all in, all gym!

… I just want people to know – I’m not making a comeback, I never left! I had to deal with a few serious injuries after the Olympics but I knew the whole time I wasn’t done.

My dad always says “Do it with passion or not at all.” …

What would a major Men’s Gymnastics competition be without Epke?

He’s as crazy legged as ever. And even higher flying.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

15.433 = D score : 7.10, E score : 8.333

Yep. You’ll see that or more in the Final.

Looks like Epke will not qualify for the P Bar final.

This is Grace Chiu’s 15th “Artistic gymnastics world championships with some sort of camera in hand”.

A day at the office for the greatest gymnast that ever lived.

As we often say, two full falls ahead of the best of the rest. … Maybe only 1 fall ahead of Sam Mikulak 89.532.

After 3 of 4 subdivisions:

1. Uchimura–JPN–91.924
2. Mikulak–USA–89.532
3. Lin–CHN–89.43
4. Zhou–CHN–88.898
5. Sasaki–BRA–88.699
6. Hambuechen–GER–88.064
7. Purvis–GBR–87.031
8. Hegi–SUI–86.998
9. Whitlock–GBR–86.941
10. Calvo Moreno–COL–86.939

Sasaki surprised me. Calvo Moreno even more!

Those hoping that #WChAntwerp might be the Worlds where SOMEBODY would beat Kohei, are likely to be disappointed.

He’s looking healthy and focused. Might even qualify for as many apparatus finals as any time in the past.

He’s competed 4 of 6 apparatus as I post.

… Kenzo Shirai (JPN), qualifications, Floor : 16.233 (D score : 7.40, E score : 8.833). Just fantastic ! …

As expected, he’s leading in prelims by a mile.

AA (so far) at #WChAntwerp:

Mikulak 89.532, Shixiong 88.888, Sasaki 88.699, Hambuchen 88.064, Whitlock 86.941.

Fabian and Max had major errors I expect they’ll correct in the AA Final.

Click PLAY or watch Fabian’s H Bar on YouTube.

That’s his “easy” routine, omitting the Jaeger 1/1.

Still, he’s leading on that apparatus half way through qualifying.

Kevin was Canada’s Olympic alternate for London.

He’s a big talent with world class routines on several apparatus. Kevin will one of mainstays on the rebuilding Team for Rio. Especially since Rings is one of Canada’s two weak apparatus.

Jackson Paine — and his excellent Pommels — should be back on the Team this quadrennial.

One of the few highlights for the Russian guys so far at #WChAntwerp.
