Simone is back

Far from perfect in her dramatic return to competition, Simone is still at least a point better than her competition in 2018.

The rest of the world must strive for the silver medal AA.  … And silver in team.

Some of the E-scores were high, however, at the 2018 U.S. Classic held in Columbus, Ohio.

1. Simone Biles 58.700
2. Riley McCusker 57.500
3. Morgan Hurd 56.350
4. Shilese Jones 54.900
5. Alyona Shchennikova 53.900
6. Audrey Davis 53.750

Morgan and Simone counted a fall. As did Ragan Smith who didn’t compete the AA.

Eddie Van Hoof to Canada

Gymnastics Canada is pleased to announce that Eddie Van Hoof, the Technical Director and Head Coach behind the success of the British men’s artistic gymnastics team from 2006 to 2018, will be joining our team immediately as the new Head National Team Coach for Men’s Artistic Gymnastics. …

Eddie’s wife, Carol-Angela Orchard, is Canadian, of course.

Eddie succeeds Tony Smith in the role who did a great job, in my opinion. It sounds like Tony will return to his previous position as Head Coach University of Calgary.
