YUL had the lowest D-score, highest E- score. Happy to see the 2018 #Longines award winner with a Worlds medal.
Good final. Impressive difficulty. I liked Artem’s Zapata mount.
Wow. I’m surprised. #MTL2017GYM problems.
Following an appeal by the Gymnastics Federation of Chile due to a problem with the structure of the competition floor that occurred during Men’s qualifications, the FIG Jury of Appeal has made the exceptional decision to allow Tomas Gonzalez (CHI) to participate in the Floor final.
During the second day of Men’s qualifications on Tuesday, October 3, a joining rail of the Floor’s structure moved out of place, causing instability on a small part of the floor.
Therefore, nine gymnasts instead of eight will participate in the Men’s Floor final on Saturday, October 7. Tomas Gonzalez will be the first to perform.

Nagornyy has the best ever competed, I’d say.

In the very last rotation of 24, Netherland’s Bart DEURLOO complained to officials that there was a broken spot on Floor.
They took his concern seriously.
After a long delay, Bart was allowed to repeat his exercise. Then everyone from the last Floor rotation was allowed to repeat.
Ireland’s Andrew SMITH scored 13.333 Exe. : 7.733 | Diff. : 5.700 | Pen. : -0.100 the first time.
His second routine was better, I thought. Second score 13.933 Exe. : 8.233 | Diff. : 5.700.
Netherland’s Bram VERHOFSTAD scored 13.866 Exe. : 8.266 | Diff. : 5.900 | Pen. : -0.300
Bram looked excited for the re-do. Good landings brought him 14.433 Exe. : 8.333 | Diff. : 6.100 and a spot in the FX Final. #controversy … This bumps Tomás González to 1st reserve.
Casimir SCHMIDT (NED) was 14.233 Exe. : 8.133 | Diff. : 6.100 | Pen. : ACCEPTED
Casimir, too, was psyched from Bram’s success. Nailing landings. His score went down to 13.533. Exe. : 7.633 | Diff. : 5.900. I didn’t see his first set.
Bart DEURLOO (NED) was 12.766 Exe. : 7.166 | Diff. : 5.600
Bart … who started all this … in the end opted NOT to compete after all due to an ankle injury. But he did get his teammate VERHOFSTAD into the FX Final.
Quite the meet for Bart. On the previous apparatus he qualified for the H Bar final. This after suffering a probably concussion during podium training.

I’ll be following up on this issue.
Yul is a rookie at Worlds competition. But despite lower difficulty than the top AA guys I still think he’s got a shot at podium.
He’s so clean. A HIT meet could put him up with the top group.
Click PLAY or watch his FX on YouTube.
Think back on the great floor gymnasts of all time. Kurt Thomas, Ioannis Melissanidis and Kyle Shewfelt are a few of my favourites.
Artistic gymnasts with excellent tumbling.
Dwight Normile asks … What’s Happened to Men’s Floor?
Could be a fantastic final. Sadly Ray Zapata is injured.
I really enjoyed GymCastic #267: Growing Up In Cuba with Charlie Tamayo
The first male gymnast to win a World medal for Cuba tell us what it was like to grow up in the Cuban gymnastics system. …
Especially the story of how and why a Cuban superstar defected to the USA.
Click PLAY or watch Charlie training Tamayo on YouTube.
Charlie is one of the new coaches at Georgia this season.
GymCastic is now 5 years old. Time flies when you are having fun.
