Japan had a fantastic meet. I could see them finishing as high as 4th in prelims.

Canada had an excellent competition, as well.

College girl Brittany Rogers is back and looks even better than at the Olympics when Canada finished an historic 5th as a team.

MVP of the day just might have to go to Victoria Woo who competed 1st on all 4 apparatus. And rocked it.

Chusovitina – Produnova

So far, only Olympic 2012 Vault finalists @brittyrogers and @EllieBlack_ are ranked higher for Apparatus Finals.

This was posted on wogymnastika. (7.0/14.766)

Obviously a vault landed that deeply and dangerously should suffer greater deduction. The FIG WTC rules clearly do not work. 😦

Second vault was Tsuk with 1 1/2 twist. (5.5/14.60 for 14.683 average)

The cutoff for last year's vault final was a 14.700 (Steingruber).

So, Chuso's 14.683 could be borderline.

we love Roxana Popa

Here’s why.

She came back from serious surgery to try to help her team qualify to the Olympics at #Glasgow2015. And missed on her only apparatus in prelims – Bars.

Spain was super enthusiastic. A big group of fans cheering them on 1st session in Glasgow.

Romanian meltdown

Here’s the pre-competition post from Bea Gheorghisor – World Team Preview: Romania

Here’s what happened at #Glasgow2015. 😦

Ponor injured before the trip. Anamaria Ocolisan injured in Glasgow. (Alternate not ready to step-in for some reason.)

4 counting falls on Bars.

Yes they competed in the first flight. But – in the end – Bars is still too weak. Grips have helped. But they should not be relying on free hips when everyone else in the world uses (much more consistent) sole circle skills.

For comparison, Romania's 217.220 is two points behind their 2014 team total and would have been 9th place. #Glasgow2015

Romania left the mixed zone with tears streaming down their face. Hard to watch

UPDATE – Bea Gheorghisor’s report on the Romanian roation:

… I saw the looks on the coaches’ faces, the disbelief, the shock, the teary eyes. I heard Larisa speaking to the Romanian television, crying, “we are not trying to find excuses, we will think about what happened, we are responsible for all of it”. …

MAG Worlds update

Round ‘Em up, Boys: MAG Tidbits from Worlds – October 22, 2015

Japan had quite a dreadful podium on Horizontal Bar. Hasegawa was injured on one fall, aggravating a sore hip. Naoto Hayasaka, the alternate, was called in.
