USA Nationals – day 2

Spencer:

1. Biles – 118.450
2. Jones – 114.550
3. Wong – 111.100
4. Blakely – 110.750
5. Chiles – 107.750
6. Jong – 106.150
7. Roberson 106.100
8. Sumanasekera – 105.900
8. DiCello – 105.900
10. Disidore – 105.550

Balance Beam Situation – day 1

Max Whitlock is BACK

The greatest British gymnast of all time had every reason to stay retired.

I have to admit — Max is better than ever on Pommels. This routine is beast.

You are unlikely to want to incorporate all of these into your system as some are complicated to set up, but there might be one or two that you might want to add.

Chellsie Memmel likes Air Floors

Personally, my favourite are the shortest, thinnest, and cheapest as those transfer most directly to the performance in competition.
