Enthusiastic volunteers at #WChAntwerp are still working out a few bugs. 🙂
Hopefully they get this fixed by the start of the event. 😉 pic.twitter.com/PFuoyuyEA0

Max Whitlock – Pommel
OK, Max is a monster on this apparatus.
But he’ll have the most piked circles in Finals I reckon. Now that Louis is gone, isn’t it time to start rewarding the guys who swing straight?

Simone Biles – Floor

Who could beat that routine in apparatus finals?
Moors?
Simone Biles – Bars, Beam
Podium #WChAntwerp.
So far, so good. Simone is in the zone.

Brenna is tough. Chellsie Memmel tough, I believe.
She should hang in for Elite. If she’d only stabilized that Bar routine, she’d be competing in Antwerp.
Marta values consistency above anything else. I could easily see her on the Worlds 2014 team where the AA becomes more important.
judges Gordon Bennett, Nikki Hanley
Britain’s Nikki Hanley will create history during the 2013 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp as the first female to judge a men’s artistic World Championships.
… E-judge for Floor Exercise during qualifications next week. …
Canada’s Gord Bennett will be judging WAG vault.
Are there any other wrong gender 🙂 judges at Worlds 2013?
Canadian leos
… Speaking of Moors, she tweeted the Canadian training leos, which are, as ever, botanical (thanks, Lyn G)! …
Couch Gymnast – What Did I Miss? Worlds Edition
If you’ve been too busy this weekend to follow World’s Podium training, that’s a good catch-up.
best Victorian Cross EVER
The “inverted swallow” or “inverted Maltese” was a skill of fiction until just a few years ago. I thought it was physiologically impossible.
It is possible.
But not many of the guys who tried it got close to straight and horizontal.
Ali Zahran of Egypt is about to redefine expectations for hold position.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
If he competes back lever pull to Victorian in Antwerp, it will be given an F value. And named for Zahran.
It’s one of 16 new men’s elements accepted for evaluation by FIG MTC.
MAG coaches should follow Uncle Tim. He’s watching every video coming out of Antwerp and posting the best on his site.
