CDN best ever T&T World Cup
Loulé World Cup in Portugal.
Olympic champion Rosie MacLennan returned to the World Cup circuit with a bang on Saturday, winning individual gold in her first solo trampoline competition since last summer, and adding another gold medal in the synchro event with partner and fellow Torontonian Samantha Sendel. …
MacLennan’s teammates on Canada’s powerhouse team racked up more medals in other events to cap a superb weekend.
“By far this is our best ever overall World Cup showing,” said Canadian high performance director Stephan Duchesne of Montreal. …
In women’s double mini, Lexi Geisbrecht of Calgary romped to a convincing victory while teammates Caitlin Brown and Beatrice Prcic, both of Airdrie, Alta., finished sixth and eighth respectively.
Geisbrecht also won gold in the women’s junior individual trampoline competition. …

Recall when the great Power Tumbler competed at the Artistic Winter Cup?

Nothing to it.
Kalon was never a gymnast. … That’s why his “Floor exercises” look so unartistic. 🙂
The only double double layouts I saw at USA Championships 2013 were Leyva, Whittenburg and … Skinner.
USAG:
Sept. 5, 2013 – Kalon Ludvigson of Pocatello, Idaho, recently transferred to Craig Hospital, a spinal and brain injury rehabilitation hospital in Englewood, Colo.
While at Craig Hospital, Ludvigson has begun feeling his toes, feet and legs, but he has not regained movement as of yet. He is in good spirits and facing each day with the same determination and perseverance he has shown on the competition floor. …

LOVE He Kexin
One of the all time greats has truly grown up.
Big smile after she misses, yet again, in what’s likely her last Bar competition.

I hope she makes a LOT of money on her future tell all autobiography.

Catherine of the excellent Beautiful Gymnastics blog suggested something I’d not once considered.
Might China bring a Vault specialist like Li Yiting?
If this was a Team Worlds, Li Yiting might have a chance.
But for Apparatus Worlds, odds are better for Beam and Bars.
We’ve had many, many weak Vault finals in the past. But I expect Antwerp to be very competitive.

With a total of 57.801, both Yao Jinnan and Shang Chunsong demonstrate that they will be favorites for a “top five” all around finish at Worlds.
China will select the other two Worlds team members based on potential to medal on Beam & Bars.

I wasn’t ruling out He Kexin for Bars. But she was inconsistent here again. Most likely she will retire as planned.
Perhaps they’ll have a Camp with all the top contenders on Beam & Bars.
And choose the most consistent. 🙂
