Max is hitting. Oleg is hitting. Manrique is rapidly improving.

Sooner or later someone will defeat Kohei in the AA. I’d say Uchimura is the man to beat in Rio. But the contenders may be within one fall of him at this point.
At age 27, Kohei is not sticking as consistently as he has in the past.
She is this year’s Honda Sports Award recipient for gymnastics, distinguishing her as the nation’s top collegiate female athlete in the sport. The honor was based on the results of national balloting among all NCAA member schools as part of The Collegiate Women Sports Awards program, now celebrating its 40th year. The other finalists were Lindsay Mable (Minnesota), Nina McGee (Denver) and Elizabeth Price (Stanford).
This is the second such honor for Sloan, as she won the award as a freshman in 2013. A Gator gymnast has claimed the honor four of the last five years, as Kytra Hunter was the 2012 and 2015 recipient. …
What a career!

Bea Gheorghisor compiled first shocked reactions from Adrian Stoica, Octavian Bellu, Mariana Bitang, Daniela Silivas and others.
I’m quoted in a Guardian article by Dvora Meyers – Romania’s Olympic gymnastics failure: where did it all go wrong?
One positive note. It sounds like Catalina Ponor will try to continue through the 2017 European Championships hosted by Romania.
I love this tribute.
After a disastrous ranking at Worlds 2015 we feared Epke would not get the chance to defend in Rio.
He will. 🙂
Team Netherlands did qualify and will almost certainly include Zonderland in their lineup.
I watched the warm-up. Bart DEURLOO, BRETSCHNEIDER and ZONDERLAND are all capable of linking multiple big releases in a final. Here’s how it turned out.
1 ZONDERLAND Epke NED 7.100 + 8.633 = 15.733
2 BRETSCHNEIDER Andreas GER 7.300 + 8.300 = 15.600
3 OROZCO John USA 6.800 + 8.566 = 15.366
full results
Ultra clean Nile Wilson fell twice. John Orozco hit superbly with Liukin for the Bronze. (John was 9/9 in Rio.) But as he’s done so many times in the past, Epke hit the routine best when it counted.
Congratulations. Netherlands may be the happiest nation coming to the Olympics at this point.

Neither men nor women.
Seems like a bad dream. 😦 Respect this team and great ROM history.
The one thing everyone agrees upon. 🙂
