Russia leads qualifying (for now)

Rewriting Russian Gymnastics has a wrap-up of their prelims competition.

Some speculate that the injury to Aliya Mustafina helped the rest of the team step up.

#Glasgow2015 gymnasts with USA ties

A new site called The Gym Report has a lengthy post featuring Worlds competitors with strong links to the USA. Many compete or have competed NCAA.

Brit Danusia Francis (UCLA) is here competing for Jamaica.

GBR crazy good

The home team dazzled. Really, really impressive performance. 🙂 And the scary thing is (for their competitors) … both Downie sisters fell on Bars. Imagine what they would have scored if they had HIT.

Japan, Canada leading at Worlds

so far … #Glasgow2015

Japan had a fantastic meet. I could see them finishing as high as 4th in prelims.

Canada had an excellent competition, as well.

College girl Brittany Rogers is back and looks even better than at the Olympics when Canada finished an historic 5th as a team.
