Coach Sommer:
Negative Maltese Board Presses (NMBP) are an excellent introductory exercise for those ready to begin maltese work on the rings. Note that the elbows are supported during the entire exercise …

Says Andres Montoya:
Jordan Jovtchev’s competed something like 15 Olympics and 37 World Championships. Something like that. 
Here’s Jotchov’s excellent Ring Strength Training VIDEO.

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.

Love brought former Olympic gymnast Robert Stanescu to Windsor.
A member of Romania’s national team, the 27-year-old made the finals in the rings at the Beijing Olympics where he finished seventh.
The next year, he came within a whisker of reaching the podium at the world championships, finishing fourth by one-tenth of a mark.
Later in 2009, Stanescu joined his university sweetheart, Ruxandra in Windsor.
Now married, both coach gymnastics at Winstars.
Ruxandra works with the competitive girls and Robert trains the boys. …

Gym owner Carey Vigneux thinks Robert could compete for Canada, one day. He’s still in great shape.

Ron Noe:
… I would say the past few weeks have been pretty good for Mr. Brooks. His performances at American Cup and PacRim have demonstrated that he is healthy and getting a lot closer to his Olympic dream. Brooks’ improving skills on PH and SR are making people take notice. …
Ono and Clinton are not completely convinced that those routines are strong enough for top 3. Certainly the scores are too high, relative to what they would have scored at Worlds.
On the other hand, consistency over a long series of pressure situations may end up deciding the Team. I like his chances.
If you had Leyva, Orozco and Brooks … who else do you need to have 3 strong routines on each apparatus?
