The veteran looked great tonight. He easily won the all-around in a competition where the guys were trying the maximum start scores on their best apparatus. (25 competitors)
1. 85.30 Nathan Gafuik AB
2. 83.75 Jayd Lukenchuk SK
3. 81.95 Robert Watson BC
4. 80.55 Anderson Loran SK
5. 79.75 Tariq Dowers ON
6. 79.00 Hugh Smith NS
Talk is that Nate will be awarded the sole Men’s Olympic spot for Canada.
His 7.1 start on H Bar scored 15.30. That would rank him higher than any other Canadian man on any apparatus.
Nate was 17th AA in Beijing. And took the Bronze medal at FISU 2011 with a 60+ score.
… Still, there are several World Cup meets left where Canadian men can try to top Nathan’s ranking on Horizontal Bar. Nothing’s been decided yet. Good luck to the rest of the guys at those events.
Hugh Smith is the first Canadian to compete Tsukahara with 3/1 twist (7.0) … but fell on landing. He was trying to make a claim on the Olympic berth.
Scott Morgan won Floor 6.2 / 14.30 and Rings 6.5 / 13.80
Ken Ikeda won Pommels 6.0 / 14.65
Nate won Vault, P Bars and Horizontal Bar. But Jayd had a 6.90 start on pipe. Anderson and Jackson Payne a 6.80.
