The biggest happy surprise from day 1 #PGChamps was the veteran putting himself right back in the mix for Worlds 2015.

He was the silver medalist on Horizontal Bar at the 2008 Olympics.

It’s likely Team USA will select one Worlds 2015 team member for Pommels. My guess is Alex Naddour as he has experience and might contribute on some other apparatus, as well.

Not his cleanest routine.

Young Alec Yoder had the highest final Pommel score on day 1.

Sean Melton went 14.900. Donothan Bailey 15.050. Michael Reid 15.050.

Nancy Armour points out just what a difficult time the U.S. Men’s selection committee is facing.

@StickItMedia has been following the selection procedure. He feels this is simply wild speculation. We need to wait for day 2 scores before trying to fit together the team jigsaw puzzle. 🙂

Top score day 1 #PGChamps. Amazing power. And some style. 🙂

Score’s a little high, perhaps. But I’ve always like Sam’s back and forth routine.

He took out the (retro) back toss. Is there anyone left competing toss?

Fantastic day for Jon Horton. 🙂

By Sunday at the P&G Championships at Bankers Life Fieldhouse he could be something more: Three-time U.S. men’s all-around champion. The men’s senior competition begins Friday at 7 p.m.

That’s rare air in gymnastics. The last gymnast to win three in a row was Paul Hamm from 2002 to 2004. …
