Bart Deurloo – probable concussion
After a bad fall on H Bar, Bart continued podium training finishing that apparatus then tumbling very well on Floor. But brain damage is possible.

#MTL2017GYM Press Conference
Nadia and Kyle Shewfelt, FIG Ambassadors, unveiled the Worlds medals.
Gymnastics Canada Chair Richard Crepin gave an inspiring speech promising a Worlds we will never forget. He called on Kyle to come out of retirement. Declined, sadly.
FIG President Watanabe speaks English quite well. He asked that the media promote Gymnastics wanting children the world over to have a chance to participate.
Factoids:
Artistic Gymnastics Worlds is one of the top 3 most popular Olympic sports.
At least 50,000 tickets sold to fans from at least 42 nations. 660+ estimated million viewers worldwide on TV and online.
Press conference hosted atop the Olympic tower.
If organizers were trying to win over the media with free wine and hors d’oeuvres … it worked. 🙂
