Adem Asil – Egypt to Turkey

Adem Asil (Abdelrahman Elgamal (Arabic: عبد الرحمن الجمل) is an AA superstar and the Worlds 2022 Rings Champion.

He was 15th AA at the Tokyo Olympics.

After finishing 37th AA representing Egypt at the 2017 Worlds, Adem left his parents in Egypt to move to Turkey (Türkiye) because his coach had relocated there.

Be clear that Adem did not move because of problems in Egypt. In fact, Gymnastics in Egypt is booming. They have a terrific National Training Centre.

He began competing under the name Adem Asil in 2021. A reinvention. But his teammates still call him Abdel in the Gym.

It’s a great story. Click over to FIG to read more:

YOU Hao – Rings

Whew.  In qualifying, this could have been a fall on dismount. 

The BEST routine in Liverpool, other than that.

A thrilling Final. I’m glad I wasn’t a judge trying to rank the top 3 awesome routines.

Shout out for Eli Seitz finishing 4th at her 10th World Championships. Ellie Black finished 4th on Vault but she’s still catching up to Eli on number of Worlds. 😀

Podium with gymnasts from superpowers Ireland, Jordan and Armenia.

Everyone very happy for Adem.

Crowd went nuts for Courtney Tulloch, who’s great on social media, by the way.

My favourite routine was You Hao, but his landing was terrible this time. And that’s enough to drop anyone off the podium.
