Oleg hit 6/6 🙂 to finish ahead of Uchimura, the first time that’s happened in any competition in YEARS.

It’s sudden victory in the AA final, of course. I’d still call Uchimura the favourite.
Congratulations.

It was a rough meet. Most people expected a far higher HIT rate than we saw.
Toba, Aït Said with serious injuries. Behan completed the meet but left the arena in a wheelchair.
Mom Alicia. Dad some guy named Brady. 🙂

I don’t want to watch the video. 😦
It was a compound fracture of his tibia/fibula. He will have surgery in Rio.
Recall Samir missed the 2012 Olympic Games because of a knee injury on Dragulescu at the European championships in Monptellier.
There’s too much incentive to throw dangerous vaults in both MAG & WAG. I blame FIG rules. 😦
Fabian Hambüchen spoke out to the media on this point after his teammate Toba was injured.
No Bretschneider in the H Bar Final. 😦
Epke should make it, however.

Germany is in BIG trouble as a team after Toba was injured on his first tumbling pass. 😦
Incredibly, Toba limped back on to the podium and completed a PH routine for 14.233. Fabian hasn’t been training Pommels.
The favourite for Gold on Vault. His second vault was equally difficult, equally well done.

The only man crazy enough to punch front out of double layout.

Brazil scored 8.501 points ahead of their 2015 Worlds total. They’ll easily qualify through to the Team final.
Though they competed only 3 gymnasts on Pommels, P Bars & H Bar, the team had no falls. It’s a best ever international team performance.
His prelims score of 15,833 makes the World Champion the man to beat, so far.
