Many of the Juniors used that Felge to L-sit as a transition. No deduction for a skill in hang.

Jr Euros: Russia, GBR, Italy

Men’s Jr European Champions 2018

1. Russia 240.961 (1st R, HB)
2. GBR 240.128 (1st FX, PH, V)
3. Italy 237.895
4. Switzerland 237.829
5. Ukraine 235.096 (1st P Bars)
6. Germany 233.695
7. France 230.825
8. Belgium 229.662

Full results.

As usual, the men’s competition was full of drama and surprise.

I was very surprise when — last rotation — GBR missed on H Bar, Russia HIT Rings to pull ahead.

I was very surprised when Italy — also on Rings last apparatus — hit to pull ahead of Switzerland. They took it with the last stick, last routine of the meet.

Congratulations to all the teams. It was an entertaining competition in the best Gymnastics venue in the world.

Russia leads European Jr MAG …

… after the second subdivision of three.

Like MAGNASTICS, I was convinced GBR had won the team competition … despite having a fairly disastrous final apparatus, H Bar.

After all, they’d won this meet: 2008/2010/2012/2014/2016.

And they looked fantastic, aside from H Bar.

Nope. Men’s Gymnastics is thrilling. And unpredictable.

After 2nd subdivision of three …

1. RUS
2. GBR
3. UKR
4. GER
5. BLR
6. HUN
7. ROU
8. NOR

There is no team final. Today decides TEAM and AA.

My guess is RUS and GBR will finish 1/2. But my MAG predictions are more often wrong, than correct.

BRETSCHNEIDER – H Bar

One of the big disappointments of the qualification round was seeing Andreas miss the H Bar final … because of a missed Weiler. ☹️

No handstand at the start.
Muscling into circles out of Flair.
BIG form break, hitting the horse. Twice.

8.200 is too high, I feel.

Max had 8.541 E-score winning Worlds 2017. Watch that routine.
