NearPup 2,095 Posted October 21, 2021 #51 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The decade long US stronghold on the women’s individual all around at the Worlds and Olympics is finally over courtesy of Angelina Melnikova, though the US got surprisingly close to retaining the title.

It was about time. Besides, Melnikova is a huge example in perseverance. She started as a mediocre gymnast, almost helpless on some apparatus, bus now she is both a World and Olympic champion. This gives hope for basically anyone who takes up this sport. Even if you're not exactly gifted or exceptionally talented, you can work hard and become the best all the same.

The most attractive part for Chinese fans should be the AA battle between OG champion Daiki Hashimoto and our rising star Zhang Boheng. Our Zhang Boheng won the battle against Hashimoto in Japan! Happy for his worlds champion title but regretful for his absence on OG. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edvid 22 Posted October 22, 2021 #55 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Winning margin was a tiny 0.017! Don't know for sure but that's got to be the smallest AA Worlds-winning margin since the 2006 Code and its successors were introduced.

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted October 23, 2021 #58 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Yulo could have chosen to step out of bounds and lose 0.1 in execution and 0.1 in penalty, but he tried to save it, lost control, had a 0.5 deduction and moved out of bounds with two feet for an extra 0.3 in penalty. What a stupid, stupid decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
