Rafa Maciel 1,473 Posted March 4 Author #21 Share Posted March 4 Women's Uneven Bars: 1.) Alice Kinsella - 14.500 2.) Ondine Achampong - 14.200 3.) Rebecca Downie - 14.100 4.) Charlotte Booth - 13.450 5.) Amelie Morgan - 13.350 6.) Georgia-Mae Fenton - 13.100 6.) Grace Davies - 13.100 8.) Abigail Martin - 12.500 9.) Tilly Wright - 12.300 10.) Ruby Stacey - 12.300 Arguably GB's strongest piece of apparatus - having 3 athletes able to hit >14 would keep pace with USA and China among others. But it does pose the question of whether Beckie Downie is taken into the team as a single apparatus specialist. Perhaps most disappointing result was from Amelie Morgan - in Tokyo she hit a 14.033 so she was well down on what she is capable of. Both Kinsella and Achampong could be in the mix for an individual final spot - but they'd be unlikely to make the podium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,473 Posted March 4 Author #22 Share Posted March 4 Women's Balance Beam: 1.) Ondine Achampong - 13.750 2.) Georgia-Mae Fenton - 13.650 3.) Amelie Morgan - 13.100 4.) Rebecca Downie - 12.750 5.) Ema Kandalova - 12.650 6.) Abigail Martin - 12.100 7.) Georgie Slack - 12.050 8.) Sophie Goodman - 12.050 9.) Willow Hughes - 11.950 9.) Tiegan Trafford - 11.950 In the absence of Gadirova, it was pretty mediocre scores across the board for a piece of apparatus that has been the undoing of many a GB team. Disappointing that nobody was able to get close to 14. Alice Kinsella had a 'mare of a routine and came away with just 11.600 - in a 3-up and 3 to count format, that is a big risk for the team score.

Rafa Maciel 1,473 Posted March 4 Author #23 Share Posted March 4 (edited) Women's Vault: 1.) Abigail Martin - 13.000 ( 13.700 / 12.300) 2.) Mercedes Mary-Moore - 12.800 (13.150 / 12.450) 3.) Laura Nelson - 12.550 (13.050 / 12. 050) Without Gadirova, GB don't really have a vault specialist. Individual Vaults: 1.) Ondine Achampong - 14.300 2.) Alice Kinsella - 14.100 3.) Amelie Morgan - 13.750 4.) Abigail Martin - 13.700 5.) Georgia-Mae Fenton - 13.600 To be competitive, GB need to have 3 gymnasts who can hit over 14.000 in the vault. Without Gadirova, I'm not sure that we have that. Edited March 4 by Rafa Maciel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,473 Posted March 5 Author #24 Share Posted March 5 Just 2 athletes taking part in Baku Apparatus World Cup this week: Harry Hepworth - (Assuming that he didn't injure himself at the English champs at the weekend). Luke Whitehouse With regards to Giarnni Regini-Moran, he has now missed the 15 of the DSEs. I assume he will be back for the British Champs later this month and he is on the start list for the Challenge Cup in Antalya at the end of March, but he is fast running out of opportunities to impress the selectors.

Rafa Maciel 1,473 Posted March 14 Author #26 Share Posted March 14 Championships got underway today in Liverpool with the juniors and disability athletes getting the action started. From an Olympic selection perspective, the main event kicks off on Saturday - unfortunately I've not been able to track down an official entry list. On the men's side, it will be interesting to see if Regini-Moran is fit and able to compete. For the women, the focus will be on who can raise their game enough to get on to the squad. In the absence of Gadriova, there are 2 places up for grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa Maciel 1,473 Posted March 16 Author #28 Share Posted March 16 (edited) 15.500 for Max Whitlock in qualifying on pommel. 14.400 for Jake Jarman - great to see Jarman consistently getting over 14 on an apparatus that's not necessarily his strongest.

On the downside for Hepworth, he's withdrawn from most of the competition - only taking part on rings and P-Bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
