Oleg was awarded 6.4 difficulty. Yet left out his Healy from 1-Bar. Is that D score correct?

Wow. When is Horizontal Bar ever one of the best Finals?

Hall and Boulet were near perfect too.

Brägger went clean on a 6.8 D score routine. The astonishing Yusuke Saito has only competed 6.7 this season. Brägger is the new high, I believe.

I’m still calling Switzerland the #1 H Bar nation in the world.

I’m happy with this podium. And happy for the home crowd and organizers.

Ponor will not regret continuing her career through to 2017. She was Olympic Beam Champion in 2004. That was so many years ago I’ve lost count. 🙂

Eythora’s routine was dreamy. Cata super aggressive. Both awesome. Cata the higher start score.

Fans are “fanatics”. If you want fans for your sport, be prepared to put up with some fanatics. Cluj has done a terrific job promoting this event.

Tabea Alt, too ill to compete the AA, had a disastrous routine. 😦 Perhaps she should have withdrawn from this Final, as well.

Europeans Men’s Vault Final

1. Dalaloyan RUS 14.933
2. Dragulescu ROM 14.733
3. Verniaiev UKR 14.649

full results

Good podium. Dalaloyan competed a near perfect Yurchenko triple twist STUCK and an excellent Handspring double front pike. 

You could easily switch #2 and #3, however. They were close.

I love Dragulescu’s showboating on the podium. But is it deductible?

The apparatus has claimed fewer victims than in most competition. But Medvedev’s crash reminded us just how dangerous it can be.
