Hashimoto Daiki v Zhang Boheng

What a battle!

A rivalry we’ll be following for years.

  1. Zhang Boheng CHN 87.981
  2. Hashimoto Daiki JPN 87.964
  3. Kovtun Illia UKR 84.899

Yul Muldauer 84.365 finished 4th with a fall on Rings dismount. So close.

The big surprise for me is Canada’s William Emard in 8th with 83.256. He originally wasn’t expecting to compete the AA but stepped in after Felix Dolci’s ankle injury.

Full results.

Kenzo is retired?

He certainly could have easily qualified for the Floor final at Worlds.

Kohei – Philosopher King

The greatest of all time reflects on his career. He’s proudest of 2011 Worlds Tokyo, his 3rd title.

He feels Gymnastics should be more ART than sport.

Calvo out of the AA final due to Covid

Jossimar Calvo finished 20th, qualifying for the all-around final. But is now in quarantine after testing positive.

How did he get the virus with so many safety protocols in place?

I certainly hope it wasn’t a false positive.

The competition was delayed over an hour while being disinfected. That included taking all chalk off the H Bar.

One Austrian news story said there were two positive tests.
