Shane Wiskus (gak) Cassina to 1-arm

Tim tells me this wasn’t intentional.

It certainly looks intentional. 😮

Click PLAY or watch Shane on Twitter.

One reason Shane looks so calm is that he’s done this before in competition.

#Mr.Consistency

The biggest surprise for me was Shane Wiskus. Based on this weekend I’d take him to Worlds 2019.

  1.  Sam Mikulak 174.150
  2. Yul Moldauer 168.600
  3. Akash Modi 168.250
  4. Shane Wiskus 167.600
  5. Trevor Howard 163.900
  6. Allan Bower 163.650

Sam won Floor, Pommel, P Bars and H Bar. AND had the both the highest D and E scores.

Alex Diab won Rings. Shane won Vault (based on 1 vault).

Colin Van Wicklen was out with injury.

It was a very good competition day 2. With few falls.
