2025 Universiade Games (Essen, Germany) Jul 22-26

[BB12]

Jesse Moore (AUS) might be a chance for bronze in the AA, he counted two falls in quals: on PH and on his Kolman on HB.

He's been falling on both recently but can go over 14 on both when he hits so fingers crossed.

I guess Shoko Miyata has finally quit smoking

 

[irichluck21]

Or she makes sure her teammates don't catch her doing it.

 

[blake]

Here is Japan's amazing team performance. If there was a team Worlds this year, this team could be super competitive. Great to see Miyata Shoko back.

And that total is without support from Sugihara and Nakamura!

 

[Doug1233]

Yeah. I didn't see video of it but eye witnesses have stated that he landed his triple back rings dismount on his neck and was not able to move.
The German team withdrew following his injury.

Awful awful awful.

Not a positive sign…

 

[Sasha]

I thought the Italians withdrew. The Germans did too?

Sorry Italians, I don't know why I typed Germans.

The Start List has Kate McDonald in!

 

[Caligym]

That was a really nice Y1.5 from Jade Vansteenkiste!

 

[RedBirdie]

McDonald promptly off the beam on an aerial. Shame.

ETA: and off again on a wolf turn.

 

[irichluck21]

Mana Okamura inquired about her beam score , 14 and it was lowered to 13.7.
Interesting to see if that impacts her medal chances.

 

[Caligym]

I really enjoyed the women’s AA final. Great to see the Japanese women do so well and very happy to see Paullssen excelling with her new team. Excited to see her next year in NCAA, she has just the right combination of artistry, execution and difficulty to shine there.

 

[BB12]

McDonald promptly off the beam on an aerial. Shame.

ETA: and off again on a wolf turn.

She needs to change those wolf turns because she fell at multiple world cups on them too.

Japan’s ‘almost perfect’ Hashimoto Daiki and ‘pretty good’ Miyata Shoko are head of the class in World University Games all-around finals | International Gymnast Magazine Online

Japanese gymnasts continued to school the rest of the competition at the World University Games in Essen on Friday by capturing gold and silver in the men’s and women’s all-around finals.

It's interesting that Shinnosuke Oka didn't get the "Daiki Hashimoto" benefit of being Olympic champ when he was 3pered from the AA
