There’s almost always more drama in the Men’s competition than Women’s.
First flight of #Glasgow2015 competition featured the home team, a squad I’d predicted will finish top 3 in Team. Here’s the AA result (so far).
1. Dan Purvis (GBR) 88.956
Dan and Kohei are the two cleanest/consistent gymnasts in the sport today.
2T. Max Whitlock (GBR) 88.365
2T. Nile Wilson (GBR) 88.365
4. Oyakawa Mariano Arthur (BRA) 88.182
5. de Souza Bitencourt Lucas (BRA) 88.182
6. Campos Souza Caio (BRA) 84.831
Max will go through to the AA final with Dan. The tie-breaker is total “top 5 best routines”. Nile Wilson will sit (as he did last year due to wrist injury).
Brazil is counting every tenth. They’d love to finish top 8. Qualify directly to Rio with a full team.
