Vasiliki Millousi comeback
Worlds Schmerlds.
The BIG news of the day is that 38-year-old Vasiliki Millousi is going to resume training.
A triple Olympian and many time international medal winner on Beam, she was always a fan favourite.
Married to Olympic Champion Eleftherios Petrounias, Vasiliki only stopped Gymnastics to have 2 kids.
They run a Gym. She started training again for fun and decided to go for Elite again.

READY TO ROCK IN LIVERPOOL!
Daiki Hashimoto – H Bar
The defending Olympic Champ is the favourite for Worlds.
some of the FAVES at Worlds Liverpool
If you ask anyone of these contenders, their goal is simply to MAKE the top 8 final.
Not easy.
Once you make it, you can let ‘er rip in the Final.

Luo Rui – Bars
Yulo’s Vaults for Liverpool
The defending World Champ looks the man to beat in 2022.
He’s got the difficulty. And the best execution of any of the top guys.
For me he’s the favourite on both Floor and Vault.
ZOU Jingyuan on Rings
New element submitted for Worlds Liverpool.
And it looked legit in Podium training.
From inverted cross lower slowly to inverted hang and felge bwd. slowly to V cross (2 s.) – Element value: E

Top 8 teams at Worlds Liverpool?
After watching over 12 hours of Gymnastics today, it seems clear that USA, CHN, BRA and GBR will be in the team final. Despite lack of depth on Floor and Vault, ITA will be there too.
… Next 3?
Teams will need a good qualification meet. Three strong Beam routines.
I like Canada and Australia. But Belgium and France are higher ranked by some number crunchers.
Recall Australia was 13th at the 2019 Worlds, just missing qualifying a full team to Tokyo.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Japan or Korea qualify.
Netherlands?
It’s going to be exciting.
And it’s an honour to be here in Liverpool watching so many of the best gymnasts in the world competing at the highest level.
Good luck to all. Stay safe out there.
Eythora – Floor
Another of the most anticipated routines at Worlds.
You know judges will use this as an example of what “artistry” means under their very vague Code of Points.
Is it inspired by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine? If Eythora says so, yes it is.
Pain of the Nation.
