Post your favorite routines performed this year! These are some of mine:
Ana Barbosu FX - EF at Euros
Artur Davtyan VT 2 - EF at Worlds
Really almost every single one of Davtyan's vaults this entire year, but if I had to narrow it down to one it would be this.
Carlos Yulo VT 1 - EF at...
Zhang Boheng TF + AA World golds
Zhang Yihan on World team
Deng Yalan on Asian Games team
Camelia Voinea banned from coaching
Ana Barbosu World FX Champion

Zhang Qingying said that two years ago she was sitting at...

During the meeting of the...

FIG was founded in Liège, Belgium - French speaking. The first two presidents of the FIG (who together spanned the first 50+ years of its existence) were a French-speaking Belgian and a Frenchman.
IOC was founded by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in France.
Both are headquartered in Lausanne...
