Olympic Floor Champ Max Whitlock tumbled well. But fell on his fantastic Air Flair combination. Second reserve Oskar Kirmes (FIN) was excellent. Andrew Smith (IRE) should have been there, but took some -0.3 deduction. (OB says Ireland)

Pommels will be a great final. Max didn’t hit his best routine. I thought he was way over-scored. The main story line will be whether or not any of these Pommel legends will be able to defeat some confident 19-year-old kid from Ireland. I’m betting on Rhys.

R. LANKIN Dmitrii (RUS) 14.633
Courtney tried his second new skill (Tulloch 2) and seems to have suffered very little deduction on it. I was surprised. If that “Victorian” position is counted then pretty much anyone who’s competed that skill should get credit.
Vault
1. Andrey MEDVEDEV (ISR) 14.849
2. Igor RADIVILOV (UKR) 14.783
3. Artur DALALOYAN (RUS) 14.716

8. Loris FRASCA (FRA) 14.100
R. Dominick CUNNINGHAM (GBR) 14.050
Dom nearly made the final with a fall on his first vault. He was that good.
Vault is throw and go. You never know. I’d bet on Igor to win. He seems most in control of his landings to me.

R. ARICAN Ferhat (TUR) 14.466 … (tie breaker on E-score, I assume)
Nikita NAGORNYY was 3rd with a brilliant routine. But his two teammates scored even higher.
In fact I was thinking P Bars would be the worst final until Russia arrived. Last apparatus, last subdivision. Their lineup could challenge China and Japan.

Once again Horizontal Bar is a bit of a disappointment.
BRETSCHNEIDER was brilliant until falling on a relatively simple skill. DEURLOO missed.
Sounds like Epke is going to throw his HARD routine in the final. That’s going to be exciting.
