Worlds – Zonderland 2nd on H Bar

Oh, no.

What a shame.

The biggest story in the Netherlands … didn’t happen. Local boy made good only came 2nd when the final competitor, long Zhang from China, nudged him off the top of the podium.

1 ZHANG Chenglong CHN 16.166
2 ZONDERLAND Epke NED 16.033
3 HAMBUECHEN F. GER 15.966
4 BOY Philipp GER 15.833
5 LEYVA Danell USA 15.666
6 BROOKS C. USA 15.383
7 FENG Zhe CHN 15.166
8 UEMATSU Koji JPN 14.000

Zhang is terrific. But I felt Boy, who finished 4th, had the most impressive routine, if not the highest scoring.

UEMATSU was the second most impressive, perhaps. But he fell.

I’ve got to post ALL these routines. A thrilling finale to Worlds.
