Japan takes command as Oka leads all-around qualification after the fourth subdivision at Rotterdam Worlds

Oka Shinnosuke leads the way for Japan on opening day of Artistic Gymnastics Worlds

Results after 2/3rds of the competition complete:

TEAM

1. Japan
2. Great Britain
3. WG2

USA sitting 4th after quite a rough day of qualification.

I was impressed with host Netherlands (5th) and breakout nation Colombia (6th).

France (7th) was good, too. Canada (8th) had a disappointing day.

I don’t think China can challenge Japan in the Team Final with Zhang Boheng injured. Japan has no weaknesses. Rings is the weakest apparatus, and they are 2nd as a team so far behind GBR.

All-around

1. Oka Shinnosuke
2. Hashimoto Daiki
3. Dukhno Arsenii

Many of the top guys had one or two errors in qualifying. They’ll all be trying to hit 6 / 6 perfectly in the AA Final.

Floor

1. Dukhno Arsenii
2. Richard Frederick (amazing landings)
3. Jarman Jake (monster difficulty)

Kam Nelson did a huge routine, as well, with Triple Pike and Triple Tuck. But had many landing deductions. He won’t be in the Final.

Pommels

1. Manukyan Hamlet
2. Khachatryan Mamikon
3. Hoopes Patrick

Some of the other top contenders had minor deductions probably keeping them out of the Final: Carroll Jordan, Lee Chih-Kai, McClenaghan Rhys.

Rhys might still sneak in.

Rings

1. Zaika Ilia
2. Tulloch Courtney (stuck Triple Tuck)
3. Avetisyan Artur

Perhaps the weakest final as many of the top guys in the world didn’t make it to Rotterdam.

Legend Petrounias Eleftherios sitting 6th, so far.

Vault

1. Jarman Jake
2. Davtyan Artur
3. Chepurnyi Nazar

Dukhno Arsenii 4th.

P Bars

1. Kovtun Illia
2. Oka Shinnosuke
3. Hashimoto Daiki

H Bar

1. Kawakami Shohei
2. Tang Chia-Hung (with a slightly easier routine)
3. Oka Shinnosuke

Moore Jesse sitting 4th. I’m still waiting for Jesse to put together a perfect AA meet. He’s one of the most underrated gymnasts in the world.
