Bretschneider GER competed his double twisting Kovacs. Fantastic. But execution deductions kept him off the podium. We need to get Andreas to the Rio Olympics!
Fabian missed his H Bar routine, as well. Germany MUST qualify a team at the Olympic Test Meet.
World Floor Champion … who else?
Simone Biles has more Worlds Gold medals than any gymnast in history. #Glasgow2015 🙂
Simone Biles sweeps balance beam, floor exercise, breaks Worlds record
1. Simone Biles USA (6.8 + 9.00 = 15.800)
2. Kseniia Afanaseva RUS (6.4 + 8.700 = 15.100)
3. Maggie Nichols USA (6.2 + 8.80 = 15.800)

Personally I liked Sae Miyakawa for the silver. But I feel for the E-score judging panel trying to evaluate these amazing routines. It was a terrific final. Best in … ever.
World P Bar Champion You Hao
#Glasgow2015
The Ring man finished higher on P Bars than Rings. 🙂
1. You Hao CHN (7.3 + 8.916 = 16.216)

Oleg and Oleg punch a ticket to Rio. (Olympics wouldn’t have been worth watching without them. 🙂 )
A fantastic final. Everybody hit. We can argue the final ranking for the coming year.
some kid running wild at #Glasgow2015
… oh. Never mind. It’s 34yr-old Marian Dragalescu. 🙂
One of the all time greats. Rio will be his 4th Olympics. Marian wins a personal invitation as one of the apparatus medalists on Vault.

Komova – Bars
Eleftherios Petrounias – Rings
Petrounias celebrated his win by dedicating his gold medal to his father, who passed away a few weeks ago. The Greek athlete overcame his rivals with a 15,800 score. His success in Glasgow means that he secured a place in the upcoming Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games. …
Not as good as his #1 qualifying routine, but the judges felt this was enough to put him ahead of the rest of the excellent field. Rings was the most competitive Final day 1, I felt.
