at Worlds for OTHER nations …

My man Bobby Kriangkum from Edmonton, Canada is in Tokyo competing for Thailand.

Good luck.

There are many others doing the same thing.

… U.S. collegiate gymnasts have made the trek to compete at the Tokyo World Championships.

Thanks to @CalMensGym for linking to a story about Christian and Jean Monteclaro. The Cal juniors will be competing for the Philippines, accompanied by Bryan Del Castillo, who will be their coach.

Representing Bangladesh will be Michigan All-Big 10 senior Syque Caesar. We hope to get some updates from Caesar, detailing his experience. No doubt he’ll be sending out some tweets. …

Stick It Media

Personally, I think it’s great to see athletes training in more developed nations compete for their homeland. It should raise the level of gymnastics worldwide.

Yesterday I bumped into an old friend from Sri Lanka. Good news there. The guys are improving rapidly, the sport growing, in part due to the FIG Academy courses.

There are fantastic male gymnasts from all over the world. The level of difficulty is insane. Even the weakest gymnasts at Worlds 2011 could have qualified for Olympic Finals in 1984.
