Longine’s Elegance Prize?
#FIGWorlds2014ART
Who should I vote for?
Only the top 24 all-around gymnasts are eligible, but I don’t mind voting for someone off that list, spoiling my ballot. Elegance is elegance.

___
Elsa Garcia has won it in the past. But I could vote for her again. 🙂
___
Georgia-Rose Brown is even taller, we think, than Kyla Ross (USA) who won last year. Beautiful lines.
___
peggy81808 suggests Asuka Teramoto.
___
30yr-old Vasiliki Millousi had a great meet, leading her Greek team to 2015 Worlds qualification. A gymnastics super model.
___
Who else?
Check the list of Artistic winners since 1999.
Yana Kudryavtseva won it at Rhythmic Worlds last week.

Top 8 compete in the Team Final. The Aussies are celebrating.
Top 24 move on to World Championships 2015 in Glasgow.
GER, NED, BEL, CAN, FRA, MEX, ESP, BRA, POL, KOR, SUI, HUN, SWE, AUT, PRK, GRE
FIG:
Elegant Vasiliki MILLOUSI (GRE), 30, ranked first in the subdivision’s All-around standings with 53.933 …
Greece also celebrated their 24th-place overall finish, which secured them the last position for the 2015 World Championships in Glasgow.
My friends from Colombia are 25th at this point 😦 , the alternate if any of the top teams are unable to attend.
Australia rocks
It was confirmed that former World Champion Lauren Mitchell was out with ankle injury. The rest of the team would have to step up. And they did.
An incredible team performance raised the Aussies over Germany to the 8th and final spot in the Team Final (so far). France is yet to compete the final preliminary competition.
Congratulations to the girls and their coaches. Team Germany has far higher scoring potential, as calculated by The All Around. But it’s Team Australia going to the big dance.
GBR rocks
We were much impressed with Great Britain. Sitting 4th in team, so far, behind only USA, CHN, RUS
China prelims
#FIGWorlds2014ART prelim team
It was fun to watch the host nation at home. They are under tremendous media scrutiny.
After 9/12 preliminary sessions:
USA 235.038
CHN 230.753
RUS 228.135
Much like most pundits predicted.
China won Beam and Bars. But fell too far behind USA on Vault and especially Floor to be competitive. Floor was even weaker than anticipated. Where is Cheng Fei?
We felt badly for CHEN Siyi. She fell on the first 3 apparatus. Managed to stay on her feet on Vault.
Despite a big wobble, fan favourite Bai Yawen made the Beam final.
Post by USA Gymnastics.
YAO Jinnan and BAI Yawen will make the Beam final.
YAO Jinnan and HUANG Huidan the Bars final.
YAO Jinnan and SHANG Chunsong the AA final.
Krisztian BERKI – Pommels
I’d say Keatings is the man to beat in the Pommel Final. But he must hit perfect as this guy is not going to miss this time.
D:7.000 E:9.066 / 16.066
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Berki does the Magyar spindle properly. Some of the other guys do not complete it in 4 hand placements.
Victoria Moors
No update on Tori’s status from Team Canada.
She’s taking a break. Not injured. Undecided whether she’ll be back for Worlds 2015.
