There are more high quality videos of the British Jr. girls on the BGtv YouTube channel.

I congratulated British coach David Kenwright on the good performance today. They hit 16/16. The strategy worked. Go clean with less difficulty. And hit.

Half way through the meet GB ranks third behind ITA and RUS.

Belgium withdraws from EUROs team final

Google Translate:

“… coaches, medical staff and team leader … has decided after mutual consultation … with the gymnasts not to participate in the team final which will be held on Saturday, August 4 …”

Worlds and Apparatus Finals are higher priorities. They have only 4 gymnasts, not 5. Sounds like putting 3 gymnasts up on Floor might be a medical risk.

Whatever the reasons, we have to respect the decision. I’m sure they’d love to compete team finals if it was safe.

Italy (9th) confirmed that they would compete. Their squad is also depleted after Sofia Busato suffered a probable ACL tear on — where else — Vault landing in competition. Head Coach Enrico Casella said he’d tell the team to have fun. And do their best.

Scott Bregman to @OlympicChannel

For reasons never made clear, Scott Bregman was let go by USAG. He was one of their best and most popular employees bringing us excellent video via YouTube.

He’s moved on to a better place where the Olympic Games never end

Simone’s D-score 25.0

If there were doubts about the Simone Biles comeback, they’ve been silenced. Despite a slip on the uneven bars, the four-time Olympic gold medalist easily won the all-around and three events at last weekend’s U.S. Classic in Columbus, Ohio.

With the U.S. Championships just two weeks away in Boston, Biles looks poised for more success and add further weight to the argument that she is the greatest gymnast of all time. …

In Columbus, Biles received d-scores of:

  • 6.000, vault;
  • 6.100, uneven bars;
  • 6.300 balance beam;
  • 6.600 floor exercise.
