The men’s NCAA program is under threat of dissolving. Eventually. This result and the American men’s team medal will help.
Exceptional spirit and technical precision?
The French women and the Swiss men.
Good choices.
Fred Richard, not Richards. Get that straight. He’s the 2023 Worlds Bronze medalist.
Fred has many areas where he could improve. Young with tons of potential.
A good AA Final overall. Comparatively few falls.
Many of those falls — however — were from top contenders at the END of the competition. My man Sun Wei had 2 falls on Pommels on the final apparatus, for example.
A crazy finish.
Daiki really is the new Uchimura. So clutch under pressure.
That’s Hashimoto’s 2nd-straight world title.

Brazil’s roller coaster competition ended with the first World Championships medal for a team from South America in history. …
Meanwhile, the Paris 2024 Olympic hosts became the first French team to win a World medal since 1950.

GBR took the early momentum lead, winning the INTRO dance. 😀
But the big surprise was the Olympic host nation taking the Bronze.
I really enjoyed the competition. A thriller.
There were falls. And some personal BEST EVER routines.
Great Gymnastics overall.
Italy really impressed despite not having some of their biggest stars in this line-up.

Japan was very happy to get back atop the Worlds team podium.
China brought in a replacement gymnast — perhaps the only one with a current visa for Europe. And it worked.

Rotating with Japan was great as both teams had so much energy. It felt like an NCAA meet.
