University of Calgary International Cup RESULTS

The annual international “friendly” in Canada was better than ever this year. Canada’s top guys vs very strong teams from China and USA in a 6-5-4 format.

The top 2 international stars for Canada were out of the team. Scott Morgan competed only Rings, protecting a “lower body” injury. Kevin Lytwin (knee ligament injury) did LIVE colour commentary.

When Team USA had ZERO falls starting on Pommels, I got the feeling they’d win this event. They did.

‘Smart Rings’ at Jr Europeans

Great news. Artistic Gymnastics judging will finally include a truly objective component.

‘Smart Rings’ is a project by InnoSportLab with automatically measures the time for hold elements on Rings.

Hollowback Press on Rings

More gymnasts should use “Hollowback” Press on Rings. It’s easier than straight leg, straight arm piked press (for some gymnasts) and judges tend to be more forgiving in execution deductions.
