GBR at Worlds

I love this team.

after 5/10 Worlds subdivisions

CHN, GBR, BRA, UKR, KOR, CAN

results

GBR looked great. Team strategy seems to be slightly lower D scores, higher E scores. Nice to watch.

A highlight was the the 88.323 put up by 18yr-old Nile Wilson who looks a future AA podium threat.

Courtney Tulloch was added to help on their weakest apparatus, Rings, and will likely qualify to the Final.

Dan Keatings and Max Whitlock are, perhaps, the strongest Pommel routines here at Worlds. But both made some errors in prelims. Neither will qualify to the Final. 😦

Watch the GBR Pommel rotation. (VIDEO)

In a bigger shocker, Max Whitlock did not qualify to the AA Final. Both Nile and Daniel Purvis 88.706 finished ahead.

GBR could replace Nile with Max. I would. But that’s not likely. The days of that happening are long gone, me thinks.
