official results

Dragalescu is back

At age-34, one of the greatest Floor / Vault men all time has successfully made another comeback for #Glasgow2015.

Marian did qualify to the #Glasgow2015 Vault Final. But missed on Floor.

Leyva the Redeemer

Coincidence? 🙂

USA qualifies a full team to the Rio Olympics. Danell Leyva the top American AA in qualifications.

In a very stressful situation, Danell did not hold back. Seemed to me he launched the first release with even greater height than usual.

Americans very often rise to the occasion when most challenged. Respect.

Dutch men 11th so far

There are a large number of Dutch media here in Scotland. Gymnastics – especially Epke – is a BIG DEAL in that nation.

Team Netherlands put together a very good meet today, but it wasn’t enough to match their women. They live to fight another day. At the Rio Test Meet.

Sadly, Epke did not qualify to the H Bar Final.

He scored 14.300 (7.200 D +7.100 E) 31st rank at this point.

Zonderland could still be Olympic Champion. The team needs to go to the Test Meet. Qualify as a team first.

After errors USA really needed this guy to anchor big on P Bars and H Bar. He did.

Team Jamaica

The 1976 Olympics were held next door, in the Forum, demolished 1998.

The 1985 World Championships were held next door, in the building now being used as a science centre.

It’s time Gymnastics gets the BIG stage.
