Marsden on finishing 2nd

… While it seemed heartbreaking watching the Utes finish .05 behind the Florida Gators, Marsden has no regrets.

You know, never been an outcome kind of guy. I know outcome is important, but that has never been my focus. My focus has been on the process. It hurt because we got that close…” Marsden shared, “So it hurt for about a minute, but then you think, no one really expected us to do that, no one expected us to be there, and we did everything we could. The girls really left it out on the floor, did everything they could, and I believe in what I preach, and that’s all you can expect.” …

Lisa Top – Floor

Gymternet:

Back in April, the Dutch women aiming to make the European Games team had to participate in a two-day team trial, one in Amsterdam on April 25 and the other in Beekbergen on April 30. …

(Lisa’s) floor routine on day two was excellent, however, earning a 14.467 for her expert tumbling, including a Dos Santos with just a small hop to the side, a stuck double front, a 1.5 to front full, and a double tuck with a slight hop back. …

I think the Dutch ladies have a very fair shot of making the podium in Baku, especially if they stay consistent. Wevers seems to have a very clear head in competition this season and will likely be counted on to go four-for-four in the team final; between the two trials as well as the international challenge in Flanders two weeks ago, Wevers hasn’t faltered yet and will be a strong presence as she continues in her quest. With Top and van Gerner at her side – Top hoping to count big scores on vault and floor, van Gerner on bars and beam with floor a bonus for her – they have a very nicely balanced team and should do great things at the European Games, both as a team and in making individual finals.
