The Swiss are as good as any nation on H Bar these days. Smart clean routines.

I was pleased to see very few fugly Rybalko elements. Judges are actually deducting for angles this cycle.

BELYAVSKIY – for example – has a relatively easy routine with only one turning skill to handstand.

Pommels & Rings will be very strong Finals. Horizontal Bar likely the weakest. Many of the best guys competing the big overbar releases missed. Or fell.

full AA results

We’re still waiting on official apparatus finals lists.

Though Oleg leads he was somewhat off on many of his routines. He’s not the #1 qualifier on P Bars for example.
