Romania and Spain WAG up in the 1st flight. I’ll be LIVE tweeting @GymCoaching. Better would be to follow the hash tag #Glasgow2015.

Valerie-Valya Theodora Ko posted a terrific interview with always entertaining Daniela.
Valerie: You have mentioned previously that the 1987 World Championships team was your favorite. Please use one word to describe each your teammates: Ecaterina Szabo, Eugenia Golea, Camellia Voinea, Celestina Popa, Aurelia Dobre, and of course, Daniela Silivas. And how will you describe the bonding of the team?
Silivas: Szabo- kind , Golea – lovable, Popa- smiley , Voinea- serious, Dobre-funny, Silivas –Silly.
In my opinion 87 team was the best team. Not just in the competition .We were so united in practice and outside gymnastics. They are my sisters and after 28 years we are still close. We trained together and lived together for years. …
Valerie: If there are things you would want to change in your career, what would they be?
Silivas: I think everything happens for a reason so I wouldn’t change a thing. I’m happy with my gymnastics career and it helped be the person I am today. …
Valerie: During these recent years, the Romanian team often missed top placements due to weaknesses on the uneven bars. However, during your years, Romanians were great on bars….
Silivas: We started being great on bars after coach Adrian Stan came to national team. He is the best bars coach in the world. You can see the change in Great Britain’s team how good they became after he moved there. …
Team Netherlands is VERY artistic. I’m still not convinced you can quantify that quality. Nor make sure the judges reward it.

Sounds like Brenna will get the call to compete Bars in prelims. I’m happy for her. 🙂
Team USA has to make tough choices with so many great routines to choose from.
Needless to say, her routine is far more “difficult” than other Apparatus Finals contenders with the same D-score.

I’d love to see the Stoop Stalders be put into the same box as regular Stalders next Code. It’s “overuse of one kind of skill” to credit both as skills when they are so similar.

@gym_report is considering whether or not there it would be a good idea to build something similar for NCAA Gymnastics.

… I’ve worked two years to get to this point, building my skills and endurance back up after taking 14 months off following the London Olympics. While I’m incredibly proud to have made it back and to be representing Team USA at this level, with the honor comes pressure and a lot of responsibility.
The last time I was at worlds, the U.S. team won the gold medal, and I qualified for the all-around final and took a bronze on floor. It would be great to repeat those results, but I have to keep reminding myself to take things one step at a time. Defending our world team title and qualifying for Rio is our first priority. …

Lauren Hopkins:
… Ana Maria Ocolisan of Romania injured her ankle on vault in the training hall this afternoon and will no longer be able to compete at World Championships.
Ocolisan will not be replaced in competition by alternate Andreea Munteanu, who has been uninspired in training this season since winning beam gold at European Championships and is unprepared to step in on any event. This leaves Romania in a precarious four-up four-count situation on at least two events, as Andreea Iridon is only doing bars and beam (though she has done floor this year, so it’s possible she will add a routine there, but not on vault).
Right now, it looks like the all-arounders will include Larisa Iordache, Diana Bulimar, Silvia Zarzu, and Laura Jurca in addition to Iridon’s two events. Scary …
