OK seriously….this routine is incredible! I dare you to find one wobble! A very nicely done routine by Canada’s Kate Richardson at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. I really love the two front aerial combination, and the backhandspring 3/4…..on par with Pavlova’s! So nice….and to cap it all off, stuck dismount!
Canadian Kyle Shewfelt’s Yurchenko 2 and a half from the 2008 Olympics was nearly perfect, just like the video I recently put up of Uchimura. Looks quite effortless and great form in the air too! An excellent stick from one of my favorite male gymnasts!
Pan-American Games Conclude In Mexico
The United States, as expected, was dominant at this competition, winning both the men’s and women’s team competitions, and earning a total of 15 medals: 9 gold, 3 silver, and 3 bronze, the most of any nation. Read on for more results and discussion.
2010 Pacific Rim Championships - Men
The men’s team competition has concluded in Melbourne, Australia, and the United States emerged victorious. Led by seniors Chris Cameron, Steven Legendre, and Danell Leyva, they beat second place China by over 5 points! John Orozco apparently dominated the junior competition.
- United States - 345.95
- China - 340.50
- Canada - 337.25
- Australia - 333.00
- Russia - 326.40
- New Zealand - 313.90
- Singapore - 294.175
Women’s competition is on Friday, which in Australian time I think is actually Thursday night in US time? Not sure, at any rate I will be keeping my eye on the Pacific Rim Facebook page and The Couch Gymnast blog, who are both updating with information from the meet!
