Nadia back in Montreal at Worlds

Nadia got great applause when she took the stage for the first time during Men’s AA Finals. They love her in Montreal. Nadia’s image appears all over the city.

She lived here for 18 months after defecting and learned French.

Tabea Alt interview

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Tabea submitted and competed 2 new skills on Bars at #MTL2017GYM.

Here’s the Alt. I’d agree that the Alt 1 could be valued a D-part since Pak is a D and similarly does not go to handstand.

Ashton Locklear wins E-score on Bars

9.066 in prelims. Her only significant deduction was landing. And it was not bad.

full results

It was an incredible Final with very few falls for the 24 best gymnasts in the world.

It looked like David would take the title … but he fell surprisingly on an easier H Bar release last apparatus. So close.
