Strong Japanese team. They have got to be the favorite for gold.

So far we have
WAG: JPN, CAN, AUS
MAG: JPN, CAN, AUS, USA

I am sure Germany will send teams or at least some individuals since its a home meet.

Really unfortunate the USA WAG didn't take this opportunity.
A team of Lexi Zeiss, Skye Blakely, Leanne Wong, Josc Roberson could easily taken home gold and individual medals.

I imagine China will participate, although they haven't named teams yet, AFAIK.

@Passion You can just type "Liu Yang 2" or "Liu Yang the Lesser" if you feel spicy. LOL

Crazy that RG starts tomorrow and nothing on the website. No rosters, no start list. Nada.
It's 2025 people!

It’s also RG. There is a huge gulf between the data and info that’s typically available for AG compared with RG. It does my head in!

Tonya Paulsson posted during the Asian Championships that she would be competing in the World University Games. She has been spending time since those Championships training in Taiwan so it tracks that is still the plan.

If she repeats her 4th place Asian Championships performance here, does she have a shot at top 3 here? What does the rest of the competition look like?

 

[irichluck21]

Not sure about the rest of the competition. I haven't been able to locate a roster.

China is getting pushy with the "Hong Kong, China"

If you're going to call it China, then it's China. No Hong Kong.

Which I don't think most people want to happen. So call it Hong Kong and get over it.

 

[irichluck21]

Armenia destroyed PH.
Currently 1-2-3 on that event and also have the highest team score on PH, 5 points ahead of currently 2nd place Spain.
It's insane how good they are on pommels.

 

[irichluck21]

Canada getting a scare from Switzerland and Spain, though likely to hold the lead after the 5th subdivision.

Switzerland would need a 40.797 on HB, averaging 13.599, which is doable but challenging.

Spain would need 41.998 on FX, averaging 13.999, highly unlikely as only one gymnast has gone above 14.000 so far and that is Luke Whitehouse.
