Busy at the Canadian Championships, I’ve not had time to follow Men’s Europeans. But I had time to watch THIS.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Reminiscent of Paul Hamm in the 2004 Olympics debacle.

We’re on the road at 4:30am, headed up to visit our friends in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan for their year-end FUN meet.
A few of the FUN rules for this competition:
• Gymnasts are expected to be LOUD and cheer
• optional suits, shorts allowed
• use any mat on any event at anytime
• after Vault, show a progression into a different vault for a .5 bonus (on stacked mats)
• after Beam, show any additional dance or acro elements (FIG B +) on a Floor Beam for bonus
• after Floor, show an acro (B+) skill into pit (with mats at height) or an additional Dance (C+) element for half of the value of the skill

Thanks Mike.

Our Team Saskatchewan had a good Western Canadian Championships.
But the girls at my club concede that Team Alberta danced the most at the “Beat Board Bash”.
Alberta wins the Dance.

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.

At Gymnastics Adventure in Saskatchewan, kids looking for their clothes that have been left “lying around” sometimes find their missing duds hung from the top of the rope.
This is a REMINDER to put clothing away in the first place. AND is good exercise.

Note the plastic cutlery. That’s to dissuade armed attack.
Reminds me of Marta’s camp before the 1979 World Championships.
Update. This post is a joke, folks. The food at camp is pretty substantial, if predictable.
