Worlds Apparatus Finals 1

See. It is possible for Simone to not win a Vault Final.

First medal for a gymnast representing the African continent. History.

The Olympic Floor champion is 2023 World Champion.

Rhys defends. Congratulations.

Max had a fall near the end of the routine.

Rings is always a battle.

Read Spencer’s LIVE blog for the blow-by-blow.

Khoi Young interview

It looks to me like Khoi will be on the USA top team for many years to come.

The future looks bright. He’s still improving.

Khoi credits Yul for setting up this team Bronze medal.

Rotating with Japan was great as both teams had so much energy. It felt like an NCAA meet.

Uchimura making a COMEBACK

We can ASSuME he’s been inspired by Simone.

It’s either a comeback, or he’s messing around with his team for fun while they celebrate Japan’s gold medal in Men’s Team. 😀

Max – podium Pommels

Though his form and amplitude are not best in the competition, I still have to call Max the favourite for Worlds. This routine is beast.

Max Whitlock is BACK

The greatest British gymnast of all time had every reason to stay retired.

I have to admit — Max is better than ever on Pommels. This routine is beast.

1st WGA Cash Cup

World Gymnastics Association (WGA) is a NEW organization seeking to promote Gymnastics by offering online CA$H competitions.

A cool idea. You can compete Pommels against 2021 World Champion Stephen Nedoroscik, for example.

WGA has FIG modified rules, as you can see.

I’m all for anything that promotes the sport and offers financial remuneration.

The 1st competition was MAG and is posted on YouTube. You’ll see the competitors are of mixed ability level.

I’ll be following this innovation closely.
