Hugely difficult.

Should make the Final with that. But there’s plenty of competition for the podium.
Steve’s Vault warm-up did not go nearly as well. But anything can happen on that apparatus.

Podium – Men’s subsection 4
My first session at #WChAntwerp.
Follow LIVE @GymCoaching #WChAntwerp
Level of difficulty is HIGH.
Quality and consistency, … not so much.
Kristian Thomas looks completely healthy. Clean. Strong. Chance for a Vault medal.
Two of the top vaulters in this session (CHN, ROM) left vault with possible injuries. This apparatus is very, very dangerous right now. The FIG landing mats are simply not forgiving enough.
Pommels looked strong. Prashanth Sellathurai, Berki.
Many are wishing Orozco was competing the AA. He’d have a good chance in this reduced field.
Watch John’s H Bar routine.
On the other hand, Rio is the big goal. After two major injuries, John should take no unnecessary chances.
Grace Chiu’s terrific photos of Sub 4 on Inside Gymnastics.
Sam could win it
Most male gymnasts do very little in podium training.
Yet Sam Mikulak was rocking full sets day 1 podium.
Click PLAY or watch his Vault on YouTube.
He says he’s out there to “have fun” and “put on a show”. But Team USA is looking forward to see what happens if Sam hits 6 for 6 in the AA finals.
He’s healthy and hitting right now.
See more U.S. podium training on the USAG YouTube channel.
Hey. Hambuchen wants to train at Michigan for a semester. To train with Sam. That’s mentioned at the end of an excellent Inside Gymnastics interview.
Fabian is the best interview in Men’s Gymnastics right now.
Thanks Catty Comments.

Shirai Kenzo – Floor
He’s almost certainly going to have the highest start score at #WChAntwerp.
E+D, C+F, B+D, C, D+E, C, F = 4.9 + 2.5 = 7.4 D-score

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.
who will WIN Worlds?

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