2018 Japan Supreme Men’s AA Final

1 Kenzo Shirai 85.497
2 Teppei Miwa 84.132
3 Kazuma Kaya 83.765
4 Fuya Maeno 83.265
5 Shogo Nonomura 82.631
6 Kakeru Tanigawa 82.465

… a bunch of the top AA gymnasts all competed against each other, including junior gymnasts Teppei Miwa (17) and Takeru Kitazono (16).

Incredibly, Teppei actually placed 2nd with a score breaking 84, which is a big number for a junior.

The medalists are automatically selected to compete on the AA World Cup Circuit- with first place competing in two, and the 2nd and 3rd place finishers getting to compete in one each. Which means we’ll get to see young Teppei on the World stage very soon!

World Champs Ri Se Gwang, Zou Jingyuan & EPKE

2. Dalaloyan Artur RUS 14.883
3. Shirai Kenzo JPN 14.675
results

Some felt Dom Cunningham who finished 4th could have deserved Bronze. Kenzo was not deducted for stepping over the line on his stuck landing vault 2. There’s no deduction for landing ON the line.

P Bars
1. Zou Jingyuan CHN 16.433
2. Verniaiev Oleg UKR 15.591
3. Dalaloyan Artur RUS 15.366
results

Zou’s P Bars was the single best routine of the competition. I had him at 9.8 E-score.

Some, including myself, would have been happier if the Bronze had gone to Sam Mikulak 15.233.

H Bar
1. Zonderland Epke NED 15.100 (Exe. 8.300)
2. Uchimura Kohei JPN JPN 14.800 (Exe. 8.400)
3. Mikulak Samuel USA USA 14.533 (Exe. 8.433)
results

Jon Horton and others point out that the E score panel did not do their job. Though Epke deserved to win, there’s no way his E-score should be close to Kohei or Sam.

Zou Jingyuan – P Bars

My favourite routine from team finals.

I’ll try to link to Twitter routines as they are never geoblocked.

Oleg Verniaiev qualifies for the AA final

His coach felt he needed to return for Doha, ready or not, in order to prep for Tokyo.
