1st Jamaican male Olympic gymnast?
Reiss Beckford has a good shot. He qualified JAM to the Test Meet. If he gets to the 2016 Games, he’ll inspire future generations of boys in the Caribbean.
He’s so far raised about 1/4 of £5000 needed for him and his coach to get to trials. That’s on sponsorise.me.

USA Men’s Team Final
USA counted no falls in the team final. One. Tough. Team.
I admire this guy’s fight in particular.
American athletes are more often than not (in all sports) the best psychologically prepared to compete at the highest level
With a healthy Sam Mikulak they will be medal contenders in Rio.

There were MANY good DTYs in the team Final. I was impressed. Especially by China.
This was the best, in my opinion. Especially the NCAA reaction! 🙂

Brittany was absolutely robbed at NCAA Championships a couple of years ago. She stuck Y 1 1/2 perfectly. Was scored only 9.85. 😦

end of the BIG 2 in Men’s Gymnastics?
… China, the reigning kings of the sport, had won every worlds or Olympics title since Japan’s last — a string of six consecutive at the worlds and two in the Olympics. For most of that time, the Japanese had finished second. …
Japan scored 270.818 to win here at The SSE Hydro, while Britain finished with 269.959 points for the silver, its first-ever medal at worlds. The Chinese clawed their way back from a deficit of more than six points to win bronze. …
I’d still say China and Japan are big favourites for Gold and Silver in Rio. GBR the favourite for the Bronze. But anything can happen in Men’s Gymnastics. And often does. Usually on Pommels.
