Brittany Rogers – Bars
Brittany turned age-23 today.
I was at her Gym for two days this week. No rest after Nationals for Olympic team contenders. 🙂
In person – at 5′ 6″ – Brittany is even more impressive than on YouTube. Her Bars are particularly shocking. She rips through half routines like Beth Tweddle. Her toe 1/1 is toe hop 1/1 catching (sometimes) before handstand.
Check the height on this Shap half. Almost horizontal. That’s as high as anyone in the world.
The list of 12+ gymnasts who will be invited to the Canadian Olympic trial camp has still not been finalized. Brittany is certainly top 3 on Bars and Vault.

Ashton Locklear – 9.450 E-score Bars
Some are complaining that score is too high. Close to perfect is 9.1 E-score, according to the good ladies of FIG.
But I’m alright with this evaluation. This routine is extremely clean.

Great routine. But a good example of why the Russian tap over the low bar for dismount is a bad idea for most gymnasts.
By comparison, Diana Varinska VIDEO can do it with good form.

Here’s some training video of one of the outrageous acts. Much more difficult than they make it look.
