Men’s Worlds team preview

Based on the numbers available, Kensley ranks the podium teams:

  1. China
  2. Japan
  3. USA

… China, Japan, USA, Great Britain, Ukraine, and Italy should make the team final. The last two spots for the team final are going to be incredibly competitive and dependent on the day.

The same is true of those fighting for the last team spots for the Olympic Games. …

British Gymnastics banned / expelled list

The published information is:

·         The name of the member

·         The primary role of the member within the sport (i.e. coach, judge, gymnast, etc)

·         The date the sanction was applied

·         The sanction (see below for a glossary of terms)

·         The category of the sanction (see below)

British Gymnastics is being criticized for not doing more. But I’m willing to give them credit for this first step in making the sport safer and more ethical.

Team USA to Worlds Antwerp 2023

U.S. World Team trials

It did not go well.

Scores were down from Nationals.

Some felt the Vault table was slippery.

Judges made some mistakes even though there are few competitors and they should have all those routines memorized.

Team will be named after day 2.

Gymnasts can show 1-3 apparatus of their choice.

GymCastic feels Shilese, and Skye are near locks at this point.

… Is it a good idea to have 4 competitions on hard mats so close together. And so close to Worlds?
