 Adem Asil won (with margin) the Gold medal in the men's All-Around competition at the European Champs

 Leo Saladino won the Silver medal head of Krisztofer Meszaros, who got the Bronze medal

disappointing results for the  gymnasts, with Abbadini only 11th (he won bronze last year) and Macchiati just closing the ranking

Hopefully they will change the apparatuses. I don't think both the men and women should compete in floor just so we can have some variety.

 

I'd rather have PH, PB, HB for men and UB, BB, FE for women.

 

I don’t get why gymnasts are required to compete on specific apparatuses. Why not let them perform on all of them during qualification, then simply total their top three scores? That would give a fair snapshot of their strengths. In the elimination rounds, let each gymnast choose which apparatus to perform on, just once per apparatus. Simple, strategic, and far less complicated.

But that's what happens, right? The gymnasts can choose their apparatus on the R16, then on the R8 and finally on the final. I loved it, super strategic. 

 

The problem is that it is impossible to have 9 apparatus happening at the same time, so that's why they had to choose...

later on, the men's All-Around competition

Sadly, Germany's big talent Helen Kevric had a nasty fall on the Vault and probably injured her knee. She had to be carried out of the hall.

It's actually feasible, but of course that would be demanding and I don't think anyone would seriously consider setting up the stage for this when only one set of medals is awarded.

 

However, not allowing gymnasts to compete on the apparatus they want all the way is unfair and it kind of makes the whole thing seem pointless (I mean, even more pointless than it already is).

[NearPup 3,560]

There is just no way to make a fair format for a mixed gymnastics team event. I've already resigned myself to the fact it will be a compeltly BS event.

[JoshMartini007 2,769]

I mean, in rhythmic gymnastics they rotate between the apparatus in the group events every four years. There's nothing stopping FIG from selecting which apparatus will be performed on years in advance.

 

With that said, I greatly dislike the IOC adding non-existing events. Let it develop at the World Championship/Cup level before adding it to the games.
