GBR Men’s team to Tokyo?

Best chance of an Olympic medal for GBR in Tokyo is Max Whitlock on Pommels.

At the most recent Olympic trial he scored 15.350 with a 6.8 start.

BUT if you select a one apparatus specialist for the Olympics on a 4 man team, is your goal still to score as high as possible in Team?

Or should you send those who have a chance at finals including James Hall in the AA. James scored 86.200 in that trial.

Tough decisions for coach Paul Hall and the selectors.

Dalaloyan leads Russian Championships

Artur Dalaloyan, the 2018 World AA champion and the 2019 World AA silver medalist, predictably took the lead in the competition today with 85.331 …

Dalaloyan was only slightly over 0.1 ahead of the rising star of the Russian team Aleksandr Kartsev (85.198). Nineteen-year-old Kartsev made his senior debut in 2019 and went to a couple of World Cups but wasn’t yet able to break onto major teams.  …

David Belyavskiy finished third with 83.198.
