500 Mushroom circles

… Trip made 510 circles on mushroom. Please note that this competition is designed to push athletes to their mental and physical limits, not emphasize on perfect technique.

I’ve never heard of more than 200 circles! This is an astonishing feat.

But I fear for his wrists when he gets older. Most male gymnasts suffer overuse pain. Trip should retired undefeated after this set. Never do more than 40 circles in future.

Thanks Darren.

Max Whitlock and Louis Smith

As one who often questioned the GBR strategy bringing a specialist to major meets, you can’t argue with the results. Another brilliant Pommel final for Louis. Congratulations.
