He’s almost certainly going to have the highest start score at #WChAntwerp.

This Code of points sucks. 😦
He’s got no incentive, score wise, to put in the triple double or double double layout that he can do easily.

If everyone hits, Simone will win.
But if I had to bet the mortgage … I’d put my money down on Kyla Ross.
The favourite.

Shang Chunsong could be the biggest breakout star at Worlds.
Free hip elements are notoriously inconsistent, however.

… Great Britain are killing it. The quality and depth of their team is impressive. … how far they’ve come.
Janssen Fritzen floor …. We are going to see some massive routines. Look out for Kenzo.
I hear David Bishop from New Zealand already broke the High Bar in one of the training centres, broke the bolt right out of the ground. Index fingers pointed at the JF people, this should not happen.
You cannot blame only Janssen Fritzen. FIG approves apparatus with a single point of failure. FIG Tech Committees could prevent apparatus from falling by a simple change in Apparatus specs.
No.
But his competition is getting closer.

FIG:
Kohei Uchimura (Japan), the reigning Olympic Champion who has won an unprecedented three consecutive world titles, will be the man to beat in the men’s All-around competition in Antwerp but it will be difficult for anyone trying to dethrone him. Germany’s Philipp Boy and Marcel Nguyen came closest to Uchimura at the 2011 Worlds and the 2012 Olympics, but with those two as well as Olympic Bronze medallist Danell Leyva (USA) not competing it seems highly unlikely that “King Kohei” will be displaced this year. Place your bets ! …
Uncle Tim thinks Sam Mikulak is a guy who’s got enough magic to defeat Kohei on a bad day.
I’d love to see Hambuchen score 13.90 on Pommels. Then go on to be named World Champion.
But unless he falls twice, Uchimura will be World Champion. Again.
