Even the best in the World … sometimes fall.
USA Men win Pan Ams
1. USA 267.750
2. BRAZIL 264.050
3. COLOMBIA 259.300
Preliminary AA leaders:
1. Manrique Larduet CUB 90.25
2. Sam Mikulak USA 89.850
3. J Calvo Moreno COL 88.750
Cuba did not send a team to Worlds 2014 so they are only allowed to send 3 gymnasts to Worlds 2015. Manrique still could qualify. It would be a shame not to see one of the very best gymnasts in the world compete in Rio.
Pan Ams: USA, Brazil, Colombia
After the first subdivision of Men’s preliminaries:
1. USA 267.750
2. Brazil 264.050
3. Colombia 259.300
4. Canada 258.350
5. Puerto Rico 246.950
Fans were disappointed for Canada. They had a fairly good competition, I thought, after loosing National Champion Jackson Payne to Achilles injury in the training camp before the Games. The hosts competed only 3 guys on Pommels. All 3 hit. Update – Elfi said that all 3 had hit. But Ken Ikeda fell. Unhappily, too, Scott Morgan, former Worlds Floor finalist, missed and will not make the FX final. 😦
AA results (so far)
1. Sam Mikulak 89.850
2. Jossimar Calvo Moreno 88.750
3. Donnell Whittenburg 87.700 (fall on H Bar)
Elfi Schlegel was back doing Gymnastics commentary in her home town. Seems a shame Kyle Shewfelt – a true MAG expert – wasn’t used more on the Canadian TV coverage.
Pan Am Games opening ceremonies
800 artists were included in the Cirque du Soleil production. Quite well done, I thought.

On the Canadian TV coverage announcers tried to explain the artistic vision behind each act. Bewildering to me. I prefer watching Cirque dance and acrobatics without trying to follow the plot. 🙂
Schwaiger and the other tumblers pulled out some great tumbling off Air Floor Pro.

sport’s parent checklist
These are good signs:
They cheer for the other children.
They take time to compliment the officials.
They talk to parents of the other team.
They resist the urge to critique their child’s performance.
Those come from an excellent post by Shane Murphy, Ph.D. – How to Be A Successful Youth Sports Parent – Escaping the Parent Trap
