British WAG (and MAG!) talk

[Doug1233]

Courtney Tulloch has just come up with a score of 4.3 on floor with short routine deductions. Hope whatever it is isn’t serious.

That’s not good

I think the squad girls are mainly using the English as a warm up for the Welsh Open which is a Euros trial.

 

[Yarotska]

Well it seems like they were just pulled out of the freezer.

Have we seen this yet? WAG Euros selection policy. It’s happening in two weeks.

I hope Jen sits it out.

English Junior WAG results:

1. Abigail Martin 49.700
2. Tiegan Trafford 48.350
   Jemima Taylor 48.100 (Guest - Wales)
3. Ema Grace Kandalova 48.050
4. Poppy Blair 48.000

Then a bit of a gap back to 5th. I don’t know juniors, but with the selection meeting for Junior Worlds scheduled for today, three of the above seem like good bets to make the team.

MAG U-18

1. Winston Powell 78.800
   Reuben Ward 78.750 (Scotland)
2. Alexander Yolshina Cash 78.100
3. Jonas Rushworth 77.200
4. Zion Aserie 76.540

Can you imagine Ellie Downie being your personal trainer at the gym!

 

[MaryClare]

Yes? Plenty of ex elite athletes work as PTs and physios. When I lived in London the gym I went to had a couple of Olympians working there. It wasn’t a big deal, they are just normal people Doug.

 

[Doug1233]

I’m just saying how cool it would be.

Junior world championships teams announced:

 

[Bob]

I was surprised Tiegan Trafford only a reserve. She usually comes in second to Abi Martin.

 

[Samxo]

Hopefully she’ll be selected for EYOF

 

[Bob]

I think Abi should go she is the standout for that year group. Am I right in thinking they only send one?

 

[blake]

It’s 3 gymnasts per coutntry, 2 per apparatus as well.

 

[Bob]

oh thats great for some reason I thought EYOF was one place only.

 

[RedBirdie]

Probably confused with the Youth Olympic Games, which does limit to one entry per country.

Or at least it did previously. They’ve probably changed it and I missed it. Consistency is for losers.

A small update on the Welsh Championships/Euros trial this weekend. The non-Welsh gymnasts are listed on Gymdata, so there may be some hope of scores for the trial.

The last time a YOG was held was 2018. The 2022 version was cancelled due to Covid so 2026 is the next summer version.
3 more years for them to change things.

 

[RAFIKI]

Welsh Championships is happening at the moment. This is one of the GBR WAG Euros trials.
