Kalon was never a gymnast. … That’s why his “Floor exercises” look so unartistic. 🙂

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. …

Catherine of the excellent Beautiful Gymnastics blog suggested something I’d not once considered.

Might China bring a Vault specialist like Li Yiting?

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.
