Kids. Don’t try this at home. 😀
Under pressure in Team, the reigning World AA Champ HITS.
Fan favourite Sun Wei is hurting in Liverpool. Minor injuries.
But in the Team competition he brought his usual beautiful form and style.
We feared the Aussie superstar might not be able to compete after he suffered a back injury training this apparatus in Podium.
Tyson was 5th in the Tokyo Olympics.
It was a game day medical decision.
AND he qualified to the Final in 8th spot with this brilliant routine. In fact he tied with teammate Mitchell Morgans, but won the tie-break. Mitchell will step in if any of the 8 finalists withdraw.
Reserves – Morgans, Souza, Tvorogal

The defending Olympic Champ is the favourite for Worlds.
FIG will compile a medical report from Liverpool Worlds.
In it they will record what percentage of athletes left the competition due to injury.
Gymnasts were injured on day 1, including one of the H Bar favourites ➙ Tyson Bull. A lower back injury on H Bar.
But I felt there were fewer injuries than at past Worlds. MAG Vault landings were less horrific than in the past. Hopefully athletes are better prepared than in the past to survive a Code of Points where difficulty is so much more rewarded than quality. Hopefully.
MAG Gymnastics is really dangerous.
Daiki Hashimoto (橋本 大輝, Hashimoto Daiki, born 7 August 2001), is the defending Olympic champion. And Olympic H Bar champ.
The routine to beat at Worlds, I reckon.
I believe this is an Insta360 X3 camera, by the way. Even if the camera is fixed, you can watch the action from many different angles.
