Canadian Men’s team named
Tony Smith of Calgary named his seven-man team, including one reserve, for the Olympic qualifier.
Joining Ikeda, Morgan, Payne and Zakutney on the Rio-bound team are Anderson Loran of Saskatoon, Rene Cournoyer of Repentigy, Que., and Hugh Smith of Halifax.
“This is a very different team going to Rio than I was expecting,” said Smith. “It’s been a real ordeal with all the injuries we’ve had, but these guys have stepped up and have improved as a team in many ways.”
“We tend to look on the bright side, but still it’s going to be a difficult challenge to get that Olympic berth.”
Among others, injuries have knocked out five-time world championship veteran Kevin Lytwyn of Stoney Creek, Ont., and most recently Mathieu Csukassy of Montreal who tore a patella tendon on Friday in the team competition.
Zakutney, the 2015 Elite Canada junior all-around champion, was slated to compete at the Pacific Rim Championships in April, but now finds himself gearing up for the Olympic qualifier in what will be the biggest competition of his career.
“I’m very excited,” said Zakutney. “I wasn’t focusing on the Olympic qualification event at all since I had already been picked for the Pacific Rim event, but now I feel more motivated than ever. I just want to get back to the training gym and work even harder.”
The Olympic qualification meet for artistic gymnastics will take place April 16-18.?
Rene had a fluke fall from Rings when a grip broke – keeping him out of UCIC – but is expected to be ready for Rio.

Bretschneider wins in Stuttgart

3. Nikolai Kuksenkov 86.432
Germany’s Andreas Bretschneider won the men’s all-around title at the DTB World Cup on Sunday, giving the host nation a double win after Sophie Scheder’s triumph on Saturday.
Bretschneider topped American Danell Leyva and Russia’s Nikolai Kuksenkov in a fall-filled competition that saw the lead change hands many times. The packed crowd at the Porsche Arena was firmly behind Bretschneider and Olympic star Marcel Nguyen.
Both AA winners take home 16,000 Swiss francs (14,600 euros).

BBS LIVE commentary:
… (UCLA) still expect to do better, but they also got some severe beam gifts today, and I thought floor scores were sort of fictional throughout.
UCLA pretty clearly the best team of the day after Utah’s beam, but I’m impressed how close it ended up and how close all four of the sides were. Would have loved to see how Stanford would have fared competing at the same time.
