I didn’t know what to do with myself yesterday. A common ailment for those hanging out in Montreal over the past week.

Doha, Qatar – Worlds 2018
… The 48th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships 2018 have been allocated to the Federation of Qatar, City of Doha.
I’ll be there. October 25 – Nov 3, 2018.
Qatar is very serious about sport. I’ve been very well treated on previous trips.
Many are considering whether or not to attend. Many concerned about human rights issues in Qatar. Let’s shine the spotlight on those issues over the coming year.
I was pleased to see a woman on stage at Closing Ceremonies (along with 2 men) to accept the FIG flag as next hosts.

Vanessa Ferrari – Achilles
Vanessa had some kind of Achilles surgery in 2016.
Looks like it snapped completely on her second tumbling pass during the very last routine of the Women’s World Championships 2017.
Lari Iordache also tore her Achilles at this meet.
Fans are wishing both superstars to recover better than new.
Worlds Montreal is OVER
So happy the world could come to Canada. Again.
Congratulations to all the attending coaches and gymnasts. It’s not easy to qualify to Worlds in a sport this challenging.
Looking forward to all those kids inspired by what they saw in Montreal.

Congratulations Netherlands.
Coaches often say ANYTHING can happen in finals.
It did.
Epke missed one hand on Kovacs regrasp … and somehow hung on to the one arm Giant.
Hidetaka Miyachi was my most anticipated routine (6.700). He caught the layout Bretschneieder. It will be named for him. Then fell on his second release – Bretschneieder. What a shame. I hope Japan puts him on the World Cup circuit as a specialist. He could be #1 on this apparatus by Tokyo.
It looked like Randy Leru would the one headed back to Cuba with a medal, not Manrique. But Randy fell on dismount. Did the mat move on him?
