Japanese Olympians chosen this weekend

For the host men, a hugely deep and competitive competition.

NHK Trophy is on 16th May, and the top 2 gymnasts after scores from NHK are combined with Nationals scores earn automatic selection to the Tokyo Olympic team.

The final two spots on the Olympic team are determined following the All Japan Event Championships in June. …

Nationals was won by Hashimoto Daiki who … scored a huge 88.532 in the final, scoring 15+ on four events (including a new and impressive Yonekura (kas 2.5) on vault) to win with a combined score of 173.365.

Within a point of him are Tanigawa Wataru (172.728) and Kaya Kazuma ( 172.696) seperated by only 0.032. …

Kevin Mazeika investigated by USAG

He’s on the “Pending Resolution” list.

“No Unsupervised Contact with Minors.”

Kevin Mazeika was head coach of the 2004 and 2008 U.S. Men’s Olympic Teams and National Team Coordinator from 2009-2016.

GBR Men’s team to Tokyo?

Best chance of an Olympic medal for GBR in Tokyo is Max Whitlock on Pommels.

At the most recent Olympic trial he scored 15.350 with a 6.8 start.

BUT if you select a one apparatus specialist for the Olympics on a 4 man team, is your goal still to score as high as possible in Team?

Or should you send those who have a chance at finals including James Hall in the AA. James scored 86.200 in that trial.

Tough decisions for coach Paul Hall and the selectors.
