Germany’s Andreas Bretschneider won the men’s all-around title at the DTB World Cup on Sunday, giving the host nation a double win after Sophie Scheder’s triumph on Saturday.

Bretschneider topped American Danell Leyva and Russia’s Nikolai Kuksenkov in a fall-filled competition that saw the lead change hands many times. The packed crowd at the Porsche Arena was firmly behind Bretschneider and Olympic star Marcel Nguyen.

BBS LIVE commentary:

… (UCLA) still expect to do better, but they also got some severe beam gifts today, and I thought floor scores were sort of fictional throughout.

UCLA pretty clearly the best team of the day after Utah’s beam, but I’m impressed how close it ended up and how close all four of the sides were. Would have loved to see how Stanford would have fared competing at the same time.
