Finals at Europeans*

Some felt the judges were generous.

BUT the BIG STORY is that Turkey pulled off hosting this meet during a pandemic. It turned out to be much better than I expect.

Congratulations.

As always with Romania, we’re worried about Bars. Ana’s still mostly using Free Hip rather than Sole Circle. Typical of that nation’s coaches. Pirouette and Blind on the same arm still, keeping her in the same spot on the rail for dismount.

BBS – WOMEN’S EUROS PREVIEW

The senior team competition will be a fight between Ukraine and Romania, one will come down exclusively to who has the fewest meltdowns in the team final. …
… Hungary should advance to the team final comfortably and be in compelling position for bronze, though the Czech Republic and an unproven-but-talented Turkish squad will be thinking, “Hey, why the hell not?” …
