Gabriel Eichhorn breaks the H Bar

The best gymnasts in the world put a LOT of force into the apparatus.

Breaking springboards, for example.

Guys told me that the connection between cable and top of the post failed, in this case. I saw TaiShan guys going around and checking them.

In a new Marie Claire magazine interview:

After her historic achievement at the Paris 2024 Olympics, which established her as Brazil’s most decorated Olympic medalist, the athlete decided to take time off to care for her physical and mental health during a sabbatical year.

During this period, she did not compete in the World Gymnastics Championships for the first time since starting in the senior category in 2015, and is still considering plans for the 2026 World Championships and the 2028 Olympics, which should mark the gymnast’s last competition in the Olympic Games.

Chinese gymnasts soar to three golds on final day of Trampoline Worlds

I’m most impressed by Ruben Padilla, Double Mini-trampoline master, who finished 2nd in Men’s Trampoline. The first U.S. man in 51 years to reach the podium in a Worlds Trampoline Final.


Nikita Nagornyy interview

Nagornyy became head of the Young Army Cadets National Movement (Putin Youth) in 2020. Training young people to kill Ukrainians.

Banned from entering my nation, for life.

I hope he never competes again in an FIG competition.

BUT he is still very involved with Gymnastics in Putin’s dictatorship.
