There were a lot of falls and mistakes in this very important meet. Hopefully Day 2 will be better.

The top 42 gymnasts, according to the Men’s Program Committee’s points ranking system, will advance to the final competition, along with the top three gymnasts on each apparatus. The all-around and individual event champions will be determined via a combined two-day score.

Nemov master-class Club visits

Alexei Nemov has been in the news. Unhappy with parking activists in Russia.

In more interesting news, Nemov and other former Russian greats each year travel to clubs around the nation.

The first master-class of Alexei Nemov was held in Moscow in October 2013. This event has become an annual event. Gymnasts travel to many different Russian cities in order to share their experiences with young athletes. Olympians visited Chita, Togliatti, Samara, Kazan, etc. About 5000 young gymnasts were able to visit such master-classes and talk to the Champions. …
