NCAA Men at #WChAntwerp

Many, including me, doubted that the Americans would score as well as they did in Antwerp. Nor have much of a chance for medals.

Apologies.

The U.S. Men looked GREAT.

Final Worlds medal count:

JPN 7
USA 4 … NCAA trained = 3
GBR 2
GER 2
CHN 1

Floor 2nd. Jacob Dalton 6.700 + 8.900 = 15.600

Rings 3rd. Brandon Wynn 6.700 + 8.966 = 15.666

Vault 2nd. Steven Legendre 15.249 Final

Tamayo a little suspect that time. … What’s the value of “Biles?” 🙂

Click PLAY or watch a post-Rings interview with Brandon on Gymnastike.

The judging panel decided his L-cross press to inverted cross was piked in the Final. Layout in prelims. Thus the 0.1 difference in start value.

John Orozco, who trains at the USOTC was 3rd on P Bars. (15.533)

AND for most of the competition it seemed destiny that Michigan’s Samuel Mikulak would finish 2nd AA. One mistake dropped him to 6th.
