Fan favourite Sun Wei is hurting in Liverpool. Minor injuries.
But in the Team competition he brought his usual beautiful form and style.

Automatic qualification to Paris for the top 3.
A disappointing Final. Too many falls. It looks bad. Makes Pommels look like a joke apparatus.
Only China improved (a lot) from the qualification round.
Shout out for Italy and Spain, however. Good job.
Men’s Gymnastics is going the wrong direction
My main takeaway from the TEAM competition is that rules reward DIFFICULTY too much. Quality not enough.Â

Canada coming 3rd with four gymnasts who have never been to Worlds was great. And surprising. BUT Canada does have Ellie Black.
The miracle run of a Japanese team with NO veterans was even more astonishing. Until the very end, they kept putting up routines like this.

Trusting herself to keep this super difficult combination IN the routine for Team Finals, here’s what happened.
excited for WHO in Paris?
Olympic Channel asked some of the best gymnasts in the world who they are looking forward to seeing at the 2024 Olympics.

WAG Team Final in 1-minute
Well.
How do you sum-up one of the most surprising Worlds Team Finals in history?
improving ETHICS / SAFETY
Interesting observation from a top sports journalist.
The top 3 teams at Worlds have all been having a reckoning of how to improve ETHICS / SAFETY — especially because female gymnasts are so young, and the training so intense.
Gymnastics is absolutely the best sport for kids IMHO. But there have been terrible abuses, especially at the highest levels of WAG.
Ellie Black gets emotional
Watching Ellie’s interview was the first time I cried today.
Rebeca’s Bars in Team
Crazy good. The rules don’t reward connected swings nearly as much as they should.
