@thiago_simoes I know that Turkey had some Bulgarian gymnastics, but they are all retired. But what abou Dunavska? She is still the Turkey coach?

I don't quite follow who coached which teams, but I read that Turkey has a Bulgarian coach, and this certainly makes a difference! Brazil usually hires a Bulgarian coach to touch up the routines after the Brazilian coach creates them, so we're heavily influenced by Bulgarian style here. I like it a lot.

Senior individual competition was very surprising today. Ashram and Harnasko  had the exact same scores, but Ashram won the tie breaker. I strongly dislike her style, but kudos to her for winning gold. Harnasko had a fantastic competition and I always knew she had enough potential to come close to Ashram, and she finally showed this. I hope she has a spectacular performance at the Olympics.
