Berki – Pommels

I’d call him the favourite to win Worlds. Even in the U.K.

The Pommel Final, as usual, will be one of the most competitive.

Daniel Corral – P Bars

Rumour is that Daniel, first Mexican gymnast to win a medal at the World Championships (Pommels), will move to Texas to train with Ivan Ivankov.

MAG Tidbits from 2015 Worlds

Uncle Tim – Round ‘Em up, Boys: MAG Tidbits from 2015 Worlds – October 21, 2015

Oleg Verniaiev and Ukraine

Oleg has the best chance to end Kohei Uchimura’s long reign as World AA Champion at #Glasgow2015, in my opinion.

Oleg looked good in podium training. Relaxed. Working hard on his errors in mock meet routines.

On Vault he’s significantly better than Kohei. His Dragalescu STUCK today as it so often is.

On Pommels and Rings he’s close to Uchimura.

Oleg Verniaiev is the defending World Champion on P Bars. But today he had problems with Makutz. It would be one of the big shockers of the meet if Oleg missed on that apparatus.

Kohei Uchimura is significantly stronger on FX and Horizontal Bar, however.

If both hit 6/6, I predict Uchimara will walk away with his 6th consecutive Worlds title.

Oleg Verniaiev

After the debacle at the London Olympics – and all the problems in Ukraine – everyone wants these guys to qualify a team to Rio. But that’s no certainty. The team competition in MAG is fierce.

Romania in training

Lauren Hopkins has an update.

She feels they’re stronger than 2014, even without Ponor. Bars are not as BIG a problem as in the past. 🙂
