The gymternet is in mourning at the passing of the leader of the Dutch Men’s National team Mitch Fenner.
FIG – Mitch Fenner, the ‘voice of Gymnastics,’ passes away

International Gymnast has the best coverage I’ve seen:
The London Men’s Open is possibly the longest-running competition in the world, having begun in the early 1900s. The winner’s cup for the senior competition, presented by the Duke of Westminster, is one of the oldest trophies in British sports. The competition has increased in prestige in the past several years with the addition of international guests. …
Brinn Bevan returned to the all-around after a broken leg, placing fourth.
This year’s event served as the final selection event for the British men’s team to next month’s Olympic Games. …
Specialists Louis Smith (Huntingdon), Kristian Thomas (Earls) and Courtney Tulloch (Pegasus) competed their key events, hoping to impress. Two-time Olympic pommel horse medalist Smith missed his routine (14.450), while Tulloch logged with 15.800 on still rings and 14.900 on parallel bars. Thomas also made his case with 15.300 on floor exercise, 15.400 on vault and 15.100 on high bar. …
Sam Oldham was highest AA in the last competition. Here are the most recent results – the London Open. The last opportunity for the guys to make their case for Rio.
1. Max Whitlock 91.200

I saw those scores on Papa Liukin.
There’s all kinds of online coverage of the 2016 British Trampoline Championships. But not much on the London Open men’s competition. 😦
Good luck to the team selectors for Rio. Max and Nile are locks, I’d say. But there are dozens of possible combinations for the rest of the team. I can’t see taking Louis with all those excellent AA contenders. Brinn Bevan is back in the mix!
Larisa did compete the AA despite a recent concussion hoping to stay in the running for Olympic selection.
