2023 European Gymnastics Championship, April 11-16 Antalya, Turkey

[Livi]

Camelia is the problem for Sabrina. They are pushing her so hard and keep increasing the difficulty she can obviously not handle. Same on beam. So many deductions.
Camelia may have had good basics in the past, but that was A. decades ago, technique evolves; and B. it unfortunately does not make her a good coach automatically.

Terrible

 

[J175]

In theory a smaller competition should be more attractive to potential hosts, but two years out nothing has been announced even though 2026 has been. My guess is it’ll end up in Doha again.

How can I follow? I used to read Spencer’s quick hits.

 

[Livi]

There’s a livestream on gymtv.online.
You can choose which apparatus to watch

Ukraine have finished 0.033 behind Norway. They’ll need some luck to get to Worlds from there.

Romania might beat Belgium?

 

[Lisaelaine80]

Ty!

 

[J175]

Romania do beat Belgium. That score might be enough to get them up towards the top 5 maybe?

1	ROU	Romania	156.297
2	BEL	Belgium	154.996
3	ESP	Spain	153.097
4	FIN	Finland	148.230
5	NOR	Norway	144.062
6	UKR	Ukraine	144.029
7	SUI	Switzerland	143.795
8	GRE	Greece	141.530
9	ISL	Iceland	140.363
10	POR	Portugal	137.863

Finland should be safe for Worlds. Interesting that Tanskanen beat Kuusikko today, that could be an interesting contest at Worlds with 1 per country for Paris.

 

[J175]

Top qualifiers for the AA so far. Most of these should be in the final, maybe not all with the very strong subdivision 4 to come later.

Vaelen leads vault and bars (only four gymnasts have done a second vault so far), Ghigoarta is the only person over 13 on beam, Sabrina Voinea leads floor with a 13.7.

 

[MaryClare]

Looks like the British girls spent the morning at the beach!

 

[Livi]

Naomi Visser hit bars for a 14,466. Comfortably in the lead.
Unfortunately Sanna Veerman couldn’t complete her toe on full at the end and won’t make finals

 

[RAFIKI]

Add Eythora to the group of heartbreakers,

 

[Livi]

Great comeback from Sanne Wevers. Definitely some things to improve, but a 13,433 is an amazing start

 

[RAFIKI]

I think Sweden would be a great compulsory team, lots of lovely basics.

 

[Angelika]

Lovely clean lines - I’m so glad Tonya Paulsson has definitely made AA finals - she’s currently 9th, (Van Pol is 2 per’d) and there’s only 16 possible qualifiers from the last sub.

 

[RAFIKI]

1	NED	Netherlands	158.896
2	ROU	Romania	156.297
3	BEL	Belgium	154.996
4	ESP	Spain	153.097
5	SWE	Sweden	149.930
6	FIN	Finland	148.230
7	AUT	Austria	147.497
8	CZE	Czech Republic	145.530
9	NOR	Norway	144.062
10	UKR	Ukraine	144.029
11	SUI	Switzerland	143.795

Final subdivision about to start…

I see the stream is functioning as well today as it was yesterday.

This user on twitter has been adding videos quickly. She’s in the arena

The shit Turkish floor music has been ridiculously loud while GB were on Beam - irritating me never mind the gymnasts!

 

[irichluck21]

Netherlands, Romania, Belgium, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Austria are all guaranteed to go. I would also say Czechia is secure pending Turkey’s result. Turkey shouldn’t be able to go past Switzerland, scoring wise but you never know with hit sets and a home crowd.

Ukraine, sadly, is definitely eliminated unless two teams completely melt down. Looks like Norway is gong to be first out this year instead of second out. Hoping Czechia gets to go to Worlds after the Romania fiasco last year.

Czechia should be 13th at the end as Hungary, GBR, Italy, France, and Germany should all easily advance.

I wonder if Netherlands can hold onto a team medal. Germany and France aren’t as strong as last year, so the team bronze should be up for grabs.

Romania finishing ahead of last year’s Worlds finish of Belgium (11), Finland (16), and Spain (17) bodes well for Olympic qualification.
156.297 would have been 10th last year ahead of Australia.
