He’s still got it. An excellent set with the meet’s most difficult dismount.

European Championships are underway
#EChCluj2017
I’m in Cluj, Romania commenting LIVE at @GymCoaching on Twitter. Men’s preliminaries in progress. Women’s prelims go tomorrow.
I’ll be posting summaries of each day on this site.
This year there is no Team competition nor Juniors competition. But we will enjoy a Senior Individual All Around and Apparatus Finals competition.

Texas Woman’s University NCAA Nationals 2019-2022
The NCAA announced Tuesday Texas Woman’s University will partner with the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau alongside Knight Eady to host the Women’s Gymnastics National Championship at the Fort Worth Convention Center in 2019 and Dickies Arena in 2020, 2021, and 2022. …
The future venue — 14,000 seat Dickies Arena — will be an improvement.
If those competitions will have LIVE TV broadcast I can live with the decision. But having been to Championships in Fort Worth once I’m less likely, as a fan, to return. Personally I’d rather Nationals rotated around the nation. And be hosted by NCAA teams not in independent cities.
Denver’s best ever season
The No. 7-ranked University of Denver women’s gymnastics team tallied a 196.475 in the NCAA National Championship semifinals on Friday, shattering the program record for highest team score at nationals. The previous high was 195.575, set in 2007. …
“Again, we had another solid, consistent night and didn’t have to count a fall,” head coach Melissa Kutcher-Rinehart said after the meet. “It was difficult being in the first semifinal and starting on beam, and it think the nerves showed a little. But we responded with the same focus and aggressiveness that we’ve had all season. …”
MyKayla Skinner MVP of top NCAA teams
MyKayla competed the AA every meet this season without a fall. With the most difficult tumbling and vault in College Gymnastics.
She was more valuable for Utah than were Maggie Nichols for Oklahoma or Ashleigh Gnat for LSU.

Capps, Nichols, Gnat, McMurtry for Honda
Teammates Chayse Capps and Maggie Nichols from Oklahoma University, Ashleigh Gnat of Louisiana State University and Alex McMurtry from the University of Florida are the four nominees for the Honda Sport Award for Gymnastics …
The nominees were chosen by a panel of coaches representing the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches/Women (NACGC). …
Those four athletes are incredibly deserving. You might argue that MyKayla Skinner should have been on the list, as well.
MyKayla’s past controversial statements online have not endeared her to voting panels. She sounded very respectful of others at Nationals, however. Hopefully she’s learning at Utah.
