, Olympics, parallel bars
There are a number of athletes who qualified for Olympics you might question. (See the full list.) But not Daniel Corral — this guy’s the real deal. Loaded with potential. The best gymnast representing Mexico since the great Tony Pineda.
Click PLAY or watch his P Bars from Mexican Open 2011 on YouTube.
He won P Bars at the London Test Meet.
