Elena DAVYDOVA nominated to FIG WTC
Elena DAVYDOVA was the 1980 Olympic all-around champion. She’s an expert judge. An active coach.
Kristina Vaculik was part of the Canadian record setting 5th place team rank at the London Olympics.
Her up-and-coming elites include Jade Chrobok and Ana Padurariu.
I can’t think of anyone I’d like more to be part of that committee. 🙂
Nellie Kim ran unopposed for Chair last cycle. This time Donatella SACCHI from Italy is nominated, as well.
See the whole list of nominees. Via Gymternet Clan.
Sam Mikulak 91.650 to 4peat
91.650 on day 2. 🙂 Here are the combined totals:
1. Mikulak 181.500
2. Brooks 179.850
3. Dalton 179.000
4. Modi 178.750
5t. Melton, Whittenburg, Moldauer 177.550
Scores are high in the USA for some guys, some apparatus. Selectors will need to redo the math with more realistic international numbers. Perhaps the WAY over-scored NCAA judging is part of the cause.

Japanese Olympic team named.
Kenzo Shirai will make his first Olympic journey this summer to Rio de Janeiro as he secured his place along with Yusuke Tanaka and Koji Yamamuro on Sunday following the national apparatus championships, which serve as Japan’s final qualifying event. …
Performances from the national championships in April and the NHK Cup in May were also taken into account by the Japan Gymnastics Association to choose the best possible members for the team event. …
46 National Championships in series
Dave Copeland. Canada.
Hardy Fink on the right has attended more Worlds & Olympics than any other FIG judge, MAG or WAG. But he did miss a few Canadian Nationals. 🙂
Both men represent the dedication and commitment of our officials. Certainly they don’t do it for the money nor the praise.
