Her “planche” is stronger, I admit.

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

Hambuechen – 4 apparatus

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

(PH): 5,7 / 14,2
(SR): 6,0 / 15,433
(PB): 6,2 / 15,1
(HB): 7,5 / 16,4

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.

… Great routine. Score seems a little high. They have some kind of bonus points system — that may account for it.

Daniel Corral MEX – Olympian

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.
