Thierry Pellerin is the current Canadian Pommel Champ — 14.700 in the Final. He’s got a very good shot at competing Worlds Montreal.
The National Coach remarked that Pommels is Canada’s best apparatus right now. That’s a first all time. 🙂
Though Berki should have been European Champion 2017, the eventual winner David Belyavskiy has never looked better on horse.

Update. Sarah sends a link to a VIDEO from another angle that shows the GO sign lit green. Krisztián does not see it. Waits on the announcer. That’s why it took him more than 30 seconds to mount.
As a judge I would not have taken the 0.3 deduction.

This routine would have been Gold. Except that Krisztián was penalized 0.3 for not starting his routine within 30 seconds of being signalled.
He certainly starts well within 30 seconds of giving salute.

Hungary protested twice. Appeal denied.
Seems bogus to me. There was no intention to delay the competition so far as I can see.
1. David Belyavskiy RUS 15.100
2. Krisztian Berki HUN 14.900
3. Harutyun Merdinyan ARM 14.833
Berki would have won. But for some reason he received a 0.3 neutral deduction.
It sounds like he did not mount the Pommels in the 30 seconds after being signalled to begin. A Hungarian appeal was denied.
David’s never looked better on Pommels.
