In a continuing series on the gymnastics issues blog:
I think the Russian Team as a whole will be points ahead of everyone else on this apparatus. The top 2 should be Viktoria Komova annd Anastasia Grishina. The rest of the team are also good on bars and are worthy of the bars final if one of the top 2 messes up in qualification: Anastasia Sidorova (D Score: 5.40), Maria Paseka (D Score 5.80) and Violetta Malikova (D Score: 5.90).
Although it will be close I think Komova will win ahead of Grishina but either way they are both excellent on this piece and have start values of 6.50 …
The second best routine, he feels, is Anastasia Grishina. Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
With very similar construction, the #1 pick is Viktoriya Komova (VIDEO).
