2025 World Championships: Men's Qualifications Day 1 October 17/Day 2 October 18

[Denn]

A Thai guy (27 years old, too) made floor finals. He must be so excited!

Aidan Li of Canada made pommel horse finals. He's a Cal athlete.

So that's two NCAA stand-outs in the PH final!

Daniel Marinov (unassociated athlete, but from Russia) made 3 event finals and qualified 4th AA with his bizarre little rings routine.

Many of the other top AAers — except Noe Seifert of Switzerland, who's sitting in 2nd, much to my surprise, honestly — apparently fell somewhere... Hashimoto on floor (and high bar, too??), Zhang Boheng on high bar, Shi Cong on vault, Barajas maybe multiple places?

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Some good qualification results for GB - I'm gonna stick my neck out and say we are safe for 5 finals:
FX - Jake
PH - New kid - Yolshin-Cash
SR - Harry
V - Jake - nope!
HB - Joe

Luke (FX) and Courtney (SR) have to see what follows

Can't believe no one has done AA

Six in the end. I expect they're fairly pleased with that, albeit nobody saw a GB MAG free vault final coming. Poor Courtney, he was still in 8th place until the very last routine of qualifications!

There’s a good chance the US men could leave with more medals than the US women. That’s crazy.

 

[barbara_dewey]

Bell from Jamaica should be very happy with his fx. he nailed most of those landings

He was fun to watch.

They certainly SHOULD! Even without Asher.

I was just thinking that. Seismic shift

 

[KathySantoni]

I was just thinking that. Seismic shift

I thought about this a few years back and I think in 2023 the U.S. men made a significant jump that would keep them up with WAG once Simone retired.

 

[barbara_dewey]

Jesus - what am I doing up at this unearthly hour on a Sunday morning!

The most important thing you COULD be doing: Watching MAG Worls, of course!

 

[JaJa]

Its not just Simone retiring though. If we had the 2012 Olympic Team -- Gabby, Aly, Jordyn, Kyla and McKayla -- at Worlds this year I do not think we would be thinking the men will medal more than WAG.

Pulling apart the finals/finalists a little.

• 56 gymnasts made finals (72 total spots available). Of the 22 reserve spots, 10 are filled by gymnasts qualified to at least one final

• Marinov of the cheese rings made most finals: all around, vault, p-bars, high bar.
• Shi made three finals: all around, p-bars, high bar. Hashimoto and Zhang would have made three without country limits.
• 11 gymnasts made two finals: Barajas, Hashimoto, Karimi, Meszaros, Minami, Oka, Souza, Tsunogai, Whittenburg, Yulo, Zhang.

That's SUCH a STUPID FUCKING RULE.

First of all, why is there no piked version to downgrade it to? So you bend your hips a bit and it's a loss not only of 0.5 in the E-score but also a loss of about 0.6 for the element (compared to an A they sub in)? That's not ACTUALLY a large error. It should be a 0.1 or 0.2 downgrade. or a 0.1 or max 0.3 deduction. THAT'S IT.

I am not a violent person, but even I want to punch the face of the fucking moron who created that rule. Because that is a REALLY stupid person.

Do it, Denn. I'll post your bail.

That team competed 12 years ago.

right. So?? My point is the changes in WAG are not just about Simone retiring

Ag

right. So?? My point is the changes in WAG are not just about Simone retiring

Agreed. And I don't think this YS WAG team would have been even second string in 2012. They obviously love the sport, but they are extremely beatable. If they win any events, it's because they got a LOT of help.
Anyway, go, MAG!

If Simone were competing at this worlds would the men be able to equal or surpass the women’s medal haul the way we are speculating they might do so by the end of the week?
