Ellie Downie was second. Watch her routine.
Star of Europeans 2017 – Ellie Downie
“I’m definitely very, very happy. My championship really couldn’t have gone much better, to hit 12 out of 12 routines is pretty unbelievable.
I’m definitely tired now but the crowd and my training got me through today. I worked really hard after Rio to push myself in training and its paid of this week, I’m looking forward to a rest now!”
In total, Great Britain won six medals at these championships. Ellie Downie won all-around gold, vault and floor silver and bars bronze, James Hall took all-around bronze and Courtney Tulloch, rings silver.

Evangelina Plyta – Maloney to Deltchev
Nile Wilson’s Body Bible
Nile Wilson is not competing Europeans. He’s still recovering from a fluke P Bar injury.
Instead he’s promoting a program for athletes who want to get Gymnastics ripped.
The way I see it this is the ultimate online programme for Gymnasts, Crossfitters, people training Calisthenics, Fitness enthusiasts. ..

Oklahoma as a team tries to mark a safe landing position … then move slowly and gracefully into the College girl salute. OU obviously trains it this way.
Berki – Europeans Pommel Final
Update. Sarah sends a link to a VIDEO from another angle that shows the GO sign lit green. Krisztián does not see it. Waits on the announcer. That’s why it took him more than 30 seconds to mount.
As a judge I would not have taken the 0.3 deduction.
___
This routine would have been Gold. Except that Krisztián was penalized 0.3 for not starting his routine within 30 seconds of being signalled.
He certainly starts well within 30 seconds of giving salute.

Hungary protested twice. Appeal denied.
Seems bogus to me. There was no intention to delay the competition so far as I can see.

Oleg was awarded 6.4 difficulty. Yet left out his Healy from 1-Bar. Is that D score correct?

Hall and Boulet were near perfect too.
Brägger went clean on a 6.8 D score routine. The astonishing Yusuke Saito has only competed 6.7 this season. Brägger is the new high, I believe.
I’m still calling Switzerland the #1 H Bar nation in the world.
